4 Push the lifting arm forward until the lifting eye of the magnet falls into the slider. (See Figure 2.)
5 Mount the end plate.
6 Tighten the (4) screws properly. (See fi gure 3)
7 Replace and secure the lifting eye to the arm.

CAUTION:
♦ Confi rm that the correct magnet model is mounted on the correct HV arm. Always use a NEO
250 magnet with a HV 250 arm, a NEO 500 magnet with a HV 500 arm, and a NEO 1000
magnet with a HV 1000 arm.
♦ Confi rm that the magnet has freedom to tilt and twist slightly.
♦ Confi rm that the arm’s slider moves with ease.
♦ Confi rm that the locking pin in the arm’s slider locks into the arm properly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never attempt to operate this NEO-HV 250, 500, or 1000 lifting device until you read and understand the NEO
series magnet Operator’s Manual and Safety Instructions (DD-14493), and these NEO-HV operating and
safety instructions.
1 ALWAYS STAY CLEAR OF THE LOAD. Never get in a position where you could get
hit with the load if it should come off the magnet.
2 Always position the magnet so that it is slightly below the center of gravity of the work-
piece when in vertical position. (See Figure 4 & Figure 5)
3 In the vertical position, the lifting device together with the workpiece should always
lean a few degrees forward. (With the device on “top side” see Figure 4.)
4 Never exceed the workload limits corresponding to the material thickness, surface
quality, and type of material. Refer to the guidelines for the Reduction of Rated Lifting
Capacity on page 11.
Figure 4
WORKLOAD LIMITS
Read and understand the Lifting magnet’s instruction (Manual # 37-DD-14493) before lifting any
load!
The workload limit depends on:
♦ Surface quality, fl atness, rust, scale, paint, dirt etc.
♦ Material thickness
♦ Length/width relation (sagging/peeling)
♦ Type of material
♦ Contact area
