10. Tests
The hydraulic units are subject to very high mechanical loads. A visual inspection is therefore
to be carried out after every use, however at least one visual inspection is to be carried out
every six months.
This reveals wear and tear in good time; punctual replacement of these wearing parts
prevents damage to the equipment. Also check regularly that all the securing screws are
tightened (if applicable, comply with prescribed tightening torques)
Every 3 years or when there might be doubts regarding the safety or reliability of the unit, an
additional functional 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
regulations of the Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (GUV; 'statutory accident insurance') are
mandatory.
CAUTION!
Clean off any dirt before checking the equipment!
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
In order to carry out testing, maintenance and repair work, tools appropriate for
the job and personal protecting equipment are essential. (use protective shields
if required).
LUKAS offers a suitable test kit for the functional check of the hydraulic units.
(For specifi c details, please consult the LUKAS range of accessories or contact your
