5.6 Connection to the rescue equipment
5.7 Connection options
Connection with the rescue equipment is via extension hose pairs or hose reels. These
are available in various lengths, coloured bend protections and with various connection
options.
The individual hoses of a hose pair are to be differentiated by colour to prevent confusion of
the pressure and return hoses.
(For specific details, please consult the LUKAS range of accessories or contact your
LUKAS dealer).
The connections for the hydraulic hoses are always on the valve block.
In the standard range, only mono-couplings or alternatively direct connections, or quick-
disconnect couplings or alternatively direct connections are envisaged. Depending on the
coupling variant, an autonomous connecting block is fitted on the unit.
In order to be able to use the direct connection as an alternative possible connection, an
adapter or connection nipple (male) must be fitted in the connecting block beforehand.
(Fitting the adapter, see chapter "Assembly of coupling systems")
5.5.4 Frame for rescue sets
The frame for rescue sets is specifically designed for the motor / engine and all the
components included in a rescue set. In some cases, these frames have additional mounting
options or special attachment parts.
(For specific information, please contact your authorised LUKAS dealer or LUKAS directly.)
5.5.5 F frames
The F frame is currently the largest frame in the LUKAS range. This frame is deployed if
the size of the motor and mounted parts makes other frame variants too small. The special
shape of this frame enables mounting of connection hose reels (one double and two single
hose reels).
This frame is mainly used for combustion engine units with triple-flow control valves (TRIMO
units).
