SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always
comply with the safety precautions given in this manual,
and on the stickers and tags attached to or on the tool
and hose(s).
These safety precautions are for your safety. Review
them carefully before operating the tool or performing
any maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel may specify additional precautions for your work area to comply with company policies
and local safety regulations. Enter any added precautions in the space provided in this manual.
The RV06 Rocker Valve will provide safe, dependable
service if operated in accordance with the instructions
given in this manual. Read and understand the manual any decals, labels, or tags attached to the tool and
hose(s). Failure to do so can cause serious personal injury or damage to the equipment.
• Operator must start in a work area without bystand-
ers. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited
work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to en-
sure safe operation of the tool.
• Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or
under the supervision of the instructor.
• Always wear personal protection equipment (PPE)
such as goggles, safety shoes, head, eye, breathing, and ear protection when operating the tool. Use
gloves and aprons when necessary.
• All ttings, connectors, quick couplers, and hoses
used in the high pressure circuit must be capable of
10,000 psi/690 bar operation.
• All ttings, connectors, quick couplers, and hoses
must be leak-tight and free of cracks, dents and
other damage.
• Do not operate the tool if it is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or incompletely assembled.
• Use only hydraulic hoses labeled and certied non-
conductive when using the rocker valve/intensier
on or near electric lines.
• Do not use tightly coiled or twisted hoses.
• Hoses should not be kinked, cut, swollen or heavily
abraded at any point along their entire length.
• Damaged ttings, connectors, quick couplers, and
hoses may fail at or below their rated working pressure, resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not attempt to locate hydraulic leaks by feel-
ing around hoses and ttings with bare hands OR
gloved hands. Pin-hole leaks can penetrate the skin
(oil injection). To inspect for leaks, de-pressurize
the system (rocker valve, intensied, and power
source), clean around the suspected area, pressurize the system and visually inspect for leaks. If
possible, the above procedure should be performed
behind some type of shield (Lexan®).
• Do not operate the tool at uid temperatures above
140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher temperatures can
cause higher than normal temperatures at the tool,
which can result in operator discomfort.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all
tool maintenance, repair, and service must be performed by properly trained personnel.

OPERATION
PREOPERATION PROCEDURES
CONNECT HOSES
1. If the RV06 is to be used on or near electrical lines,
both of the hoses used to connect the RV06 to the
intensier must be labeled and certied non-conductive (see Hose Recommendations). Both pressure and return hoses must be rated for a minimum
working pressure of 10,000 psi/690 bar.
2. Make certain that all ttings, connectors, and quick
couplers used to make connections with the RV06
and the intensier are rated for 10,000 psi/690 bar.
3. It is a good practice to connect return hoses rst and
disconnect them last to minimize or avoid trapped
pressure within the tool or hoses.
4. Wipe all hoses and couplers with a clean, lint-free
cloth before making connections.
5. Connect the hoses on the RV06 to the high-pres-
sure outlet and return port of the intensier.
6. Observe the marking on the end of the RV06 and
the intensier: P is the pressure inlet port of the
RV06 and should be connected to the P (pressure
outlet) port of the intensier. The T (tank or return)
port of the RV06 should be connected to the T port
of the intensier.
7. Tighten all connections securely.
CONNECTING A TOOL TO THE RV06
The RV06 can be used to control the actuation of both
single and double-acting compression and crimping
tools, cutters, high-pressure lifting devices and rebar
benders. Tool connection to the RV06 can be accomplished in three ways:
1. A combination of high-pressure (10,000 psi/690 bar)
hose and couplers.
2. High-pressure (10,000 psi/690 bar) couplings only.
NOTE:
In order to use couplings only, it is necessary that
the spacing of the pressure and return ports of a
double-acting tool align exactly with the pressure
and return ports of the RV06.
3. High-pressure (10,000 psi/690 bar) hose only.
The RV06 is ported at both ends with a 1/4 in. female
NPT ports. When using Teon® tape as a sealant be
careful not to allow the tape to enter the intensier,
RV06, or tools connected to the RV06. Contamina-
tion may disable the intensier, RV06, or the tool.
CONNECTING A DOUBLE-ACTING TOOL
A double-acting tool is any tool using hydraulic power
for both the advance and retract modes. Connect the
advance port of the tool to the advance port (marked A)
of the RV06. Connect the retract port of the tool to the
retract port (marked B) of the RV06.
