STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

PERMA-LIFT MAGNET

A. SAFETY BEFORE EVERY LIFT… 1. Clean and debur magnet faces and load.( with a clean rag ) 2. Check load weight and dimensions against maximum capacity figure. 3. Check for proper positioning of magnet. 4. It can be seen that a significant increase in mechanical resistance to turn the rotor is apparent when there is no load attached, and at no time must this scenario take place as it will impair the reliability of the unit. 5. Materials must be ferromagnetic. As a general rule of thumb, mild steel is better than tool steel and tool steel is better that cast. 6. Load thickness…a lifter thickness is stated on the label if the work piece is too thin it will seriously affect the gripping power. 7. Load surface… a burr .080” will reduce the gripping power 3-times. 8. Don’t lift a load if the ambient temperature exceeds 120 deg. F

DURING EVERY LIFT… 1. Never carry load over yourself or others. 2. Never lift unbalanced loads. 3. Never leave suspended loads unattended.

WHEN LIFTING 1. With the poles directly on the surface on the load pull handle from its safety boss position and rotate to ON making sure that the handle is pushed back into the safety boss. 2. Lift the load so you are satisfied that the load is lifted in a balanced position, otherwise lower and reposition the lifter. 3. When lifting…only lift the load to a minimum height necessary to convey the load safely to its destination. 4. Always keep clear of the load and under no circumstances have any body parts under the load. 5. Avoid swinging the load or anything that could shock the load. 6. Lower the load onto a flat secure surface. 7. Make sure that the chain is completely slack before releasing the magnet.

AFTER EVERY LIFT… 1. Clean and inspect the magnet.

B. MAINTENANCE… 1. Do not attempt to fix this magnet… contact maintenance if there is a problem.
