USER AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 

Operating the Magnetic Grabber

6.1.1  Connecting the Magnetic Grabber

Please ensure that, on the side of the vehicle were the system is 

installed, no persons are present in an area of 3 feet (1 m) 

under and / or around the VSRX system and /or between the 

vehicle and the entry / exit door when the vehicle exits the 

building. This way possible injuries can be avoided by a possible 

backwards motion of the Grabber in the direction of the station 

and park position. 

When a vehicle returns to its bay the Magnetic Grabber nozzle 

can easily be attached to the conical tailpipe adapter.

The Magnetic Grabber nozzle must be placed straight onto the 

conical tailpipe adapter, but to connect it is easiest to first attach 

the top of the Magnetic Grabber and then press down on the 

safety disconnect in order to attach the lower part of the 

Magnetic Grabber.   

The conical design of the connection surface ensures safe and 

easy positioning. 

6.1.2  Disconnecting the Magnetic Grabber

a.  Automatic disconnect - The Magnetic Grabber nozzle will 

disconnect automatically when the vehicle exits the bay. 

b.  Manual disconnect - To manually disconnect the Magnetic 

Grabber nozzle; hold the safety disconnect with two hands 

and push it downwards.

6.1.3  Cleaning Instructions

To ensure a good magnetic connection at all times, you will need 

to ocassionally clean a few components:

a)  Make sure you keep the connection surface of the conical 

tailpipe adaptor clean of soot and other contaminations.

b)  Using a damp cloth (rubbing alcohol, degreaser, or other 

fast-evaporating solvent), wipe the connection surface of the 

Magnetic Grabber

®

.

d)  Using a damp cloth, wipe the entire vertical face/sealed 

flange of the conical tailpipe adapter. Diesel soot build-up 

may occur when idling or driving at slow speeds. 

6.2 

Inspection and Maintenance

We recommend that you add the following activities to your 

truck cleaning schedule:

1.  Check if the magnets on the Magnetic Grabber are all in place 

and clean. 

2.  Check if the conical tailpipe adaptor is clean and there are no 

obstructions that can prevent the magnets from positioning 

themselves on the product. 

3.  Remove the hose assembly from the balancer and check the 

hose for any defects.

4.  Make sure the metal saddle and Magnetic Grabber

 

are still 

fixed tightly to the hose. 

5.  Check to make sure the trolley runs smoothly through the rail 

and correct stop at the end-stops.

6. Clean the inside of the rubber lip.
