Start-up
4.1
Safety information
Read the operating instructions before
start-up of the magnet device!
A visual check is to be made before start-
up of the complete system!
Ensure that the generator is tightened
firmly before start-up!
Check the correct fit of the drive belts
before start-up!
Only attach load lifting magnets to the
system! Operation for other electrical
users is not permitted!
Before beginning work on the entire
system disengage the drive motor!
Never open the terminal connection box
and the 220 V connector on the generator
and the magnet while the motor is
running!

Safety regulations magnet operation
The operation of a load lifting magnet on a mobile
excavator represents a special mode of operation and
an increased safety risk. In contrast to working with a
hydraulic grabber, the magnet picks up all available
ferromagnetic material immediately after it is switched
on.
This may even be more than the load-carrying capacity
of the mobile excavator allows.
Similarly, the magnet suddenly releases the lifted
material after it is switched off, if there is cable damage
or a short-circuit in the magnet feed cable. This can
lead to dangerous situations in the working vicinity, for
example, if falling material causes other objects to be
hurled up by lever force. Furthermore, it is not excluded
that pieces of scrap iron may separate from the magnet
during a swiveling procedure, if these are located at
the lower end of the lifted material cluster. For these
reasons, it is particularly important to observe the
following principle:
While working with the load
lifting magnet it is forbidden to
stand within the extended reach of
the excavator
Do not swivel the working equipment
or change the location of the
excavator with the magnets
switched on without a
payload - unintentionally
lifted materials can lead to
human injury by lever force!
The magnet can oscillate strongly after load release!
For this reason, the mechanically safe attachment of
the magnet in the form of a special magnet suspension
at the end of the arm on the mobile excavator is highly
recommended!
