SECTION: 9 ENTRANCE GUIDE SYSTEM PURPOSE AND PRECAUTIONS OF THE ENTRANCE GUIDE SYSTEM: The ENTRANCE GUIDE system is a very important part of this machine. Not only is it used to position material being fed into the machine, but it also controls the lateral relationship of the material to the forming stations. ENTRANCE GUIDE CONSISTS OF: (SEE PG.
SECTION: 10 POLYURETHANE DRIVE SYSTEM The drive train of this machine is in most circumstances maintenance free. If a material traction problem arises or a roller is replaced, the top roller is adjustable up and down. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN DRIVE ROLLERS The factory setting for the rollers is 1/4 turn past the point of contact.
SECTION: 11 FORMING COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES GUIDE BAR COMPONENTS: The guide bars are in a fixed positive relative to the forming stations. • The back guide bar must be in contact with the material at all times. • The face guide bar supports the face portion of material guiding it into the face forming box assembly. •...
SECTION: 12 LIP FORMING BOX (FORMS THE LIP PORTION OF THE GUTTER) The FORMING BOX consists of 7 stations (#1 = ENTRANCE & #7 = EXIT) and three color-coded adjustment areas. COLOR-CODED ADJUSTMENTS: BLUE: Swing Shaft Assembly BLACK: Entrance Box Mount GREEN: Exit Box Mount ROLLER MAINTENANCE: The forming rollers in this assembly are made from stainless steel.
Page 19
ENTRANCE BOX MOUNT LOCATION: • The ENTRANCE BOX MOUNT has primary purpose in aligning the entrance of the forming box with the exit of the face-forming box. • Looking through the guillotine, see that the lateral alignments between the forming rollers of both boxes are in line. THIS LOCATION IS FACTORY SET &...
Page 20
EXIT BOX MOUNT LOCATION The VERTICAL exit box mount adjustment is used to control the up and down hill on the face-side of the bottom. • The LATERAL adjustment is used to control the width across the opening of the gutter. •...
SECTION: 13 EXIT END FORMING AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY This assembly is a very important part of the machine. Not only does it finish the forming process, but it also drives the material out of the machine. IMPORTANT: The #3 SKATE and the EXIT END FORMING DRIVE STATION are bolted together by BOLTS (K) to insure that the drive roller stays square to the skate.
Page 22
FACE-SIDE OF TOP EXIT ROLLER ASSEMBLY: This area will control into the house and also up & downhill on the face-side bottom of the gutter. • This station is very responsive; make small incremental adjustments of less than 1/32 of a turn. •...
Page 23
FACE BELL ROLLER AND BACK BELL ROLLER: Adjusting bell rollers will control the squaring of the bottom corners of the gutter as well as into and away • from the house. ADJUSTMENT Loosen PIVOT BOLT, LOCKING BOLT, and the LOCKNUT on ADJUSTMENT BOLT. TO MOVE BELL ROLLER CLOSER TO THE TOP DRIVE ASSEMBLY: Turn ADJUSTMENT BOLT counter-clockwise (this will allow bell wheel to move towards top roller).
SECTION: 14 BEAD ROLLER ASSEMBLY The BEAD ROLLER is used to give the back section of the gutter some form and structure. The amount of pressure will also control up & downhill on the back of the gutter. FACTORY SETTING: VERTICAL height of bead roller is 3/8” down from the top of the back of the gutter; HORIZONTAL position is a 1/32”...
After desired position is acquired, tighten locking bolts (D) – 4 places COMBO MACHINE: The 5”-6” IRONMAN Combo Gutter Machine comes equipped with both a 5” & 6” guillotine. CHANGING THE 5” or 6” GUILLOTINE (SEE PG. 23): CHANGE OVER FROM 5” to 6”: Remove the 6”...
Set the right shoe first, and then bring the left shoe to the right (Snug enough to support material without binding). i. (1) RIGHT ENTRANCE GUIDE DIMENSIONS 5” IRONMAN: 1 ½” COMBINATION 5” POSITION: 1-5/8” 6” IRONMAN: 5/16” COMBINATION 6” POSITION: ½”...
SECTION: 17 GUTTER TALK Common terms describing the condition of the gutter: RUNNING UPHILL This term describes a condition where the ends of the gutter are higher along the fascia board than the center. RUNNING DOWNHILL This term describes a condition where the ends of the gutter are higher along the fascia board than the center.
Jog gutter to desired length and cut off using guillotine. Run out support stands must be used to support gutter after 8’. 10. Prior to the completion of the last piece of gutter being produced, cut the coil stock before the entrance guides to clear machine. The IRONMAN MACHINE should be empty when transporting from job to job. SECTION: 19 ANALYZING GUTTER STEP #1: Feed the machine with the material (through entire machine).
SECTION: 20 TROUBLE SHOOTING ADJUSTING THE TOP LIP OF GUTTER The two conditions listed below will be corrected using the SWING SHAFT (BLUE station). (SEE SWING SHAFT ASSEMBLY PG. 16) Top lip lines #3 & #4 are running DOWN and AWAY from the fascia. (SEE PG. 42) The bottom lines #6 &...

Use #3 DRIVE FORMING ROLLER and SWING SHAFT ASSEMBLY as a secondary option to acquire the same results. (SEE PG. 20) NOTE: Loosen LOCKING BOLT K prior to adjusting the top #3 DRIVE FORMING ASSEMBLY. ** CAUTION: Over-adjustment will cause OPPOSITE reaction. ** A.) To correct for DOWN and AWAY from the fascia board: Add pressure to the face side of the top #3 DRIVE FORMING ROLLER.
#3 DRIVE FORMING ROLLER (SEE PG. 19). OIL CANNING OR RIPPLING ON BOTTOM An imperfect bottom on the gutter is very uncommon from the IRONMAN. i. Check all bottom rollers, drive rollers, and skate rollers for tape, debris, or buildup.
SECTION: 22 COMBO CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS • The process to change from the 5” gutter profile to the 6” gutter profile and then back again is considerably simplified by using retractable pins with two secured positions that provide an easy change. •...

STEP 11: MOVE ENTRY GUIDE SHOES. (SEE PG. 36) • There are two split collars used as stops on the entrance guide shaft to locate each entrance guide shoe for the 5” and 6” gutter position. • To position the entrance guide shoes from the 5” to the 6” position, loosen cap screws and slide the entrance guide shoes against the outer most collars on the shaft.
6” to 5” CONVERSION CAUTION: Make sure that the machine has been disconnected from the power source before starting conversion. The order to convert 6” to 5” is NOT the same as for 5” to 6”, so follow the instructions carefully. •...
