Test Run

Test run your machine to make sure it runs prop- erly and is ready for regular operation.

The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, 2) the motor turns the correct direction (machine is not wired out of phase), and 3) the emergency stop button safety feature works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 43.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

Before starting this machine, make sure you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safety features on this machine. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or even death!

When the steps below are successful, your iron- worker is ready for operation.

To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you understand the safety instruc- tions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is setup properly.

2.Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine.

3.Check the hydraulic fluid level in the reser- voir and fill it if necessary (refer to Hydraulic System on Page 40 for detailed instruc- tions).

4.Lubricatethebeam(refertoBeamLubrication on Page 34 for detailed instructions).

5.Understand the basic controls and how to use them (refer to Basic Controls on Page 20 for detailed instructions).

6.Connect the machine to the power source.

7.There are two emergency stop buttons—on the front control panel and below the punch- ing station on the left of the machine. One at a time, push the buttons in, then twist them clockwise so they pop out (see Figure 15). When both buttons pop out, the switches are reset and ready for operation.

8.Turn the main power switch to the ON or "l" position—the power lamp should light.

9.Set the controls to Normal, and press the motor start button to turn the machine ON.

10.Verify that the machine is operating correctly by pressing the foot pedal actuator.

—When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

—If the motor is running but the beam does not move, the power may be connected out of phase, and the motor will emit a loud, high-pitched whine. Stop the machine IMMEDIATELY, shut off the power source, then swap any two of the three power wires that connect to the motor (refer to Page 56). Repeat Steps 5–9.

—Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always stop the machine and disconnect it from power before inves- tigating or correcting potential problems.
