9.2 Preventive 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 Stress test
If there is any doubt regarding the safety or reliability of the equipment, a function and load
test must also be performed.
9.2.3Replacingthehydraulicuid
After approx. 200 deployments, but after three years at the latest, the hydraulic uid in the
entire rerailing system must be replaced.
Due to the small amount of hydraulic uid in the control desk, a uid replacement does not
need to be carried out separately here. It is sufcient to ush it with the new hydraulic uid
at the time of a uid replacement in the entire system. All valves should be actuated in the
process (if necessary, connect the supply and return lines of each valve to each other to
ush them with the new uid).
CAUTION!
During a hydraulic uid replacement, always use a suitable receptacle to collect
escaping uid and dispose of the collected uid correctly.
CAUTION!
All of the hydraulic uid in the system must be replaced if conditions of use
(ambient temperatures) vary considerably. When selecting the appropriate
hydraulic uid, please observe the “Recommended hydraulic uids” chapter.
REMARK:
Before you use couplings from a different company, you must contact LUKAS or
an authorised dealer.
CAUTION!
Since LUKAS rerailing devices are designed for top performance, only those
components in the spare parts lists of the relevant unit may be replaced.
Further components in the devices may only be replaced if:
- You have participated in appropriate LUKAS service training,
- You have the explicit permission of the LUKAS customer service (on request,
check for granting permission. Check is necessary in each individual case.)
