  • Page 10: Motor Variants

    5.2 Motor variants WARNING / DANGER / CAUTION! For all motor variants, also comply with the separate operating instructions of each motor manufacturer. 5.2.1 Electrical These hydraulic units are equipped with an electric motor. The electric motor is driven by electricity from the mains supply or by electricity produced by generators.

    WARNING / DANGER / CAUTION! In the interests of safety, the pressure set at this pressure limiting valve must not be adjusted (without direct approval of LUKAS). 5.4 Frames All hydraulic units for the rerailing equipment are supplied with a frame. The frame enables optional accessories to be attached directly to it.
  • Page 12: Connection Of The Hoses

    Connection of the hoses CAUTION! When connecting the hose assemblies, always ensure that the connection components are not soiled; clean beforehand if necessary. REMARK: Before you attempt to connect or disconnect hose lines to or from the hydraulic unit, including hose lines with quick-disconnect couplings, always make sure that the pump assembly is switched off.
  • Page 13: Direct Connection

    6.2 Direct connection REMARK: To be able to screw the hoses onto the connecting block directly, you must check first whether the corresponding connection nipples are fitted inside the connecting block. The hydraulic hoses are screw-connected to the connecting block of the hydraulic unit. The connecting block must contain the necessary connection nipples.
  • Page 14: Start-Up

    7.2 Start-up Please proceed as follows: 1. First of all, check the hydraulic fluid level of the unit. Depending on the unit model, the fluid level is indicated by a fluid sight glass (maximum = centre of sight glass; refill required if fluid level no longer visible in the sight glass) or a dipstick (usually attached to a filler screw).
  • Page 15: Operation

    Operation CAUTION! Before the motor is started, the hydraulic unit and the control unit must be switched to depressurised circulation (for the hydraulic unit, this means connecting the supply and return lines together, for example). Only in this way is it possible to start the unit without a hydraulic load.
  • Page 16: Stopping The Motors

    An electric starter is available from the LUKAS range of accessories for some units. (For specific details, please consult the LUKAS range of accessories or contact your LUKAS dealer). On these units, after checking the fluid levels, proceed as follows: Switch to "START ENGINE" Turn the ignition key clockwise. Charge the accumulator of the electric starter: Switch to "CHARGE BATTERY"...

    2. When the engine has come to a standstill, close the fuel tap. Procedure for stopping Honda engines: 1. Set the ON / OFF switch to the OFF position. 2. When the engine has come to a standstill, close the fuel tap.
  • Page 18: Maintenance And Service

    Maintenance and service The hydraulic units are subject to very high mechanical loads. For this reason, visual inspections and function tests must be carried out at regular time intervals. These inspections and tests enable signs of wear to be identified in good time. Prompt replacement of wear parts can then prevent damage to the equipment.

    Function test • No suspicious noises • Checks at nominal pressure (75% of maximum pressure) (Recommendation: Carry out the load test with a fully assembled rerailing system. LUKAS also offers a range of appropriate test equipment.) Repairs 11.1 General Servicing may only be carried out by the manufacturer or personnel trained by the manufacturer and by authorised LUKAS dealers.
  • Page 21: Preventive Service

    11.2 Preventive service 11.2.1 Care instructions The exterior of the equipment is to be cleaned from time to time in order to protect it from external corrosion. Oil is to be applied to the metallic surfaces. 11.2.2 Replacing the hydraulic fluid - After approx. 200 deployments, but after three years at the latest, replace the hydraulic fluid - The fluid should be replaced when it is warmed up.

  • Page 23 Take care not to lose spacer rings “N”. Free the entire reservoir of dirt using a smooth cloth.
  • Page 24 When you refit the reservoir, exchange the reservoir seal and fasten the securing bolts (for tightening torque, see spare parts list). Also replace the seal ring of the drain plug and fit it as specified in the spare parts list. Add the new hydraulic fluid to the reservoir through the filling plug.
