Failure of any element of the daily/shift change visual obser-
vation will require maintenance of the affected Ironworker or
accessory componentry. Please follow the following mainte-
nance procedures.
General Maintenance - Daily
Lockout power to machine.
Clean your Ironworker daily with a brush and soft cloth lighly
moistened with a mild, water based detergent solution. Remove
lings, dirt, dust and grime and excess lubricant from working
surfaces. All clean surfaces must be fully dry before powering up
machine.
Grease all machine guides and pins supplied with a GREASE
DAILY designation with NLGI Grade 2 (NLGI Service GC-LB) or
equivalent premium, heavy duty lubricant.
General Maintenance - Weekly
Lockout power to machine.
Check blade tolerance. Maintain .010 clearance between xed and
movable shear blades on 40, 50, 55, 60 and 65 Ton models at all
times. Maintain .015 clearance between xed and movable shear
blades on 75, 100, 100D, 120 Ton. 110 Elite and 110/65 DO Elite
models at all times. Insert a feeler gauge between xed and mov-
able blades to verify proper blade clearance and shear tolerance.
Adjust tolerance of shear blades by relieving the locking nuts that
secure the gib-pins to the Ironworker frame. Once loose, rotate gib-
pins to push the operating center against the frame. Gap the angle
and bar shear blades with the speci ed clearance and tighten the
gib-pin lock nuts. Failure to maintain proper clearance will result in
lower quality cuts, damage to blade, blade pockets and the poten-
tial to damage the Ironworker frame.
General Maintenance - Monthly
Lockout power to machine.
Check gib-pins for lubrication and snugness to the operating cen-
ter. Tighten gib-pins and locking nuts to maintain blade clearance
as indicated above. Gib-pins are wearing parts. Order replacement
gib-pins through your Edwards Distributor or through Edwards Mfg.
Co.
Check the ISO Viscosity 46 hydraulic uid level monthly. Maintain
the correct volume of hydraulic uid in the reservoir as indicated.
Contaminated uid will compromise your cutting operation.
General Maintenance - First 30 Hours
Lockout power to machine.
Replace the oil lter on your Ironworker after your rst 30 hours of
use. External oil lters are available through your Edwards Distribu-
tor or Edwards Manufacturing.
When working on the hydraulic power plant use plugs to cap hose
ends during maintenance procedures to minimize uid loss. Clean
up spills near the machinery to reduce the likelihood of slips, trips
and falls.
General Maintenance - Every 1000 Hours
Lockout power to machine.
Replace the oil lter on your Ironworker after your rst 1000 hours
of use. External oil lters are available through your Edwards Dis-
tributor or Edwards Manufacturing.
When working on the hydraulic power plant use plugs to cap hose
ends during maintenance procedures to minimize uid loss. Clean
up spills near the machinery to reduce the likelihood of slips, trips
and falls.
General Maintenance - Every 5000 Hours
Lockout power to machine.
Drain used hydraulic uid, dispose of according to local or jurisdic-
tional guidelines and replace with ISO Viscosity 46 hydraulic uid
to the volume speci ed on the hydraulic uid reservoir.