Figure 2. Connecting the RV06 to a Double-Acting Tool
A single-acting tool is any tool using hydraulic power for
the advance mode and a spring for the retract modes.
Single-acting tools use a single connection to the RV06.
Single-acting tools connect to the RV06 in a way similar
to double-acting tools. Only the advance port (marked A)
of the RV06 is used to connect to the tool. The return
port (marked B) is plugged with a 1/4 in. male NPT plug.

OPERATION
OPERATING PROCEDURES
• Observe all safety precautions given in this manual.
• Refer to the applicable manual for the tool connect-
ed to the RV06.
• Activate the parent circuit to provide power to the in-
tensier. Pressure will now be available at the pres-
sure port of the RV06.
• To advance the ram of the connected tool, press the
forward end of the rocker arm.
• When the crimp or cut is complete, release the rocker arm and the RV06 will go to a “neutral” or “hold”
position. The tool ram will remain stationary.
• To retract the tool ram, press the rear of the rocker
arm. If the RV06 is connected to a double-acting
tool, the ram will retract under power. If the tool is
single-acting, the ram will retract somewhat more
slowly due to its spring return.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the RV06 is to be used during cold weather, preheat
the hydraulic uid at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended uids, uid temperature should
be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or RV06 can result
from use with uid that is too viscous or thick.
RV06 User Manual ◄ 11
NOTICE
TOOL PROTECTION & CARE
In addition to the Safety Precautions found in
this manual, observe the following for equipment
protection and care.
• Make sure all critical tool markings, such as labels
and warning decals, are securely in place and legible. Replace any that are damaged or missing.
• The rated working pressure of the hoses must be
equal to (or greater than) the relief-valve setting on
the hydraulic system.
• Always store an idle tool in a clean dry space, safe
from damage or pilferage.
• Operate the tool within its rated capacity.
• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was
not designed.
• Never connect or disconnect couplers or port connections with hydraulic pressure in the hose.
• Make sure the compression tool, cutter or lifting device attached to the rocker valve is capable of operation at 10,000 psi/690 bar.
• If the operating pressure of the compression tool,
cutter or lifting device attached to the rocker valve is
below 10,000 psi/690 bar, DO NOT USE IT.
• The intensier used to power the rocker valve can
usually be adjusted for lower operating pressures.
This work should only be performed by a qualied
hydraulic technician.
• Always replace hoses, couplings, and other parts
with replacement parts recommended by Stanley
Hydraulic Tools. The hydraulic hoses to the rocker
valve must have a minimum working pressure of
10,000 psi/690 bar.
• All hoses must have oil resistant inner surface and
an abrasion resistant outer covering. Whenever
near electrical conductors, only hoses labeled and
certied as non-conductive should be used.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the
OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the tool.
Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Use only
lint-free cloths. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating of
the hydraulic system.
12 ► RV06 User Manual
TROUBLESHOOTING
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing faults in operation of the control valve, always check that the high-pressure hydraulic power
source is supplying the correct hydraulic ow and pressure to the control valve. Use a pressure gauge known to be
accurate. Check the ow with the hydraulic uid temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The RV06 Rocker Valve hydraulic system requirements are determined by the hydraulic pressure rating of the tool
being controlled by the RV06. The following general rules apply when choosing a tool to match up with the RV06.
• Whenever possible, Stanley Hydraulic Tools recommends that you use the Stanley IP16 Intensapress intensier to power the RV06 and tools attached to it.
• Make sure the compression tool, cutter, or lifting device attached to the rocker valve is capable of operation at
10,000 psi/690 bar.
• If the operating pressure of the compression tool, cutter, or lifting device attached to the rocker valve is below
10,000 psi/690 bar, DO NOT USE IT with an intensier or hydraulic supply adjusted to deliver 10,000 psi/690
bar.
• The intensier used to power the rocker valve can usually be adjusted for lower operating pressures. This work
should only be performed by a qualied hydraulic technician.
• If the intensier pressure cannot be lowered to match the tool you are using, you must either use a tool rated at
the available operating pressure or utilize an intensier with the correct output pressure.
• If you are in doubt about the tool or intensier you intend to use with the RV06, please contact Stanley Hydraulic
Tools for assistance.
