WARNING / CAUTION!
Never use a rescue ram without claw or adequate accessories! The cylinder could
slip away while moving and this could result ininjuries of the user. Furthermore
the piston rod or the adapter of the claw could be damage thereby.
WARNING / CAUTION!
When positioning the rescue ram (without LUKAS support bearings), it is
imperative that all four ends of both the piston claw and the cylinder claw are
fl ush.
When positioning the rescue ram (to a LUKAS support bearing), it is imperative
that the area between the four ends of the claw are fl ush with the round bar of
the bearing.
This avoids a one-sided application of force into the cylinder. Lifted objects must
then be secured by means of stable supports or substructures!
7.2 Danger notes
Before activating the rescue ram, always ensure that there is no danger to persons either
involved / uninvolved in the action by the movement of the piston rod or by fl ying fragments.
Further avoid unnecessary damage to property belonging to others, objects not involved by
the cylinder pistons / fl ying fragments.
Holding the piston rod during operation of the equipment is
strictly forbidden!
