Schäffer 220 S 1992 Parts Catalog – No Aftermarket Guesswork

I have had it up to here with parts catalogs that come from a photocopy of a photocopy of a third-generation fax. You try to order a Schäffer 220 S steering cylinder rebuild kit and the part number doesn’t match anything the dealer has. That is time burned, and on a loader that old you are already fighting rust and metric/SAE hybrids. This is the real deal: Schäffer 220 S (1992) Parts Catalog, original factory print from Maschinenfabrik Schäffer GmbH & Co., 22 pages, dated May 1992. No aftermarket re-shuffle. No translated-from-German-through-Polish errors.

You get the same exploded-view drawings and part number tables that a Schäffer dealer had on his counter in ’92. Each page lists the Ref. No., Bestell-Nr. (order number), the German description, and the required quantity per assembly. The manual covers the chassis frame, loader linkage, hydraulic cylinders, and the electrical harness layout with wire colors. If you are rebuilding a 220 S or chasing a hydraulic leak, this is the anchor document.

Parts Catalog Content: What the 22 Pages Cover

Let me walk you through the bookmarks you are getting because owning a catalog is useless if you don’t know what section to turn to. The manual opens with the machine identification page—you need your Fahrgestell-Nummer (chassis number) to order parts. Then straight into the hydraulic schematic on page 2: steering cylinder circuit, implement cylinder circuit, and the MPV (multi-port valve) with the 175 bar relief setting for the steering and 50 bar for the tool circuit. That is the kind of reference you tape to the inside of your toolbox lid because you will need it when you are bleeding air out of the system and wondering which port is supply versus return.

Page 17 shows the hydraulic plan with the Lenkaggregat, Zahnradpumpe, and Schwimmzylinder identified. Page 18 is the electrical system diagram—S3 start-delay switch, S1 white wire to the kill switch, R1 flasher relay with red and gray leads, and the exact wire color code for the temperature switch (FB) and pressure switch (S5i). After that, the real reason you bought this: the exploded parts lists.

Exploded Diagrams and Reference Numbers

Starting at page 19, you get the frame section: ref. 330.100.068 Vorderwagen-Rahmen (front frame), 330.011.087 Hinterwagen-Rahmen (rear frame), 330.100.065 articulation joint, 330.100.031 washer, 529.104.006 crown nut, and the 2x 330.100.005 bushings that always wear out. Quantities are listed per unit. Page 20 covers the loader linkage and attachment bracket: 220.100.030 Ladeschwinge (loader linkage assembly), 330.100.062 Gegenhalter (backstop), 330.100.033 Pleuel (connecting link), HL 4.019 lever and catch, 12x 420.105.001 grease fittings. If you have ever tried to guess which bushing goes where, you know how much time a correct exploded view saves. This catalog gives you the exact number of each part per assembly so you order once.

Audience: Who Needs This Manual

You own a Schäffer 220 S loader—maybe on a small farm, maybe at a construction rental yard, maybe a guy who bought it at auction because it was cheap. You are not a dealership. You are the person who reads the hydraulic diagram, orders the correct seal kit, and does the cylinder rebuild in your own shop. This catalog also serves the equipment restorer who wants to bring a 220 S back to factory spec. If you are a parts counter guy getting a phone call from someone who reads “Schäffer 220 S, chassis number unknown,” hand them this catalog so they can identify every part over the phone.

Source Validity: OEM Factory Print vs. Aftermarket Collections

This is not a scanned-from-someone-else’s-copy that lost the foldout pages. The original file name is Schaffer_220_S_1992_Parts_Catalog_de-36814014858.pdf—one generation, direct from the factory archives. The front matter carries the Ennwitte address and the 1992 date code. I see too many online sellers selling a re-labeled generic parts book that says “fits all models.” That gets you a return shipment and a core charge you cannot recover. Aftermarket catalogs often combine multiple model years into one chart and leave out the critical Hinweise (notes) that tell you which bolts get which torque sequence. This manual has no such compromise. It is the actual 1992 edition.

Does this manual include torque values or service procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog only—exploded views and reference numbers. Torque specs belong in the service repair manual. Order that separately if you need assembly data.

What language is the manual printed in?

Primary language is German. Part descriptions have English headers (DESCRIPTION / BEZEICHNUNG) but the content is German. If you cannot read German, you can still match reference numbers to part diagrams. The numerical system is universal.

Hydraulic and Electrical Diagrams Included

Page 2 of the catalog reproduces the full hydraulic schematic for the 220 S: steering cylinder (Lenkcyl.), steering unit at 175 bar, tool cylinder (Werkzeug-Zyl.) regulated to 50 bar, and the Schwimmzylinder (float cylinder) connected to the MPV. The exact port labeling and relief valve settings are right there. Page 3 holds the wiring diagram for the electrical system—color-coded and labeled with terminal numbers: S3 start-delay switch, S2 light switch, S3 turn signal switch, S4 hazard switch/relay, R1 flasher relay, and the A kill switch with its mass line (Masse schwarz). If you are rewiring a cab or chasing a no-start condition, those two pages alone are worth the price of the access.

The Automotive Industry Overview offers context on how European manufacturers structured their parts numbering in the 1990s—useful background if you are cross-referencing part types across multiple OEMs. For broader equipment reference, see the Automotive Industry Overview on Wikipedia.
