WARNING/CAUTION!
See also the separate operating instructions of each engine manufacturer
accompanying the delivery.
5.3.1 Petrol motor
These hydraulic units are equipped with a combustion engine driven by the fuel "petrol".
The power units are equipped with a cable starter with which the engine is started.
(For specifi c details, please consult the separate operating instructions of the engine
manufacturer!)
The HONDA engines have a main switch that must be activated to switch the power unit on
and off. The speed adjusting lever on these power units have two positions.
Switch position 1: Speed 3000 1/min " " and
Switch position 2: Speed 3800 1/min " " .
The setting is changed by moving the speed adjusting lever, which is infi nitely variable.
NOTE:
The engine installed in LUKAS power units does not match every detail of the
engine described in the manufacturer's separate operating instructions.
Nevertheless, it is important that you follow all safety rules and operating,
maintenance and storage instructions in the separate engine instructions as
absolute since they are not affected by adjustments made by LUKAS.

5.4 Valves in the pump block
Both valves of the power unit in the pump block are ¿ xed in place. The pump block is fully
integrated into the hydraulic power unit. The hose assemblies (pressure line (grey) and
return (blue)) must be connected to the pump block. The rescue equipment is connected to
the hose assemblies. Model P 630 units are equipped with a SIMO connecting block.
5.4.1 Control valves in the pump block "simultaneous operation" (SIMO)
The control valves are located in the pump block of the P 630 lite. Two pressure hoses and
two return hoses can be connected. Each valve has two switching options, each of which
controls the pressure application of the corresponding pressure hose. This means that two
devices can be supplied with pressure simultaneously and independently of each
another. Without impairing the work output, it enables work with two devices simultaneously
and independently of each another.
ATTENTION!
When operating several pieces of rescue equipment with one unit, ensure
that the usable volume of hydraulic À uid in the power unit is greater than the
maximum possible operating À uid volume of all connected rescue equipment.
14
5.5 Pumps
The LUKAS model P 630 lite hydraulic power pump is equipped with a double-À ow pump for
operation with the SIMO valve.
The pump used always has two pressure stages per pump feed À ow, one low pressure and
one high pressure.
Low-pressure level (LP) = up to 14 MPa*
Low-pressure level (HP) = up to 70 MPa* *) 1 MPa = 1 0 bar )
The changeover from low pressure to high pressure is carried out automatically in the pump.
This system is secured with a pressure limiting valve. Therefore, the maximum permissible
system pressure cannot be exceeded.
WARNING/CAUTION!
For safety reasons, the pressure set on this valve must not be adjusted (without
the approval of LUKAS directly)!
5.6 Connecting the P 630 HV lite power unit with rescue equipment
Connection with the rescue equipment is via extension hose pairs of the following models:
- 5.0 m long - kink-protection, blue - order number: 81-62-05
- 10.0 m long - kink-protection, blue - order number: 81-62-10
5.6.1 Direct connection
The hydraulic hoses are screw-connected to the pump block of the hydraulic unit. Screw-in
nipples are mounted in the pump block. The hoses are connected to these screw-in nipples
directly using union nuts. You must ¿ rst remove the dust protection caps from the hoses and
remove the stopper screws and the steel balls underneath on the pump block of the power
unit. Subsequently, connect the corresponding hydraulic hose with the union nuts to the
screw-in nipples. Please observe the tightening torque of 35 Nm.
ATTENTION!
Always connect the return line (blue / T1 or T2) ¿ rst and then the supply line
(grey / P1 or P2)! Raise the blind plugs consisting of union nuts and steel ball.
If a hose pair is not connected, the hoses must always be connected to the
pump with balls and union nuts.

