6.2 Direct connection
The hydraulic hoses are screw-connected to the connecting block of the hydraulic unit. The
connecting block must contain the necessary connection nipples. The hoses are fastened
to these connection nipples directly by union nuts. To do this, you need to remove the
dust protection caps or screw plugs and the steel balls underneath before connecting the
hydraulic hose and securing the hose to the connection nipple by tightening the union nut.
The specified tightening torque of 35 Nm must be observed. At the connecting block, the
return line is labelled “T” and the supply line is labelled “P”.
REMARK:
To be able to screw the hoses onto the connecting block directly, you must
check first whether the corresponding connection nipples are fitted inside the
connecting block.
CAUTION!
Always connect the return hose first and then the supply hose.

7.1 Installation
WARNING / DANGER / CAUTION!
Combustion engine units and most electrical units must not be used in a
potentially explosive situation (danger of the formation of sparks). Units with
combustion engines must not be used in enclosed spaces, as there is a danger
of poisoning and/or asphyxiation.
The unit is to be set up in a suitable location (safe location / flat surface / sufficient distance
from vehicles, loads, sources of ignition, etc.).
LUKAS units work perfectly at an angle of up to 30°. However, in order to guarantee maximum
safety and fluid withdrawal, they should be operated in as horizontal a position as possible.
