Original Instructions
WARNING Hot parts
Parts of the Hydro Magnet, hoses, pipes and fittings be-
come very hot during operation. Touching them may
lead to burns.
u Never touch hot parts.
u If you have to carry out activities where you have to
touch the parts, wait for them to cool down first.
NOTICE Damage due to overheating
Continuous operation at high duty cycles can lead to
damage or overheating of the magnet plate.
u Operate the Hydro Magnet when LED7 lights up in
the range between 50% and 70%.
NOTICE Mechanical damage
Through to high rotation speeds, the generator can me-
chanically be damaged.
u Operate the Hydro Magnet so that the rotational
speed of the generator is within the permitted toler-
ances. LED6 must not flash red.
6.1 Making operational readiness
n
Start the carrier.
The Hydro Magnet is operable, when the carrier runs
at the required revolution speed, and drives the gen-
erator.
n
Watch the hydraulic lines.
n
Switch off the Hydro Magnet immediately if oil leaks
from the hydraulic lines or other malfunctions occur.
n
Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter De-
pressurising the hydraulic system).
n
Only use the Hydro Magnet again after having re-
paired all leaks and operating defects.
n
Wait until the display lights up LED1 green.
n
Briefly press the control button.
LED2 lights up. The magnet plate is magnetized.
n
Briefly press the control button.
LED3 lights up. The magnet plate is demagnetized.
The quick magnetization and demagnetization is acti-
vated.
6.2 Switching the Hydro Magnet
on and off
After properly attaching the hydraulic attachment to the
carrier, the hydraulic attachment can be operated using
the carrier‘s hydraulic system. All functions for normal
carrier operation remain intact.
The hydraulic attachment is switched on and off using
electrical and hydraulic signals.
If you have any questions about electric / hydraulic com-
mands, consult the carrier manufacturer and/or the
Epiroc Customer Center / Dealer in your area.
n
Switch the hydraulic attachment on and off, as de-
scribed in the carrier‘s operating instructions.
n
When leaving the driver’s cab, set the safety switch/
lever for the electrical / hydraulic attachment installa-
tion to the „OFF“ position.
Carry out the above actions to prevent any unintended
start-up of the hydraulic attachment.
