7.1.2 Support
Before you can work using the rescue ram, you must ensure adequate support: this includes
a necessary substructure. The rescue rams come equipped with a claw on the cylinder side
and on the piston side so that they can become hooked (see fi gure 4). If this support is
inadequate, such as in the case of a pushed-away front of car (see fi gure 5) or when lifting
a vehicle (see fi gure 6), additional support bearings, cylinder attachments and, if necessary,
protection using a belt, for example, are also necessary. Appropriate support bearings and
practical cylinder attachments are available from the LUKAS accessories programme.
