2. Product safety
LUKAS products are developed and manufactured to ensure the best performance and
quality when used as intended.
The safety of the operator is the most important consideration in product design. Furthermore,
the operating instructions are intended to help in using LUKAS products 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 must only be operated by persons with appropriate training in the safety
aspects of such equipment – otherwise, there is a danger of injury.
We would like to point out to all users that they should read carefully the operating instructions
and the instructions contained therein before they use the equipment, and that they should
carefully follow such.
We further recommend you have a qualifi ed trainer show you how to use the product.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The operating instructions for the hoses, the accessories and the connected
devices must also be heeded!
Even if you have already received instruction on how to use the equipment, you should still
read through the following safety instructions again.
WARNING / CAUTION!
Ensure that the accessories and connected equipment are suitable for the
maximum operating pressure!
Please ensure that no body
parts or clothing get stuck
between the visibly moving
parts.
Wear protective clothing,
a safety helmet with visor,
protective footwear and gloves
Immediately report any
changes that occur (including
changes in operating
behaviour) to the appropriate
persons/departments! If
necessary, the equipment is to
be shut down immediately and
secured!
Working under suspended
loads is not permitted where
such loads are being lifted
only using hydraulic devices.
If working under suspended
loads is unavoidable, suitable
mechanical props are also
required.
Inspect the device before and
after use for visible defects or
damage.
Check all lines, hoses and
screwed connections for leaks
and externally visible damage,
and repair immediately!
Escaping hydraulic fl uid can
cause injuries and fi res.

In the event of malfunctions,
immediately deactivate the
equipment and secure it.
Repair the fault immediately.
Do not carry out any changes
(additions or conversions)
to the equipment without
obtaining the approval of
LUKAS beforehand.
Observe all safety and danger
information on the device and
in the operating instructions.
Any mode of operation which
compromises the safety and/
or stability of the device is
forbidden!
Safety devices must never be
disabled!
Make sure before switching
on/starting up the device and
during its operation, that this
will put no one in danger.
When working close to live
components and cables,
suitable measures must be
taken to avoid current transfers
or high-voltage transfers to the
equipment.
All safety and danger
information on the device must
always be complete and in a
legible condition.
Observe all intervals for
recurring tests and/or
inspections that are prescribed
or stated in the operating
instructions.
The maximum permitted
operating pressure noted on
the equipment must not be
exceeded.
Only genuine LUKAS
accessories and spare parts
are to be used for repairs.
Please ensure that, when
working with this equipment or
during transportation of such,
you don’t get caught up in the
looped hoses and trip.
The build-up of static charge
and therefore possible
sparking must be avoided
when handling the device.

The equipment is fi lled with
hydraulic fl uid. This hydraulic
fl uid can be detrimental to
health if it is swallowed or
its vapour is inhaled. Direct
contact with the skin must be
avoided for the same reason.
Also, when handling hydraulic
fl uid, note that it can negatively
affect biological systems.
When working with or storing
the equipment, ensure that the
function and the safety of the
equipment are not impaired
by the effects of severe
external temperatures or that
the equipment is damaged in
any way. Please note that the
equipment can also heat up
over a long period of use.
Make sure there is adequate
lighting while working.
Always keep these operating
instructions easily accessible
at the place of operation.
In addition to the safety instructions in this operating manual, all generally applicable,
statutory and otherwise binding national and international regulations for accident prevention
must be heeded and disseminated!
Before transporting the
equipment, always ensure that
the accessories are positioned
in such a way that they cannot
cause an accident.
Dispose properly of all
disassembled parts, oil and
left-over fl uid, as well as
packaging materials.
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
The device is intended exclusively for the purpose stated in the operating instructions
(see chapter "Proper Use"). Any other use is not considered to be as intended. The
manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any damage resulting from use not as intended. The
user bears sole responsibility for such use.
Proper use includes observance of the operating instructions and compliance with the
inspection and maintenance conditions.
Never work in a fatigued or intoxicated state!
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
If you do injure yourself on the hydraulic installation, however, clean the wound
immediately and consult a doctor for treatment!
If you get hydraulic fl uid in your eye, fl ush it out immediately several times with
clear, clean water and consult a doctor!
Also, if you swallow hydraulic fl uid you should consult a doctor!

3. Proper use
The LUKAS rerailing system, consisting of actuation, control, traversing and lifting
components, were developed specially for rerailing, erection and maintenance work on railbound vehicle. All or just individual components of the system are used depending on the
requirements.
The accessories necessary for each particular application must be used during each
deployment.
You can obtain accessories and replacement parts for the hydraulic power pack from your
authorised LUKAS dealer!
When carrying out any work, use the control tables described here and the connected hoses
and equipment to ensure that you yourself, the involved and uninvolved persons in the
proximity of the work and objects in closer proximity during the lifting and traversing process
are not endangered.
Notes concerning additional measures and the use of additional ancillary equipment and
tools for a derailing in the rail network:
All necessary measures concerning vehicle safety and the rerailing concept
are stipulated, in principle, by the vehicle manufacturer or operator.
Y ou must observe the permissible lifting stroke values and the lifting angles stipulated by the
manufacturer's data.
Once the specifi c securing safety measures have been completed, the manager of the
assisting train will stipulate which working steps and which products are to be used.
The selection of the lifting points, stipulated by the manufacturer, depends on their
accessibility and the associated headroom. In practice, we lift, pack up, move and put down
(often on alternate sides).
The "System Overview" operating instructions describes handling the components of the
LUKAS traversing system for rerailing technology. In addition, you must observe the operating instructions of the individual components, as listed under heading 4.1. All the warning
and safety instructions in these instructions must also be observed.
This system overview does not make any claims regarding completeness, all the possible
dangerous events and accident scenarios in the rail network. In your actions you should
act responsibly in the spirit of safety at work.
For the products, ancillaries and any other technical systems that are used in addition to
the components of the LUKAS rerailing technology, their manufacturers are responsible
and any operating instructions provided for them by third parties must also be observed.
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
The safety instructions in this operating instruction manual concerning the site of
erection and type of erection must always be observed!
The LUKAS rerailing system is not explosion protected!
ATTENTION!
Watch out vigilantly for any leaks in order to avoid threats to the environment.
