Receiving the Porta Power

Inspect the packaging for damage and follow shipping/receiving instruc-
tions as listed on the packaging prior to receiving the machine into your
facility.
When receiving your machine, be prepared to safely move your machin-
ery with a fork-lift rated for the following equipment weights:

Utilize best practices for fork-lift operation. Handle material as close
to the drive surface as possible with the widest spread and deepest pen-
etration of forks effective to service the pallet. Forks should be adjusted
and locked into the safety detent closest to the maximum available fork
spread.
Unpacking/Moving
Your Edwards Porta Power 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 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 machinery to the prepared workstation.
Electrical Connection
Confi rm with a certifi ed electrician that the electrical supply to the
terminal location powering your Porta Power meet the operating speci-
fi cations (page 2) of the machine prior to electrical connection.
Confi rm your electrical supply with the electrical specifi cations of the
machine or accessory listed (page 2), and located on the Porta Power
starter box.
It is critical that a qualifi 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 specifi 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 specifi cations on the machinery. Install connec-
tions appropriately. Check for stability of connections.
Wire according to the electrical diagrams located within the control
box.
