Thank you for purchasing this O.S. Walker Product. If used and maintained properly, it
should serve you for many years. Thousands of Walker lift magnets are in service today doing
safe, fast, and effi cient magnetic material handling applications. It is often the only way for one
person to load, transport, and unload material.
Walker Products have proven to be among the best designed and safest in our indus-
try. However, used improperly, any NEO or NEO-HV lifting magnet can be rendered ineffi cient
and unsafe. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that anyone who uses this lifting magnet and is
responsible for its application be trained on how to use it correctly.
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND WATCH THE SAFETY VIDEO TO LEARN
HOW TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN YOUR MAGNET. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, TO YOURSELF AND PEOPLE IN THE AREA.
THIS MANUAL AND SAFETY VIDEO 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
