10. Repairs
Service work may only be performed by the device manufacturer or by personnel trained by
the device manufacturer and authorised LUKAS dealers.
Only LUKAS spare parts may be used to replace all components (see spare parts list) since
special tools, assembly instructions, safety aspects, inspections will have to be taken into
account (see also chapter „Maintenance and service”).
During assembly work, pay particular attention to the cleanliness of all components
because dirt can damage the equipment!
WARNING / CAUTION!
Protective clothing must be worn when repairs are being carried out, since the
units can also be pressurised when in an idle state.
10.1 General information
10.2 Preventive maintenance
CAUTION!
Since LUKAS hydraulic cylinders are designed for top performance, only those
components in the spare parts lists for the relevant unit may be replaced.
Other components on the cylinders may only be replaced if:
- you have taken part in appropriate LUKAS service training,
- you have the explicit permission of the LUKAS Service department (After
request, check for the granting of permission. A check is necessary in each
individual case).
When cleaning the equipment, take care not to use any cleaning agent that has
a pH value outside the range 5 - 8!
10.2.1 Care instructions
The exterior of the equipment must be cleaned from time to time in order to protect it from
external corrosion. A suitable agent must be applied to the metallic surfaces.
(In case of doubt, contact your authorised LUKAS dealer or LUKAS directly!)
NOTE:
Before you use couplings from a different company, you must always contact
LUKAS or an authorized dealer.
Do not perform any repairs without the corresponding LUKAS spare parts list,
because necessary tightening torques for screw connections and/or in some
cases also important additional information are listed there.
The address of LUKAS Customer Service can be found in the Chapter “Fault Analysis”.
Genuine spare parts, accessories for the equipment and suitable hydraulic fluids can be
ordered from your authorised LUKAS dealer!
