Page 3: Safety Instructions
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL SAFETY RULES Danger always exists when loads are transported by lifting devices, especially if the equipment is not being used properly or is poorly maintained. Because accidents and severe bodily injury or death can result, specific safety precautions must be applied to the operation, inspection, and maintenance of Walker Lift Magnets. -
Page 4: Recognize Safety Information
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your magnet or in this manual, be alert to the potential for per sonal injury. Follow recommended precautions and safe operat- ing practices at all times. This indicates a situation in which a hazard DANGER is imminent and will result in a high prob... -
Page 5: Ways To Avoid A Reduction Of Lifting Capacity
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WAYS TO AVOID A REDUCTION OF LIFTING CAPACITY ADANGER 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, flat and free of nicks and burrs. -
Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION BATTERY INSTALLATION: The battery used in the BUX BM -13PB series should be a BCI group 22NF style battery of the deep discharge type. It should have a minimum reserve capacity of 45 ampere-hour @ 20 hour rate (e.g. Dynasty DCS-50U). The battery used in the BUX BM -25PB, BUX BM -36PB, BUX BM... -

Page 8: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT FACTS FOR THE OPERATION OF LIFT MAGNETS LOAD CHARACTERISTICS OTHER THAN JUST WEIGHT MUST BE CONSIDERED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE LOAD THAT ANY MAGNET CAN LIFT. This statement is true for all lifting magnets because they all operate using the same fundamental laws of physics. - Page 9 4. LOAD LENGTH OR WIDTH As the length or width of a load increases, it will cease to remain flat when lifted as the edges will begin to droop. This drooping or sagging of the load can create an air gap between the load and the magnet, especially at the ends of the magnet.
- Page 10 SAFETY FOR FAST, EASY LIFTING WITH YOUR WALKERLIFT MAGNET - NEVER attempt to operate this lift magnet until you read and understand the OPERATOR'S MANUAL & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Manual #37-D016630 Check the condition of the magnet prior to every lift. WIPE clean the bottom of the magnet for the BM and BP magnets).

Page 12: Recommended Lifting Procedures
RECOMMENDED LIFTING PROCEDURES ■ SAFETY HOOK LATCH Always use a safety hook latch on your crane hook to hold your magnets. ■ STAY CLEAR OF TH E LOAD Guide the load by pushing or pulling the edges of the load. Keep your entire body clear of the load at all times. -
Page 13: Guidelines For The Reduction Of The Rated Lifting Capacity
GUIDELINES FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE RATED LIFTING CAPACITY: Each Walker lifter model is rated for a different weight limit. Load characteristics CAUTION lwill affect the lifting capacity of the magnets. The lifting guidelines f o r the various models are shown on the following pages. ■... - Page 14 LOAD WEIGHT GUIDELINE To estimate the weight of a steel work piece, first determine the volume of the Load in cubic inches. Then multiply the volume (cubic inches) by the density of steel (.283) pounds per cubic inch. Load Weight (steel)= (volume) multiplied by (density) = (W (.283) Example: What is the weight of a 1 O"...

Page 21: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptoms Possible cause 1) To operate the magnet, make sure the lift bail is in a relaxed postion. Then press the LIFT button on the Front Panel or the I.R. remote. If no display indicators turn on, then the battery voltage may be below the minimum acceptable operating level 11.6 volts. - Page 22 TROUBLESHOOTING 1) The alarm should always sound when the LIFT button on the Front Panel or I.R. remote is D. ALARM DOES pressed and whenever the red DANGER indicator turns on. If the alarm does not sound, DO NOT NOT SOUND. USE THE MAGNET.
