9. Tests
The P600OE is subject to very high levels of mechanical loading as a result of the high
operating pressure. A visual inspection must therefore be carried out after every use and at
least one visual inspection must be carried out every six months. These inspections enable
the early detection of wear and tear, which means that punctual replacement of these
wearing parts prevents damage.
CAUTION!
Clean off any dirt before checking the device!
When cleaning the equipment, take care not to use any cleaning agent with a pH
value outside the range 5 - 8!
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
In order to carry out maintenance and repair work, tools appropriate for the job
and personal protection equipment must be used.
The maintenance and repair staff must have adequate technical and specialised
knowledge. LUKAS offers appropriate training courses for this.
Operating time per day Functional check
up to 1 hour 1 x annually
up to 8 hours 1 x per quarter
up to 24 hours 1 x per month
In addition to these test intervals you need to carry out a function test if:
- the unit makes suspicious noises,
- there is a justifi ed suspicion of internal damage to the unit.
An annual inspection of the tool is due once per year. This inspection must be performed by
a person with the necessary expertise. This means that the person must possess adequate
specialist knowledge and experience in the fi elds of electrical engineering and hydraulics, so
that they can objectively assess the condition of the tool.
At least every 3 years or when there might be doubts regarding the safety or reliability of
the unit, an additional function check is to be carried out (in this connection, comply with the
applicable national and international regulations with regard to the maintenance intervals of
rescue equipment). In the Federal Republic of Germany, regular safety inspections according
to the legal accident insurance regulations (GUV - Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung) are
mandatory.
We recommend carrying out a function check at the following intervals:
