6 Operation
DANGER Danger to life through electric shock
During operation, dangerous voltages may occur. This
can lead to serious injury or even death.
u Never open the Hydro Magnet housing during opera-
tion.
u Never loosen or connect any cables during opera-
tion.
u Never hold the beam of a high-pressure cleaner on
the Hydro Magnet. There is a danger of electric
shock and danger of damage.
DANGER Danger to life through electric shock
In the event of an insulation fault the built-in system pro-
tection "protective separation" is no longer effective. Due
to these errors dangerous contact voltages can occur on
metal parts. This can lead to serious injury or even
death.
u Turn off the carrier immediately. Secure the carrier
against being switched on again (for example, by re-
moving the ignition key and keeping it safe).
u Contact the Epiroc Customer Center / Dealer in your
area.
u Only use the Hydro Magnet again after all damage
and defects have been repaired.
DANGER Danger to life through electric shock
Overheating can damage the control electronics. It is not
guaranteed that under this condition, safe operation of
the system is ensured. Loads can fall uncontrollably due
to electronic failure. This can lead to serious injury or
even death.
u Immediately lower the Hydro Magnet load if the
LEDs 4, 5, 6 light up and 100% flashes.
u Never cool the Hydro Magnet with water.
u Turn off the carrier and secure it against being
switched on again (for example, by removing the ig-
nition key and keeping it safe).
u Contact the Epiroc Customer Center / Dealer in your
area.
WARNING Risk of magnetic field
The electromagnetic field can cause interference and
damage to electronic devices (such as cardiac pacemak-
ers). It can also move ferro-magnetic objects inadver-
tently. This can lead to serious injury or even death.
u Persons with cardiac pacemakers must keep a safe
distance of at least 2m from the Hydro Magnet.
u Persons with metal prostheses must keep a safe dis-
tance of at least 2m from the Hydro Magnet.
u No person may bear or carry ferro-magnetic objects
in the field of Hydro Magnet, since it will exert an at-
tracting force and could cause bruising or injury.
u Keep a safe distance of at least 2m from the Hydro
Magnet with electronic devices such as computers,
monitors, credit cards, mobile phones, magnetic
cards, etc..
u Secure a spacious working area for the Hydro Mag-
net with warning signs, to alert personnel and others
to the dangers of the magnetic field.
WARNING Risk of death due to suspended loads
When lifting loads these can swivel and fall off. This can
result in serious injuries or even death.
u Shut off the danger zone in a radius of 20 m around
the Hydro Magnet with a construction fence.
u Never stand underneath or in the swivelling range of
the Hydro Magnet.
u When operating the Hydro Magent, ensure that you
always have a clear view of the load. Let an assistant
instruct you, if this is not possible. The assistant must
be located outside the danger zone.
u When leaving the workplace, lower the Hydro Mag-
net to the floor/ground.
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil under high pressure
Hydraulic oil will squirt out under high pressure if there is
a leakage. The jet of oil might penetrate people's skin
and cause permanent damage. Hot hydraulic oil can
cause burns.
u Never use your hands to find leaks.
u Always keep your face away from a possible leak.
u If hydraulic oil has penetrated your skin consult a
doctor immediately.
NOTICE Environmental damage due to hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil is environmentally harmful and must not
penetrate the ground or enter the water table or water
supplies.
u Collect any hydraulic oil which escapes.
u Dispose of it in accordance with the applicable envi-
ronmental regulations.
