FOREWORD This manual has been prepared for those persons who will operate and maintain the Piranha Ironworker. It is important that all persons responsible for the care and operation of this equipment read and understand the information presented in this publication.
INTRODUCTION The Piranha Ironworker is a compact hydraulically powered machine that shears, punches, bends, notches, and copes, all in a low silhouette, efficiently designed unit, resulting in minimal floor space requirements. The integral lifting lug provides instant portability and the unit arrives fully assembled, requiring only the addition of hydraulic oil and electrical power to become fully operational.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The operator of this machine should view the operational video provided with the machine, and thoroughly understand this manual before starting any operation. This machine was designed for use by a single operator only. Wear eye protection at all times. Use the proper voltage outlet for your machine.
MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Drive Motor 10 HP 230 / 460 Volt 3 Phase Hydraulic Tank Capacity 25 Gallons Hydraulic Oil AW-32 or Equivalent ISO Grade 32 Consult your local distributor for a cross reference. WORKING SURFACE Platen 14-1/2" x 21" Coping 19"...
"Ontario Hydro" electrical code for proper manufacture of the electrical circuits. Hydraulic System Design/Manufacture: Hydraulic components used in Piranha machines are approved by NFPA (National Fluid Power Association), and those approval numbers can be traced through the manufacturer's part numbers.
Only connect the specified voltage to the machine. Lifting The lifting lug on the Piranha is an integral part of the machine. Use a device with adequate lifting capacity to handle the Piranha. CAUTION: The unit is exceptionally top heavy! Lifting from the underside of the machine may cause damage to the cabinet structure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (refer to drawings on page 12) The Piranha Ironworker comes pre-assembled and pre-wired, requiring only the addition of hydraulic fluid in the reservoir to the mark on the fill cap dipstick and a power source from a disconnect to the electrical enclosure box located inside the cabinet.
Page 15
Footswitch Operation The ironworker can also be controlled by a footswitch (reference Figure "F"). The footswitch is used by plugging the 4-pole twist lock cap into the 4-pole twist lock receptacle located in the front cover of either control box (reference Figure "A"), and switching the toggle switch (reference Figure "A") from the "OFF"...

8) Allow footswitch lever to elevate allowing beam to rise. 9) Slide limit switch arm until contact with the upstroke switch stops beam movement at the desired upper limit. 10) Tighten thumbscrew to hold limit switch arm firmly in place. NOTE: When punching or using the bending attachment, set upper and lower limits to allow for 1/4"...

STRIPPER ATTACHMENT ALIGNMENT The alignment of the stripper should be accomplished in the following manner. (Reference Pages RP-3 and RP-7). Slide the punch stripper assembly on the dovetail-mounting shoe. Tighten the locking shoe by turning the cap screw clockwise (requires 3/8” Allen wrench).
Page 18
STRIPPER ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT NOTE: The selector switch should be in the "OFF" position until all tooling changes are complete. (Reference Page 12, Figure “B”.) The adjustment of the stripper assembly to compensate for varying punch lengths should be accomplished in the following manner. (Reference Page RP-7 or a visual reference).
BENDING ATTACHMENT ALIGNMENT The alignment of the bending punch and bending die should be accomplished by the following manner. (Reference Pages RP-3 and RP-10). Slide the bending punch assembly on the dovetail-mounting shoe. The front edge of the bending dovetail slide should be even with the mounting shoe Tighten the locking shoe by turning the cap screw clockwise (requires 3/8”...

SHEAR HOLD-DOWN ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT The adjustment on the hold-down assembly should be accomplished by the following manner. (Reference Page RP-6) 1. Raise the upper beam to its full upstroke limit. 2. Adjust the three-position hold-down locator per the following instructions: ...
LUBRICATION GENERAL The importance of correct lubrication cannot be over emphasized. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated without complying with the lubrication requirements set forth in this publication. LUBRICATION CHART Lubrication Station Part Lubricated Frequency Instructions Type Upper Pull Arm On Side Every 40 Apply With Mobile MP...
HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL Your Piranha ironworker is equipped with a dipstick indicator on the fill cap located inside the access door. The dipstick is marked to help maintain proper fluid level. This should be checked as part of your normal maintenance cycle.
TROUBLESHOOTING The following material is a trouble-shooting guide to be followed by maintenance personnel should a problem occur with your machine. Many of these problems can be solved in your shop by following a step-by-step procedure for isolating the deficiency. If the deficiency cannot be isolated and corrected in your shop, any information regarding your effort to isolate the area should be related to the service technician at Mega Manufacturing, Inc.

P2 - MACHINE STARTS BUT WILL NOT OPERATE Determine if the problem is electrical or hydraulic by using the manual override buttons located on the Rexroth directional valve top and bottom sides. (Refer to Page RP-17, Item 9). If the machine operates, the problem is electrical. Follow the procedure below: Determine if problem exists in the front control box only, the rear control box only, or in both control boxes.
Page 25
P3 - MACHINE OVERHEATS 1. Check if fluid level in reservoir is low. 2. Check for low line voltage to transformer, causing low control voltage to directional valve solenoid coils. 3. Determine if limit switches are set improperly when using footswitch, allowing cylinder to bottom out at retraction and extension.
Page 26
P6 - MACHINE LEAVES BURR WHEN SHEARING 1. Knife clearance: .007" to .010". If not, follow procedure in P5. 2. Check shear knives for sharpness 3. Check that the automatic hold-down is adjusted to clamp the material securely. P7 - BENT OR BROKEN SHEAR HOLD-DOWN SWING BOLT 1.
TONNAGE REQUIRED FOR PUNCHING HOLES IN MILD STEEL The table below shows the tons of pressure required for punching round holes in mild steel derived by the following formula: Tons of pressure required = Hole Size x Material Thickness x a Constant of 80.
MAINTENANCE TOOLS LIST The following tools are required for performing maintenance and to assist you in troubleshooting your machine: 1. Grease gun with a flexible connection. 2. Open end wrenches - 3/4" thru 1-1/4". 3. Adjustable wrench – 1-1/2" thru 2-1/4" opening. 4.
