TO AVOID A REDUCTION OF LIFTING CAPACITY
DANGER
To Avoid any Reduction of Lifting Capacity:
• The lifting surfaces of the magnet and the area of the load where the magnet will be
located must be clean, smooth, fl at and free of nicks and burrs.
• The full area of the magnet’s lifting surface must be in contact with the load.
• The load must be at least 1.0” (24.5 mm) thick for CER05, 1.5” (38.1 mm) for CER07,
2” (51 mm) for models CER09 through CER12 and at least 2.5” (63 mm) for models
CER16 and CER20.
• The load must be low carbon steel such as SAE 1020.
• The magnet’s lifting surface must stay level and the contacting surface of the load
remain fl at.
• The temperature of the magnet and/or the load must not be greater than 110°F (43°C).
• Repair of this magnet should only be performed by Walker Magnetics or a Qualifi ed
(Designated) Person.**
• Do not exceed the magnet duty cycle. Exceeding the duty cycle will result in reduced
lifting capacity.
• If there is any diffi culty lifting a load, DO NOT LIFT IT! Call Walker Magnetics for advice
at 1-800-WMAGNET.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
WARNING
• Never lift loads with any dimension greater than those
shown in the LIFTING GUIDELINES.
• Never operate damaged or malfunctioning magnets.
• Never remove or damage Operating and Warning
labels.
• Persons using pacemakers or other medical devices
should not use this magnet until they have consulted
with their physician.
• If the magnet was provided with a remote control unit,
NEVER place the control unit in a position where the
switch could be accidentally activated to “RELEASE”
or “GRIP”.
WARNING
• Disassembly or repair of this magnet can result in
reduced holding power and/or cause an unsafe
condition. Anytime the magnet is disassembled
beyond the parts list shown in this manual, the
magnet must be re-tested for breakaway force in
accordance with the test described in ANSI/ASME
B30.20.
• Modifi cation of any operating mechanism or structure
of this magnet can reduce the magnet’s effectiveness
and/or cause an unsafe condition.
• Repair or modifi cation of this magnet should only be
performed by Walker Magnetics*
