• Safety Instructions Manual
• Operations Manual
• Maintenance Manual
READ ALL MANUALS BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY. Operating
machinery before reading and understanding the contents of all four
manuals greatly increases the risk of injury.
Each of the four machine manuals describes ‘best practices’ in handling, installing, operating and maintaining your machine. The contents
of each manual is subject to change without notice due to improvements
in the machinery or changes in National or International standards.
All rights reserved. Reproduction of this manual in any form, in whole or
in part, is not permitted without the written consent of Edwards Manufacturing Company.
Keep all manuals close to the machine to allow for easy reference when
necessary.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals
including Methyl Isobutyl Ketone which is known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to http://www.p65warnings.
ca.gov.
WARNING: Some dust, fumes and gases created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, welding and other
construction activities contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry
products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are speci cally designed
to lter out microscopic particles. For more information go to
http://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/ and http://www.p65warnings.

Installing the Ironworker
Receiving the Ironworker
Edwards Ironworking machinery is fully assembled and is shipped either by palletized custom wooden crate or by shrink–wrapped wooden
pallet for ease of transport and receiving.
Inspect the packaging for damage and follow shipping/receiving instructions as listed on the packaging prior to receiving the Ironworker into
your facility.
When receiving your Ironworker, be prepared to safely move your machinery with a fork-lift rated for the following equipment weights:
Minimum Machinery Weights
25 Ton 544.3 kg / 1200 lb
40 Ton 861.8 kg / 1900 lb
50 Ton 916.3 kg / 2020 lb
55 Ton 1124.9 kg / 2480 lb
60 Ton 1156.7 kg / 2550 lb
Unpacking/Moving the Ironworker
Your Edwards Ironworker includes surface and remotely mounted
electrical cabling and hydraulic lines. Exercise caution when removing
the factory supplied packaging. Do not cut electrical wires or hydraulic
hoses.
1. Unbolt/unpack Ironworker from its pallet using a 3/4” (19.05mm)
socket. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Lift Edwards machinery using the designated fork lift locations and
appropriately rated lifting equipment.
3. Move the Ironworker to the prepared workstation.
Anchoring Ironworker
Anchor the base of the Ironworker to the workstation oor using four
1/2” (12.7mm) wedge anchor bolts. Anchorage points are the front and
rear of the fork-lift tubes. Secure the machinery with lock-nuts.
In the event the machinery needs to be relocated, reverse procedure.
Electrical Connection
65 Ton 2154.6 kg / 4750 lb
75 Ton 1859.7 kg / 4100 lb
100 Ton 2109.2 kg / 4650 lb
100 Ton DX 2349.6 kg / 5180 lb
120 Ton 2494.8 kg / 5500 lb
ELITE 110 2440.3 kg / 5380 lb
ELITE 110/65 3891.8 kg / 8580 lb
Utilize best practices for fork-lift operation. Handle material as close
to the drive surface as possible with the widest spread and deepest penetration of forks effective to service the pallet. Forks should be adjusted
and locked into the safety detent closest to the maximum available fork
spread.
Con rm with a certi ed electrician that the electrical supply to the
terminal location powering your Ironworker meet the operating speci cations (page 2) of the machine prior to electrical connection.
Con rm your electrical supply with the electrical speci cations of the
machine or accessory listed (page 2), and located on the Ironworker
starter box. It is critical that a quali ed electrician install your
machinery as your Warranty protection does not cover incorrect
wiring of electrical components at your site.
Prior to connecting your machine to the dedicated, protected power
supply, match work station wiring to the power supply cable (Owner
supplied) and the starter-box/motor speci cations on the machinery.
Install connections appropriately. Check for stability of connections.
If wiring through a plug/socket connection at the work station,
match work station wiring to the socket (Owner supplied), plug
(Owner supplied) and the power supply cable (Owner supplied) to the
starter-box / motor speci cations on the machinery. Install connections
appropriately. Check for stability of connections.
Wire according to the electrical diagrams located within the control
box.
3
Starting Box Wiring
Provide the electrical schematic wiring diagram (located within
the Ironworker control box) to your Electrician prior to initiating the
electrical hookup of the machine.
Power up the Ironworker
With all stations clear of tools, tooling or debris, power up the Ironworker
by depressing the green button on the starter box. With the power on,
your machine will return to a neutral position.
Cycle the machinery by pressing the foot pedal. If pressure is released
at the foot pedal prior to completing a full stroke, the operating center of
the machinery will return to a neutral position.
If the machinery fails to cycle the motor may be rotating incorrectly. To
ensure the machinery cycles properly simply reverse two of the phase
wires on the machine starter box.
If the machine fails to cycle, power down the Ironworker by pressing the
red button on the starter box, Lockout / Tagout the upstream power and
consult the trouble shooting section of the Operator Manual.
