2. ABOUT THE MAGNET LOWERING DEVICE
The magnetic coupling between impeller and magnet ro-
tor is strong enough to pose a risk for damage to the bear-
ings during removing/installing the impeller. Therefore,
in conventional installations, the drive unit should be com-
pletely removed from the tank before removing/installing
the impeller, not vice-versa. The Steridose Magnet Low-
ering Device (LD) allows the user to break the magnetic
coupling without removing the drive unit from the vessel.
This is a significant ergonomic enhancement that reduces
service time and is particularly useful when working with
heavy drive units that can weight as much as 45 kg (100
lbs). Existing drive units can be retrofitted with this fea-
ture in the field, or the drive unit can be ordered with the
Magnet Lowering Device installed from the factory.
3. OPERATION
When installed on the drive unit the Magnet Lower-
ing Device can be operated as follows (see also figure
