Never work in a fatigued or intoxicated state! 3. Intended use The LUKAS hand and foot pumps are used for the operation of LUKAS rescue devices. They can be used as an additional or replacement drive source along with the LUKAS hydraulic unit (e.g.
To connect rescue equipment, adapter blocks must be installed (see subchapter "Adapter blocks" for more information). In the case of the pumps are sold by LUKAS, one of these adapter blocks is always included as standard equipment and is already installed.
Lock Base plate The LUKAS foot pump and LUKAS hand pump are basically identical in their design and function. Merely the hand lever and the drain valve were replaced by a foot pump lever. The foot pump lever can not be retracted, however is equipped with a return spring that will move the foot pump lever automatically into its upper position after the lock (6) has been opened (refer to image above).

6.2 Quick-disconnect-couplings The hose lines are connected via quick-disconnect coupling halves (female and male) to the hydraulic pump in such a way that they cannot be reversed. Before connecting the couplings, remove the dust cap, then pull back and hold the locking sleeve of the female coupling (Position X).
6.3 Monocouplings The hose lines are connected via quick-disconnect coupling halves (female and male) to the hydraulic pump in such a way that they cannot be reversed. Dust caps Male coupling Female coupling Before coupling, remove dust caps, then connect male and female couplings and turn locking sleeve of the female coupling in direction "1"...
7. Commissioning NOTE: With the LUKAS hand and foot pump, a little idle stroke may occur when the unit is first used in the high pressure range. However, this idle stroke independently disappears after a device is operated 2-3 times.
NOTE: To bleed connected equipment, make sure that the highest point of the connected devices are below the level of the pump. Before operating the pump, you should also open the oil fill screw plug. Only in this way can any trapped air escape the hydraulic system when the pump is operated. You should operate the connected equipment several times without load.
These pumps are custom-assembled for each customer; therefore, there may be a different transport device or none! In these cases, please refer to your authorised dealers or LUKAS directly. The lever must be locked for transport, as described in the chapter "Unlocking the pump".
Additional components of the equipment may only be replaced if: - You have participated in a corresponding LUKAS service training course. - You have the express permission of LUKAS customer service (by request, check on the grant of permission. A check is necessary in each individual case).
The resulting max. operating pressure must not drop by more than 5% after 10 seconds. A test pressure gauge is available from the LUKAS line of accessories. 10.3 Hydraulic fluid change or adding hydraulic fluid The hydraulic fluid should be changed if dirty at least once a year. When the hydraulic pump is operated in an especially dusty environment, we recommend changing the fluid at least once every half year.
Additional components of the equipment may only be replaced if: - You have participated in a corresponding LUKAS service training course. - You have the express permission of LUKAS customer service (by request, check on the grant of permission. A check is necessary in each individual case).
