5.0 MAINTENANCE
The Scotchman Ironworker is an exceptionally rugged machine designed for long life with a minimum
amount of maintenance. A regular program of servicing will extend the life of the machine and prevent
costly down time.
5.1 LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: Before operating the 6509-24M, apply oil to the angle shear blades, bar shear blades
and the punch and die. Re-oil punches and dies every 5 to 10 holes and blades every 10 to 15 cuts. The
oil will allow the machine to shear, punch and strip more easily and increase tool life considerably.
(We recommend cutting oil or motor oil swabbed on with a brush or applied with a squirt can or a spray
applicator.)
5.2 ROUTINE LUBRICATION
Grease the main pins (A & B) and the punch ram (C) daily.
(SEE FIGURE 6 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.)
Grease all other fittings twice per week.
A multi-purpose, Molybdenum Disulfide (Dow Corning BR-2 or equivalent) high pressure bearing grease
is recommended.
Check the oil level in the reservoir at least once a month. It should be 1-1/2 inches below the top of the
reservoir.
Change the hydraulic oil and filter at least once a year; more often under adverse conditions.
TO CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC OIL, TURN THE MACHINE’S POWER OFF.
Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the reservoir. Allow the oil to drain.
Replace with 14 U.S. gallons (53 liters) of lightweight, non-foaming, hydraulic oil such as Mobil DTE-25,
with a minimum ISO cleanliness code of 20/18/15, or equivalent.
