SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WAYS TO AVOID A REDUCTION OF LIFTING CAPACITY
SAFETY PERSON
O.S. Walker recommends that a person be assigned to review all magnetic
handling applications for these magnets to ensure that safe practices and
procedures are being followed.
*Walker replacement parts may be installed by a ** Designated Person.
** Designated Person - A person selected or assigned by the employer as being competent to
replace specific replacement parts listed in this manual and is able to verify the proper functioning
of the specific replacement parts and the entire product after the completion of the installation.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
DANGER
To Avoid any Reduction of Lifting Capacit y:
 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.
 The full area of the magnet’s lifting surface must be in contact with the load.
 The load must be at least 1.0" (24.5 mm) thick for CER-5, 1.5” (38.1 mm) for CER-
7, 2” (51 mm) for models CER-9 through 12 and at least 2.5” (63 mm) for models
CER-16 and 20.
 The load must be low carbon steel such as SAE 1020.
 The magnet’s lifting surface must stay level and the contacting surface of the load
remain flat.
 The temperature of the magnet and/or the load must not be greater than 110°F
(43°C).
 Repair of this magnet should only be done by the O. S. Walker Co. or a Qualified
Person.*
 Do not exceed the magnet duty cycle. Exceeding the duty cycle will result in
reduced lifting capacity.
 If you have any difficulty lifting a load, DON’T LIFT IT! Call O. S. Walker for advice
at 1-800-962-4638.
WARNING WARNING
 Never lift loads with any dimension greater than
those shown in the LIFTING GUIDELINES.
 Never operate damaged or malfunctioning mag-
nets.
 Never remove or damage Operating and Warning
labels.
 Persons using pacemakers or other medical de-
vices should not use this magnet until they have
consulted with their physician.
 If your magnet was provided with a remote
control unit, NEVER place the control unit in a
position where the switch could be accidentally
turned to “OFF”, “DROP”, OR “LIFT”.
 Disassembly or repair of this magnet can result in
reduced holding power and/or cause an unsafe
condition. Therefore, anytime the magnet is disas-
sembled beyond the parts list shown in this manual,
the magnet must be re-tested for breakaway force
in accordance with the test described in ANSI/
ASME B30.20.
 Modification of any operating mechanism or
structure of this magnet can reduce the magnet’s
effectiveness and/or cause an unsafe condition.
 Repair or modification of this magnet should only be
done by O.S. Walker*.
