Important notes
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO BE IN THE HOLD DURING HATCH COVER
OPERATIONS ! (DANGER BY OBJECTS FALLING DOWN !)
General hints
All control desks for operating the hatch covers are arranged on
weatherdeck.
The hatch covers are operated from the control desks arranged on AFT. end.
Attention:
When the covers are lowered and secured to the coaming check following
points:
− Make sure that there is no cargo or other obstructions in the path and the
stowing space of the hatch covers.
At the control desks: Check all by-pass to be closed. (See drawing no.
533-9000.)
Push the lever for cylinders to “CLOSE” seconds, and to "OPEN" and remain in
this position. Until the cog segment touch the stopper of auto-roll assembly.
Push the control valve lever for the motor which is to be operated to "OPEN"
and hold it there until the cover has been opened.
Reduce cover speed before striking stopper by gently returning control lever to
neutral position.
Lock the panel with the pin of the end stopper for open position.
The opposite panel can now be closed or operated to outer position and locked.
After opening operation, push the lever for cylinders to "CLOSE" and remain in
this position. Until the double link touch the stopper of auto-roll assembly. And
lock the locking pin of auto-roll assembly.
Push the lever for cylinders to “CLOSE” seconds, and to "OPEN" and remain in
this position. Until the cog segment touch the stopper of auto-roll assembly.
Push the control valve lever for motor, which will be operated to "CLOSE" and
hold it there until the cover is stopped gently against the cog segment .
Reduce cover speed by inching control of valve lever before coming into contact
with cog segment .
Push the lever for cylinders to "CLOSE" to roll down the cover. Until the cover
has been closed completely.
Reaching an oil temperature of 60°C the thermostat will switch off the
concerned power unit. Re-start after the oil has cooled down.
If the oil temperature is below 5°C the thermostat will switch off.
A level switch switches off the concerned power unit when the oil level is too
low.
An adjustable timer will switch off the concerned power unit after 30 running
minutes.
A pressure switch will be alarmed if the return line filter is contaminated.
During operating, the covers will stop immediately in each position when putting
the hand lever of the related control valve back into neutral position.
If a pipe line between a control desk and a power unit should burst or if a power
unit should fail, all motion of the concerned hatch covers will be stopped
immediately.
If a pipe line between a control desk and cylinders should burst, the unsecured,
concerned folding pair will run downwards. However, speed is limited by flow
control valves incorporated into the cylinders and is about 1,3 of the normal
speed.

5.1.2 Auto cleats
Check periodically that all hooks are firmly engaged on the weatherdeck hatch
covers.
The elastic washer must be replaced when the rubber has lost its elasticity.
Replacing is recommended every second year.
Do not paint rubber seals, piston rods of hydraulic cylinders and flexible hoses.
− Do not damage rubber seals by heating. Dismount them when nearby areas
are being repaired.
− When large-scale repairs of the equipment are undertaken, call for a TTS
expert in order to avoid deformations and twisting by wrong welding
sequences which could avoid water-tightness.
− Perform gluing as described in the enclosed instructions (see page 5.5 ff.)
− When replacing the complete rubber sealing, the corner pieces must be
glued first, then the straight line rubber strips –with an over-length of
abt. 2-3 mm per meter- have to be installed.
− For connection of moulded pieces and/or straight strips the ends have to be
cut accurately and in right or 45° angle.
5.1.6 Mounting instructions for TTS seals
5.1.6.1 The TTS SQUARE seal shall be glued in between the seal retainers
(L100x63x8).
Adhesive to be used: HAWE “Super S” or an equivalent glue approved by TTS.
Follow manufacturer’s instruction for use of the adhesive (JY-2).
5.1.6.3 Cut the rubber profile accurately and in correct right angle in order to fit each
other. Prepare the straight strips by cutting with overlength (max. 2-3 mm per
meter) so that they will be slightly compressed longitudinally when inserted.
The rubber seal shall not be stretched during the installation.
5.1.6.4 The rubber seal has to be dry and free of dirt and grease. It is recommended to
roughen the contact surfaces and wipe them with thinner shortly before gluing.
Use therefore clean cotton waste only.
5.1.6.6 First of all insert the corner pieces (use screw clamps, if necessary). Spread
rear of the rubber corners with glue by using a paintbrush. The glue is ready for
application when the surface still feels sticky but shows no threads by touching
with a finger. Fit the corner pieces into the retainers and hit them with a rubber
hammer.
Notice: It is advisable to make a test before beginning to work as the drying of glue
depends on the ambient temperature and weather conditions.
5.1.6.7 For gluing rubber to rubber (end pieces, corners and hoses) use the special
glue LOCTITE 495. Pay attention to the working instructions of the
manufacturer of the glue.
5.1.6.8 The three surfaces of the retainer channel for the straight rubber seal
(“L100x63x8”) must be painted with glue quite thickly by using a paintbrush.
5.1.6.9 Immediately after this, and before the glue has become dry, the contact
surfaces of the straight seal strips must also be painted with glue. Then press
the rubber seal into the angle bar-100x63x8. During the inserting the wet glue
shall fulfil the function as some kind of lubricant and it will act as sealing
material between steel and rubber.
5.1.6.10 Connect both profile ends (corner and straight line) with elastic rubber cement
(Loctite 495), press them together and make sure that the joint surfaces have
correct contact. If necessary, bend inwards the seal bars by hammering.
