6000 Intended use
The LUKAS Pulling Device serves for pulling rolling stock in or opposite to their driving direction.
Furthermore run-up rail vehicles can be pulled apart after an accident.
For operation of the device only genuine LUKAS motor pumps and control tables must be used.
7000 Description
The pulling device consists of the following components (see cover page):
7100 Hydraulic cylinder "HOP" (1) with through bore to accomodate the pulling rope. The cylinder
is double-acting, i. e. the piston advances and returns hydraulically.
7200 Pulling rope (2) with pressed-on sleeves and pulling eye on one end.
7300 Two rail attachments (3) which are wedged on top of the rails. They serve as counter
support for the pulling movement.
7400 Two holding ropes (4) - with fixing eyes on both ends - for connection between the pulling
cylinder and the rail attachments.
8000 Installation
8100 Fasten the end of the pulling rope c/w pulling eye to the object to be pulled, e. g. with a suitable
shackle or further steel wire ropes. Fasten the rope as low as possible above the ground.
Attention:
Make sure that all accessories provided by yourself have a sufficient safety factor as
against the max. pulling force of 22 tons!
8200 Set the pulling cylinder up between the rails in a distance of approx. 8 m as from the object
to be pulled. Observe that the "trumpet"-shaped end of the cylinder has to point away from the
vehicle.
8300 Unlatch the pulling rope arresting mechanism (on front and rear end of the cylinder) as
follows:
Lift the spring-loaded pin.
