This operating manual contains basic details on operation and maintenance. Please
read all instructions, warnings and safety instructions carefully. Follow these
instructions to prevent accidents and property damage as you work. Make sure all
users have read and understood this manual.
The operator must ensure that employees fully understand the contents of this
operating manual.
The operator must ensure that the product is always in perfect operating condition.
Always install and operate the product on a secure and rigid base. Leave sufficient
room for movement by operators and maintenance personnel.
Monitor the level on the pressure gauge on the pressure generator during the entire
work process.
Replace high-pressure hoses at the latest every 5 years or after 10,000 load cycles.
This applies even if there are no defects that could affect safety.
Check the quick-release coupling nipples and coupling sleeves after 500
connections at the most and replace after a maximum 10,000 load cycles. This
applies even if there are no defects that could affect safety.
Do not make any modifications, additions or alterations to the product. This applies
especially to the installation and adjustment of safety devices, pushbuttons,
pressure limiters and other valves.
Before pressurisation, check that all connections (e.g. hose couplings) are attached
correctly and securely (see “Pressure connections”).
All attached elements must be rated for the desired operating pressure.
Make sure all persons present remain at a safe distance when the system is
pressurised. It is forbidden to stand in the path of travel of screw or clamping axes
when using hydraulic high-pressure tools.
Ensure that hydraulic fluid does not escape into the environment.
Hydraulic fluid can damage the environment.
Equipment must be disconnected from the power supply before any work
is carried out. Only qualified electricians should work on electrical
equipment.
The instructions in this operation manual must be followed for best results with one
or more SSVs.
Before each tensioning procedure, check the thread quality of the bolt and the SSV.
The SSV must not be installed if there is any damage.
The threaded bolt must be at right angles to the surface (Fig. 1). Fig. 1
The piston must not be driven above the maximum stroke limit (optical stroke
gauge). The maximum stroke is reached when the signal ring is fully visible.
Pre-tension force can be measured, for example, from the change in length of the
bolt being tensioned.
If you have any questions, please contact our Service Department.
Bolt tensioners must be replaced at the end of the load cycle, which is specified in
the technical data.
Note! When setting down the SSV a sudden load on the thread sides must be
avoided. Support for the thread sides must be used when screwing on heavy SSVs
(refer to section “Wear”).
Note! When joining special parts separate instructions may exist. These must
always be adhered to.
Note! When setting down the SSV a sudden load on the thread sides must be
avoided. Support for the thread sides must be used when screwing on heavy SSVs
(refer to section “Wear”).
Note: Back-pressure (oil block) can occur when the piston is turned back because
the oil is flowing through very small openings back into the tank).
Note: When the nut is being released, the nut or socket must never be reversed
up to the locating face of the piston or cylinder as they may jam when the
pressure is released.
Note: The sleeve will spring back into position under its own force.
Note: The nose of the coupling socket is no longer above its corresponding slot.
Use approx.100 N to make sure the connector is properly seated (100 N = approx.
10 kg).
Twist the coupling sleeve until the noses of the coupling sockets are above the
associated slots.
Pull back coupling sleeve.
Separate the socket and nipple.
Release the coupling sleeve.
Replace the dust protetion cover.
Note: The sides of the thread should not be put under load when the SSV is
fitted/bolted on. Avoid putting stress on the thread during installation. Disregard can
lead to increased wear on the thread. The guide value of 2-5 turns applies when
bolting on or removing threads with diameters >Ø140 mm.
We recommend checking the SSV thread after 100 torquings/removals. The entire
SSV should be sent for servicing if the NO-GO gauge screws in more than 2-3 turns.
Serious danger!
Damaged and/or worn threads.
10.1 General
Do not use aggressive cleaning materials. Use lint-free cloths and make sure parts
are clean before installation. Aggressive media (acids, caustic solutions, solvents,
steam) can damage components.
Tighten all bolts and threaded connections after installation.
Carefully tap the piston back into the cylinder using a plastic hammer (Warning:
Do not tip the piston during assembly).
Bring the piston to the zero position (see “Piston return stroke“).
Refit the high-pressure connector/angled connector on the SSV.
Note: Make sure no dirt gets into the SSV. It could damage the seals, support rings
and mating faces.
10.4 Bleeding
Undo the bleed screw on the SSV by turning it one turn using
a hexagonal offset screwdriver.
Connect the SSV to the pump (see “Attaching the pressure connectors“).
Operate the pump until bubble-free oil emerges from the
bleed screw.
Close the bleed screw.
1 Bleed screw
Release the hydraulic pressure. 2 Ball
Bring the piston to the zero position (see “Piston return stroke“).
Disconnect the SSV from the pump.
Note: The SSV should be bled in its highest position. If necessary, tip the SSV.
Pressure drop Check visually for leaks; replace faulty parts if necessary.
Nut cannot be The nut must have sufficient axial clearance. This is needed
turned because the thread in the area of the nut expands in
proportion to the force when this is applied to the upper end
of the bolt. The bolt undergoes a “change of pitch” which is
compensated for by the axial clearance of the nut. If this
clearance is not there, it becomes more difficult, if not
impossible, to turn the nut when the force is applied. The
pretension accuracy is greatly affected.
Damages to the thread in the nut and bolt area will reduce
the side clearance.
Maintenance must be carried out with the system unpressurised.
10.7 Transport
The eyebolts and clamping devices provided or other suitable transport equipment
must be used.
Disconnect all hoses before transport.
11. Guarantee
This product is guaranteed for a period of 6 months from the date of delivery to the
first owner.
Be sure to follow the maintenance and operating instructions in this manual.
SCHAAF GmbH & Co KG is not liable for damage or injuries arising from improper
transport or installation, inadequate maintenance, incorrect operation, wear or
unsuitable hydraulic fluid.
12. Disposal
Older equipment contains valuable recyclable materials which should be reused. All
materials and oils should be disposed of correctly.
Follow the disposal regulations for your country.

Equipment must be disconnected from the power supply before any work
is carried out. Only qualified electricians should work on electrical
equipment.
Hydraulic cylinders running on the HP may not be upheld by the pump valves alone.
Use additional non-return valves and support the weight by using appropriate
mechanical supports.
Note: Raise the handle (to the left) out of its mounting, then turn it hard against the
stop in the lever on the HP 3000-HT. Use the complete handle travel when pumping.
Slowly raise (to suck in oil) – quickly lower (to compress oil).
Note: The HP 3000-HT only increases the pressure if the tank has been bled.
Note: The HP 3000-HT is a two-stage pump that switches automatically from the 1st
to the 2nd stage at approx. 30 bar. The effort used on the hand lever in the 1st stage
is reduced significantly and immediately in the 2nd.
Note: The more oil flowing back into the tank, the slower the pressure relief valve
should be opened. Releasing the pressure quickly with a large quantity of oil present
will increase wear and tear on the components.

Note: Hoses with quick-locking coupling sleeves or nipples prevent oil leakage, even
when disconnected. Pressure build-up can occur when hose is disconnected
because of intense temperature rise of oil in the high-pressure hose. This then
makes connection impossible. The pressure can be released by undoing the
threaded connectors (see illustration).
The loosened connectors should then be retightened to 40 Nm.
Connect the high-pressure hose to the pump and the tool (see “Connecting high-pressure
hose”).
Note: The sleeve will spring back into position under its own force.
Note: The nose of the coupling socket is no longer above its corresponding slot.
