INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this O.S. Walker Product. If used and maintained properly, it will serve you for
many years. Thousands of O.S. Walker lift magnets are in service today doing safe, fast, and efficient
magnetic material handling. It is often the most efficient way for one person to load, transport, and un
load material.
O.S. Walker Products have proven to be among the best designed and safest in our industry, however,
if used improperly, any Model BUX BM

magnet can be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It
is, therefore, absolutely essential that anyone who uses this lifting system or is responsible for its appli
cation be trained on how to use it correctly.
Read this manual carefully and learn how to operate and maintain your magnet properly. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury or death to yourself and others in the area of operation.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of your magnet and should always be
available to all operators and remain with the magnet if it is re-sold.
Additional copies of this OPERATOR'S manual ARE AVAILABLE.
JUST CALL 1-800-962-4638 AND REQUEST ADDITIONAL COPIES OF MANUAL #37-DD16630.
