Correct use of the device 1.1. The device has been constructed according to the latest technology and the recognised safety regulations. However, danger to life or limb can arise for the operator or third parties occur during use or the device and other items can be damaged. 1.2.
The operating pressure marked on the device must not be exceeded. Only original LUKAS parts and original LUKAS accessories and system components should be used for repairs. Prescribed and named deadlines for tests/inspections as stated in the operating instructions must be observed.
3.12 The generation of an electrostatic charge producing sparks as a possible consequence should be avoided when working with the device. 3.13 When working with or storing the device, ensure that the function and safety of the device are not affected by large external temperature effects and that it is not damaged.
Safety instructions for hose lines A T T E N T I O N ! The hoses must never come into contact with brake fluid. After coming to contact with the following fluids, the hoses must immediately be cleaned: • acids, soaps, solutions / diluted •...

5.1 Handling instructions for hose lines The defined operating pressure must not be exceeded. The hoses must not be subjected to tension and torsion (see picture 2, fig. 1). The hose line must not be bent (see picture 2, fig. 2). Do not pull or lay hoses across edges (see picture 2, fig.
Storage times and period of use exceeded. Indented use LSI 600E and 400E cutters are exclusively to be connected to a LUKAS power package of series PO... / LSI being equipped with a suitable electromagnetic valve assembly. Model LSI 600 comes without any control valve. It is meant for stationary use and is to be operated by a taylor-made LUKAS power unit.
7.3 Hydraulic power package A LUKAS motor pump of PO6... LSI series is to be used for operating the devices. If the power pack comes from a manufacturer other than LUKAS, it must be ensured that it fulfills the LUKAS specifications (see connection diagram), as otherwise dangers may occur for which LUKAS cannot be held liable.
Quick couplers partly have special functions. Therefore it is not allowed screwing them off from the hoses or to exchange them. 8.4 Electric (only LSI 600 E and LSI 400 E) The 0,5 m long electric connection cable (USA: 3m) on the device is fitted with a plug which has to be connected with the coupling of the electric feeder cable running parallel to the hose pair from the power pack.

Note: Before working on the pump power pack or for coupling/decoupling the hoses, make sure that the pump power pack is switched off (electric connection) or disconnected from the mains and that the lines are unpressurized. 9.1.3 Warnings Before any operation of the cutter unit (concerns manually as well as remotely controlled devices) make sure that the movement of the blades does not constitue a risk to persons (involved or uninvolved) or that the blades or cut-off parts jerking away cannot damage property.
Dismantling of the device / Stop after operation 10.1 Cutter unit After operation, close the blades to a tip distance of a few mm. This relaxes the unit hydraulically and mechanically. 10.2 Hydraulic power pack Stop the hydraulic power pack after operation. 10.3 Hoses Uncouple the red hose first and the blue hose second as described under 8.3.
(opens at 30 MPa) in the cutter valve will take care for pressure equalization. Oil escapes in the area of the star grip. After the pressure has decreased, the valve is leak-proof again. If the valve is permanently leaking, the device must be checked by LUKAS. 12.2 Preventative service 12.2.1 Routine checks The torque of the central bolt must be checked regularly.

Lubricate the cutter with a grease gun with LUKAS special grease as shown in the picture right. Excess grease on the lubrication nipple (see left) after lubrication should be removed and disposed of professional. Attention! When working with upturned blades, in particular, please ensure that no coarse fragments reaches the mechanical parts under the hand guard of the device.

12.2.3 Function and load test If there are doubts about the safety and reliability, an additional function and load test must be carried out. For that purpose LUKAS offers a test equipment. 12.2.4 Changing the hydraulic oil - Change the hydraulic oil after approx. 500 operating hours, but after 2 yeas at latest;...