5.1.6.11 After finished installation all joining edges and gluing seams must be sealed
with elastic rubber cement (Loctite 495). Unevennesses have to be smoothed
and planned.
Caution:
The adhesive is resistant against water and high temperatures, flexible and
qualified for high mechanical stress.
Before using, stir up well. The surfaces have to be BVolutely clean and dry. For
better adhesive power, smooth surfaces shall be roughed and the work should
be done at room temperature.
Both surfaces are to coat with a thin film of the “JY-2” glue. After about 8-20
minutes, as a normal time for ventilation, press together both parts.
Thickness of coating, time for ventilation, a second coating perhaps or one-time
wet-gluing depends on materials, expected mechanical stress and other
influences of the environment, for example temperature, dampness, working
rate and others.
We will not be liable for damages caused by disregarding of our directions for
use.
Safety advises
Adhesive inflammable ! Keep box well closed!
Storage must be ventilated ! Avoid flames and sparks!
Cut off electrical devices ! Don’t let reach into
Smoking prohibited ! sewerage!
Take care of good ventilation of the room during and after working !
Take steps to avoid electrostatic charges !
5.2 Maintenance of hydraulics
As pumps are working in hydraulic fluid, maintenance is limited to keep the
hydraulic fluid perfectly clean. Cleanliness is achieved by the return line filter
which requires a systematic maintenance. After repairs of pipe lines, especially
during the first operation hours, keep an eye on the filter unit, because small
particles may flow in the circuit. Therefore, clean the filter at the beginning
several times.
5.2.1 Warnings
5.2.2 Regularly
Before starting the power unit, check the oil level in the tank. Refill if necessary,
but only with closed holds.
Check the condition of the return line filter.
Check the function of the “Emergency stop” switches.
Check pipe-lines, flexible hoses and units for corrosion, wear, leaks etc.
Consult your oil company’s representative and arrange for a check on the
condition of the oil. If necessary, change the oil of the system. Take care of the
regular removal of the wear up oil.
Hydraulic fluid requires a certain consistence of oil. To comply with this the
hydraulic system has been filled with a sufficient oil type. When refilling, use the
same oil or an approved equivalent (see “Characteristics for hydraulic oil” page
below)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
5.2.6.1 Preparation
− Control quantity and type of the new oil (see chapter 1).
− Keep ready a new filter insert and a new copper sealing ring for the drain
plug.
− To BVorb oil running over keep ready suitable means such as sawdust or
granules.
− Close the ball cock in the P-line and detach the pressure hose. Insert the
pressure hose into a suitable container and switch on pump no. 1 or 2 to
suck off the worn up oil until the level switch will stop the pump.
− Screw out the drain plug at the bottom of the hydraulic power station to
remove the remaining oil.
− Attach the new copper sealing ring to the drain plug and screw it into the
tank. Attach the pressure hose, too.
Note: When exchanging by reason of worn up oil the remaining small quantity of oil in
the system (cylinders and pipes) shall not be removed. To bleed the whole
system thereafter could take a long time caused by remaining air in small holes
inside the cylinders and control desks.
5.2.6.3 Bleeding of the hydraulic pump
At first initial operation, and after every oil exchange, the pumps should be bled
in order to avoid suction problems or the penetration of air into the consuming
elements. Act as follows:
− Before filling the tank with hydraulic oil unscrew the vent screw of the pump
completely.
− Fill up the tank to the upper mark with new hydraulic oil. It may be efficient to
wait a few minutes until the oil has displaced the air inside the pump.
− Screw in and tighten the vent screw and switch on and off the pump for
several times.
− Allow the pump to run in an unpressurized cycle for a short period of time
(3-5 minutes) by acting as follows:
∗ Reset the pressure relief valve at the power unit to a pressure value of
zero by screwing it left.
− Start the pump. The pressure gauge shall show no pressure. Close slowly
the by-pass valve (if existent).
− Set the system pressure slowly up to 350 bar by screwing the pressure relief
valve right. In case the pressure gauge will show no pressure, open the by-
pass valve slowly, reset the relief valve to zero, stop the pump and bleed it
again by unscrewing the vent screw.
− Set the system pressure slowly up to the nominal value by screwing the
pressure relief valve right.
− Secure/lock the relief valve and check pressure value again!
− Open the ball cock in the pressure line P. Keep covers closed and check oil
level again. Refill if necessary. Now, the power station is ready for use again.
In this case the whole oil has to be exchanged. Empty the tank as described at
paragraph 5.2.6.2, open the tank by dismounting the cover plate and clean the
empty tank with a no-fluffing cleaning-rag. Thereafter act as described at
paragraph 5.2.6.3 and 5.2.6.4.
The remaining oil in the system (cylinders and pipes) should be removed by
scavenge with new oil as follows:
− Switch on one pump. The contaminated oil will be pushed through the pipes
into the barrel.
− Operating the hand levers situated at the control desks (opening and closing
of all hatch covers) the contaminated oil resting in the cylinders and their
pipes/hoses will be removed.
The equipment has been completed with a number of spare parts according to
the recommendations of the classification society. These parts must be
available on board at every time (see the following pages “Spare Part List”).
Additionally, we recommend to establish a stock of other types of spare parts
available on board, which is a must if you wish to keep your ship in a proper
service condition and to be prepared against hazards.
