remarks and drawings they contain.
Should there be any uncertainties regarding the repairs, please contact your authorised
LUKAS dealer or LUKAS Customer Service.
CAUTION!
As LUKAS hydraulic units are designed for extremely heavy loads, it is prohibited
to attempt any repairs other than those described in the operating instructions.
Repairs not described in the operating instructions require the approval of
LUKAS Hydraulik GmbH.
