2. Checking the pre-tension
⇒ Clean the thread of the screw and the seating surface. Subsequently apply
MOLYKOTE to the thread.
⇒ Place pre-tensioning jack 94145 on the screw to be checked, and screw it
completely down with vent screw 8 open until there is only little or no clearance
at ’x’ (Fig. ’B’).
⇒ Connect pre-tensioning jack 94145 with HP oil pump 94931 as shown in Fig.
’B’, whereby one side of hydr. distributor 94934A must be plugged with plug
piece 94934E.
⇒ Close relief valve ’EV’ at the HP oil pump, then actuate the HP oil pump until
the oil comes out without bubbles from the opened vent screw 8.
⇒ Close vent screw 8, tension the screw with 150 bar and keep the pressure
constant.
Check with feeler gauge through slot ’KO’ if there is any clearance between nut 4
and its seating.
⇒ If there is no clearance, this means that the tensioning condition of the screw
has remained unchanged since the last check. The pressure can be released
to zero and the pre-tensioning jack removed.
Should a clearance be found, nut 4 must be tightened down onto its seating
with rod 94005D while the pressure is kept at 150 bar (check with feeler
gauge). Subsequently lower the pressure to zero.

3. Loosening the screws
If the screws must be loosened, first screw on pre-tensioning jack 94145 complete-
ly, then loosen it by about ½ turn. Afterwards tension the screw with 170 bar, and
turn nut 4 back by one turn. Attention should be paid to ensure that pin 9 always
protrudes slightly compared with piston 6 on the pre-tensioning jack!
