General Maintenance - Daily
Disconnect HP20T from power source.
Check wiring harness for loose connections or damaged control
wiring.
Replace damaged control wiring as necessary. Order replacement
control wiring assembly from your Edwards distributor or through
Edwards Manufacturing Company.
Check hydraulic ttings and hoses for wear or damage. Replace
damaged or worn hydraulic hoses and ttings as necessary. Order
replacement hydraulic components from your Edwards distributor
or through Edwards Manufacturing Company.
Check bolted connections and secure as necessary.
Check welded connections.
Check bearing surface quality.
Visually inspect die surfaces for chips or galling in the bearing
surface.
Verify tooling is secure. Edwards tooling is manufactured from
billet steel for enhanced strength and durability. These are wear-
ing parts that will fail over time and will require replacement.
Order additional tooling through your Edwards distributor or
through Edwards Manufacturing Company. Install replacement
parts according to the Operations Manual.
Clean your HP20T Horizontal Press daily. Disconnect the unit
from its power source rst. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols,
abrasive pads, scouring powders or solvents such as benzene
or alcohol. Clean your machine with a compressed air nozzle
and soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild, water-based deter-
gent solution. Remove lings, dirt, dust and grime from working
surfaces. Ensure the surfaces are fully dry before reconnecting
power.
Maintenance Schedule
Your HP20T Horizontal Press will benet from reasonable care
and periodic maintenance. Reasonable care includes daily visual
observation, as well as general maintenance procedures at daily
intervals by operator/maintenance personnel. Perform inspec-
tions and maintenance of the electrical, hydraulic, and mechani-
cal systems of the Edwards Hydraulic Accessory connected to
the Ironworker or Porta-Power as follows:
Daily/Shift Change Visual Observation
Electrical System
Visually inspect controls and power cording to the Ironworker or Porta-
Power for signs of damage. Cut, abraded or crushed electrical cords
may present an electrical hazard to the Operator and/or damage the
machinery.
Hydraulic System
Visually inspect exposed or surface mounted hydraulic hoses and t-
tings for signs of damage. Cut, abraded or crushed hydraulic hoses or
leaking ttings may present a hydraulic uid hazard to the Operator
and/or damage the machinery.
Mechanical System
Visually inspect moving parts. Guards and material hold-downs must
remain on the machine for safe operation. Clear any material obstruc-
tions at the work station prior to visually inspecting moving parts of
the machine. Cycle the machine. Machine should operate smoothly in
hydraulic extend and retract mode. Grease identied locations daily.
Failure of any element of the daily/shift change visual observa-
tion will require maintenance of the affected accessory com-
ponentry. Please follow the following maintenance procedures.
