3. Proper use
The LUKAS hose reels are used for mounting extension hose pairs between the hydraulic
supply and the working equipment. The extension hose pairs are connected to the hose reel
and coiled onto the drum.
The use of a LUKAS hose reel with extension hose pairs enables a greater distance
between the hydraulic supply and the equipment. This allows the hydraulic unit to stay on
the emergency vehicle, for example.
When working with the units described here, make sure that participating and non-participating
persons in the vicinity of the work and during the lifting procedure are not endangered by the
connected hoses and equipment.
CAUTION!
Because of possible loss of pressure, only extension hose lines having a maximum
length of 20 m may be connected on the equipment side and on the device side
the length may also be no more than max. 30 m!
The hose reels can also be used under water at a depth of up to 40 m (131 ft).
CAUTION!
In this case, you must strictly observe any leaks in order to avoid threats to the
environment.
Spare parts and accessories for the rescue tool can be ordered from your authorized
LUKAS-dealer!

4. Description
4.1 General information
Basically, a reel comprises a carrier, shaft and hose drum.
We distinguish between:
Single hose reel:- Connection of a extension hose pair
- Delivery with carrier frame
- Parking brake, fi x mounted, fl ap-in crank handle
Double hose reel:- Connection of two extension hose pairs
- Delivery with carrier frame
- Parking brake
Coiling / unrolling of all models is being carried out by a hand crank, which can either be
plugged in or is fi x connected with the hose drum.
Connection to the hydraulic pump or control unit is carried out by connecting the connection
hose pairs with the pump or control unit using mono-couplings.
4.2 Single hose reel
The single hose reel comprises one carrier frame and one shaft with hose drum. One
extension hose pair can be connected to the equipment side of the reel.
Connection to the hydraulic pump or control unit is made by connecting the “short” supply
hose pair to the pump or the control unit via mono-coupling.
The double hose reel comprises one carrier frame and one shaft with two hose drums. Two
extension hose pairs or extension hoses can be connected to the reel on the device side
(one extension hose per drum). Depending on the connector version, connection on the
equipment side is made by one or two short return hoses and one short extension hose
per extension hose or extension hose pair. These connecting hoses are attached to the
hydraulic pump or a control unit by means of couplings. The double hose reel also has a
parking brake for simultaneously securing both hose drums in their positions.
Different couplings than mono-couplings, like quick-disconnect-couplings, are
possible when using available adapter kits. Also the direct screw connection
into the pump connection block of the power unit is possible. The adapter kits
can be ordered via the LUKAS optional equipment.
WARNING / CAUTION!
Before connecting the equipment you have to pay attention that all
used components are suitable to the max operation pressure of
the pump unit! In the case of doubt you have to inquire LUKAS
directly!
5.1 On the side of the hydraulic unit
There are “short” hoses on the side of the unit: they are connected to the pump unit.
5.2 On the side of the equipment
The extension hose pairs are on the side of the equipment: they are connected with the
equipment by means of couplings. The combination female and male coupling ensures an
unmistakable connection.
11
5.3 Coupling the mono-couplings
The equipment is connected to the hydraulic pump via mono-coupling halves (male and
female).
dust protection caps
mono-coupling
halve (male)
Before coupling, remove dust protection caps, then connect male and female, and turn
the locking sleeve of the female to direction „1“ until the locking sleeve locks into place.
The connection is now in place and secure. Decoupling is by turning the locking sleeve to
direction „0“.
The equipment can also be coupled under pressure provided the connected equipment is
not activated.
REMARK:
We recommend coupling the coupling halves in a pressureless state, when
working in areas with low ambient temperature otherwise decoupling could need
very high expenditure of force.
To protect them from dust, the accompanying dust protection caps must be put back on.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The mono-couplings may not be screwed off the hose assemblies and / or the
hose assemblies be confused!

6. Operation
6.1 Safety notes
World-wide, safety guidelines pertaining to the specifi c country are to be observed and
complied with. In the Federal Republic of Germany, regular safety inspections according
to the regulations of the Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (GUV; connoted ‘Legal accident
insurance’) are mandatory.
The following are to be worn when working with the hose reel:
- protective clothing,
- safety helmet with visor or protective goggles,
- protective gloves
- and, if necessary, ear protection
WARNING / CAUTION!
When working with the hose reel, those not involved must maintain an appropriate,
suitable safe distance, so that they are not endangered in the event of failure
of the hose.
13
6.2 Start-up
Before start-up and following repairs, the hose assemblies of the hose reel must be
deaerated:
- Connect the hose reel to the hydraulic pump (see chapter “Connecting the equipment”).
CAUTION!
The working equipment has to be disconnected!
- Switch on the hydraulic unit and pressurize the supply hoses for some time.
- Switch the hydraulic unit to depressurized circulation or switch it. If necessary, you have
to top-up hydraulic fl uid.
After the deaeration the working equipment can be reconnected to the hose reel.
REMARK when using mono-couplings:
We recommend coupling the coupling halves in a pressureless state, when
working in areas with low ambient temperature otherwise decoupling could
need very high expenditure of force.
6.3 Parking brake
6.3.1 Parking break DHR
The parking brake prevents the extension hose pairs from unrolling during transport!

6.4 Unrolling
To unroll, pull at the extension hoses until the required length has been unrolled from the
hose reel.
CAUTION!
For unrolling the hose from the hose reels, the parking brake must fi rst of all be
released. This prevents damage to the reel and the hoses.
6.5 Coiling
REMARK:
We recommend the use of the hand crank for coiling the hose!
- First of all, put the hand crank onto the shaft of the hose reel.
- Release the parking break.
- Aligning the hose simplifi es the coiling of the hose.
- Now, you can turn the hand crank to coil the extension hose pair.
Ensure that the extension hose pair is always properly coiled on the hose drum.
This is usually guaranteed by guiding the extension hose pair with your hand during the
coiling process.
- Finally, you must activate the parking brake of the hose reels again and remove the crank
handle.
- In the case of the single hose reel the crank should be fl apped in again for safety reasons.

9.2 Preventative service
9.2.1 Care regulations
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.
9.2.2 Function and load test
If there is any doubt regarding the safety or reliability of the equipment, a function and load
test must also be performed.
9.2.3 Changing the hydraulic fl uid
- The hydraulic fl uid must be changed after after three years at the latest.
- It must always be changed whenever the hydraulic fl uid for the accompanying pump
(motor / hand pump) is changed. This is to prevent the fresh hydraulic fl uid from becoming
contaminated by the used fl uid from the rescue equipment.
Procedure:
1. Change the hydraulic fl uid of the pump. Please observe the separate operating instructions
for the pump being used!
2. Screw off the return hose on the pump:
- remove the cover from the mono-coupling (male).
