5.0 MAINTENANCE
The Scotchman Ironworker is an exceptionally rugged machine designed for long life with a minimum
amount of maintenance. A regular program of servicing will extend the machine's life and prevent costly
downtime.
5.1 LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: Before operating the Porta-Fab Ironworker, apply oil to the THREE IN ONE
TOOL blades and the punch and die. Re-oil the punches and dies every 5 to 10 holes and the
blades every 10 to 15 cuts. The oil will allow the machine to shear, punch and strip easier and
increase tool life considerably. We recommend cutting oil or motor oil swabbed on with a small
brush or applied with a squirt can or spray applicator. Grease the main pivot pin and the punch
barrel and guide daily.
A multi-purpose, Molybdenum Disulfide (Dow Corning BR-2 or equivalent), high pressure, bearing
grease is recommended. Check the oil level in the reservoir once a month. To check the oil level, remove
the filler cap and measure the depth of the oil in the reservoir. The fluid should be 1/2 of an inch below
the top of the reservoir. Use a lightweight, non-foaming, hydraulic oil such as Mobil DTE 16, Shell Pellus
46, Texaco Rando 46 or equivalent.