Remove the dust caps before coupling together. Then push the male and female parts
together and turn the locking sleeve on the female coupling in the direction "1" until the
locking sleeve clicks in place. The connection has been made and locked. Decoupling is
accomplished by turning the locking sleeve in direction "0".
Coupling of the hose assemblies when under pressure is also possible, assuming the
connected equipment is not turned on.
NOTE:
We recommend connecting the coupling halves in a depressurised state
when working in areas with low ambient temperature and using extension hose
assemblies / hose reels, as otherwise the coupling may require the application
of a great deal of force.
For dust protection, the supplied dust caps must be re¿ tted.
Using the dust protection caps:
The dust protection caps "A" have two external grooves "B". The dust protection caps must
be inserted in the female coupling in such a way that the grooves can be guided over the pins
"C". Screw in the dust protection caps to the limit stop to ¿ x in the female couplings.

CAUTION!
Depending on the size and weight of the hydraulic power unit it should be
transported to the storage location by one or more persons.
25
10. T ests
The hydraulic power units are subject to very high levels of stress. A visual inspection must
therefore be carried out after every use and at least one visual inspection must be carried
out every six months.
This reveals wear and tear in good time; punctual replacement of these wearing parts
prevents damage to the equipment. Also check regularly that all the securing screws are
tightened (if applicable, comply with prescribed tightening torques)
Every 3 years or when there might be doubts regarding the safety or reliability of the unit, an
additional function check is to be carried out (in this connection, comply with the applicable
national and international regulations with regard to the maintenance intervals of rescue
equipment). Operating time per day In the Federal Republic of Germany, regular safety
inspections according to the regulations of the Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (GUV;
connoted ‘Legal accident insurance’) are mandatory.

31
11.3.1 Replacing and cleaning the air fi lter
NOTE:
Keeping the air ¿ lter in good condition is extremely important. Penetrating
dirt leads to damage and wear in the engine in case of incorrect installation,
incorrect damage or unsuitable ¿ lter inserts.
Always keep the air ¿ lter insert clean.
Procedure:
1. Unscrew both bolts from the air ¿ lter cover and remove the cover.
2. Remove the foam air ¿ lter insert from the cover.
3. Take the paper air ¿ lter insert from the air ¿ lter housing.
4. Check both air ¿ lter inserts and replace if damaged. The paper air ¿ lter set must always
be replaced in planned intervals.
5. Clean the air ¿ lter inserts when reusing.
Paper air fi lter insert: Tap out the paper air ¿ lter insert a few times on a hard surface to
remove dirt or blow compressed air [not more than 207 kPa (2.1 kg/cm )] from the air ¿ lter
housing side through the ¿ lter insert. Never attempt to brush out dirt because it would be
pressed in by the bristles. Replace the paper air ¿ lter insert if it is exceedingly dirty.
Foam air fi lter insert: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse and let dry thoroughly . Or clean in
non-À ammable solvent and let dry. Do not introduce any oil to the foam air ¿ lter insert.
6. Wipe away dirt from the inside of the air ¿ lter housing with a damp cloth. Ensure that dirt
does not penetrate the air duct leading to the carburettor.
7. Then, re¿ t the ¿ lter.

11.3.2 Replacing, cleaning and setting the sparking plug
Procedure:
In order to delivery good performance, the sparking plug must have a correct electrode gap
and be free from deposits.
1. Detach the sparking plug connector and remove any dirt near the sparking plug.
2. Unscrew the sparking plug using a 16 mm (5/8 inch) sparking plug spanner.
3. Inspect the sparking plug. Replace the sparking plug if it is damaged, extremely dirty , if the
sealing washer is in poor condition or if the electrodes are worn.
4. Measure the electrode gap of the sparking plug with a wire feeler gauge. Correct the
electrode gap, if required, by carefully bending the side electrode. Target electrode gap:
0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 - 0.028 in)
5. Carefully screw in the sparking plug by hand in order to avoid stripping the thread.
6. Tighten the sparking plug after mounting with a 5/8-inch sparking plug spanner in order to
compress the washer.
7. A new sparking plug should be tightened by an additional 1/2 turn after mounting in order
to compress the washer.
8. A used sparking plug should be tightened by an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn after mounting
in order to compress the washer.
9. Place the sparking plug connector onto the spark plug.
NOTE:
A loose sparking plug can overheat and damage the engine.
A sparking plug that is too tight can damage the thread in the cylinder head.
