Powering with an Edwards Ironworker
Power selection controls are located adjacent to the starter box on the
feed side of the machine. Hydraulic quick connections and accessory
controls are located on the drop-off side or end cap of the machine.
With the Ironworker power off, install Shop Press hoses, power and control:
• Install the Shop Press male and female accessory hydraulic hoses
to the ironworker male and female quick connect hydraulic ttings.
Both ttings have a detent ball setting that must be aligned to cou-
ple and uncouple hoses.
• Remove the safety cap at the push button port. Attach the Shop
Press control OUT / IN, male Mil Spec control cable to the female
Mil Spec accessory control port at your Ironworkers Hydraulic Ac-
cessory package.
With all Ironworker and Press stations clear of hands, tools, tool-
ing, material or debris, power up the Ironworker by depressing the
green button on the starter box.
With the power on, your Ironworker machine will return to a neutral
position.
Turn the 3-position switch on the front of the machine case to the Ac-
cessory position. This operation disables the Ironworker and switches
control to the accessory hand control.
With all Shop Press work stations clear of hands, tools, tooling, material
or debris, test the Shop Press operation by depressing the OUT control
button. Once depressed, the hydraulic cylinder of the Shop Press will
extend to operate the accessory. Releasing pressure on the OUT control
button will stop the machine mid-operation. Return the tool to its starting
position by depressing the IN button.
When Disconnecting your Shop Press, simply reverse procedure.
Replace the safety cap at the push button port to restore power to
your Ironworker.
