Only LUKAS motor pumps or suitable LUKAS hand pumps may be used to drive the
equipment.
If an other-make pump assembly or hand pump is used, it is necessary to make sure that it
is designed in accordance with LUKAS specifications otherwise hazardous situations could
occur for which LUKAS cannot be held responsible. Particular care must be taken to ensure
that the maximum permissible operating pressure of the connected LUKAS devices is not
exceeded.
NOTE:
Before you use pumps of a different manufacturer, you must contact LUKAS or
an authorised dealer.
The connection between the pump assembly or hand pump and the hydraulic jacks is made
by hose lines.
4.2 Hydraulic supply of jacks
5.1 Basic information
Double-acting, hydraulically operated implements are fitted with a male quick-disconnect
coupling on the pressure supply side (jacks: jack bottom end) and a female quick-disconnect
coupling on the return side (jacks: piston rod end); a pair of extension hoses connect them
to the control unit.
Single-acting, hydraulically operated implements are fitted with a male quick-disconnect
coupling on the pressure supply side; an extension hose line connects it to the pump
assembly or control unit.
All LUKAS extension hose pairs/lines are colour-coded and equipped with quick-disconnect
couplings to minimise the possibility of misconnection.

WARNING / DANGER / CAUTION!
Before connecting equipment, make sure that
all the components
used are suitable for the maximum operating pressure of the
pump unit. In cases of doubt, you must consult LUKAS directly!
