This illustration shows the procedures that are needed in order to select the generator as the active tool.
Generator (4) - Push down on the right side of the switch in order to turn on the generator. Push down on the left side of the switch in order to turn off the generator. This switch is locked in all positions. Push the red lock actuator in order to release the desired switch function. Note: Do not exceed the rated duty cycle of the magnet. Duty cycle is the number of minutes of a 10 minutes period, in which the magnet has been energized.The rated duty cycle for the magnet pickup is 75 percent. Exceeding the rated duty cycle reduces lifting capacity because of excessive heat buildup in the magnet. A maximum time of ten minutes (duration) for magnet ON should be taken in order to avoid overheating the magnet.Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Tool Selection" for more information on activating a tool. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Magnet Control" for more information on the generator switch.
