Product safety
2.
LUKAS products are developed and manufactured in order to guarantee the best performance
and quality when used properly.
Operator safety is the most important aspect of the product design. Moreover, the operating
instructions are intended to ensure LUKAS products are used safely.
The generally applicable legal and other binding regulations pertaining to the prevention of
accidents and protection of the environment apply and are to be complied with in addition to
the operating instructions.
The equipment may only be operated by persons with appropriate training in the safety
aspects of such equipment – otherwise, there is a danger of injury occurring.
We would like to point out to all users that they should read the operating instructions carefully
before using the equipment and comply with the instructions there without restriction.
We further recommend that a qualified instructor train you in the use of the product.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The operating instructions for the hoses, the accessories and the connected
hydraulic equipment must also be observed.
Even if you have already received instructions on how to use the equipment, you should still
read through the following safety instructions once again.
Make sure that limbs or
clothing cannot become
trapped between the exposed

It is prohibited to work under
load if this load is lifted
exclusively by hydraulic
equipment. If this work
is absolutely imperative,
additional mechanical
