10. Care and maintenance
The hydraulic units are subject to very high mechanical stresses. Therefore, a visual inspection
needs to be made after each use, but at least once every half-year.
In this way, early signs of wear are recognizable so that damage to the device can be avoided by
prompt replacement of these wear parts. Also check regularly to make sure that all attachment
screws are tightened (heed any applicable tightening torque speci¿ cations).
Every 3 years, or if there is a doubt about the safety or reliability, a functional check should
be also performed (For this purpose, also heed the corresponding applicable national and
international speci¿ cations related to the maintenance intervals of rescue devices). In the
Federal Republic of Germany, regular safety technology tests are prescribed in accordance
with the regulations of the Statutory Accident Insurance (GUV).
ATTENTION!
Clean the device before checking for dirt!
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
To perform maintenance and repairs, personal safety equipment appropriate for
the work is an absolute requirement. (incl. shields).
LUKAS offers a corresponding test set for the functional check of the hydraulic units.
(For more details, please refer to the LUKAS line of accessories or contact your LUKAS
dealer.)
Additional measures on the motor for longer storage periods:
If the unit will not be used for a period of 6 months or more, the following measures
must be taken:
• Loosen the fuel line and carefully drain the
tank.
The quality of petrol remaining in the tank
deteriorates, and starting the motor becomes
more dif¿ cult.
• Use a hand pump to drain the fuel from the
tank and insert it in the ¿ lling port.
• Loosen the drain plug on the carburettor.
• Replace the motor oil.
• Check to ensure that no screws and nuts have
become loose, if necessary retighten them.
• Pull the handle of the recoil starter until you
feel resistance and leave the handle in its
position.
