4. Proper use
Spare parts and accessories for the rescue tool can be ordered from your authorisied
LUKAS-dealer!
The LUKAS rescue equipment is designed specifi cally for the emergency services. Their
objective is to free people trapped in traffi c accidents when the clearance distance of a
spreader is insuffi cient e.g. by spreading or lifting car parts (see fi gure below). Their objective
in other disasters is to rescue buried or trapped persons (e.g. to remove pieces of concrete
from collapsed houses).
The equipment can also be used under water at a depth of up to 40m (131 ft).
Basically, objects can be pushed away or their position can be altered.
CAUTION!
In this case, you must strictly observe any leaks in order to avoid threats to the
environment.
WARNING / CAUTION!
All objects which have to be moved are to be secured using stable supports or
substructures. Furthermore, it must be ensured that the rescue ram cannot slip.
We recommend that you use support bearings. These are available in the LUKAS
accessories programme.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The following may not be squeezed:
-
live cables
- hardened parts such as steering columns and rollers
- explosive bodies such as airbag cartouches
NEVER operate the rescue equipment at a higher operating pressure than that
stated in the chapter “Technical data”. A higher setting can result in material
damage and/or injuries.
