Rotate the magnets to the unload position (Fig 3).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the hinged stripper plate handles, open the stripper plates, and dump the tramp metal into the retainer pans. The retainer pans eliminate the need to dump the tramp metal on the ground where it must be picked up again. They also eliminate excessive trips to a dump site, thus allowing greater productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore closing the stripper plates insure that there is no tramp metal stuck to the magnet face. Return the stripper plates to the closed position, and insure that the stripper plate handles are fully seated against the front of the magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo continue sweeping, rotate the magnets back to the working position. Use caution during this procedure. If the magnet handle is released before the magnet is fully rotated damage can result to the magnet or to the sweeper frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the sweeping task is completed, rotate the magnets to the travel position (Fig 2) and lock them in place using the linchpins provided. In this position the Magnetic Tow Sweeper may be moved at speeds up to 55 miles per hour on smooth surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it has no springs, the Magnetic Tow Sweeper is designed for use primarily on smooth surfaces. If it is to be used on unimproved surfaces, the sweeping speed must be slowed to prevent damage to the wheel spindles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Magnetic Tow Sweeper should be stored with the magnets in the sweeping position to eliminate the safety hazard of having the magnetic surfaces exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter assembly of the Tow Sweeper, check all fasteners for tightness, including the shaft collars that hold the magnets in place. Periodically check for loosened nuts and bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tow Sweeper is shipped with all bearings greased. Periodically check the 2-inch pillow block bearings and add grease as needed using a good quality lithium based grease. Periodically check the wheel bearings and hub assemblies and add grease as needed using a good quality wheel bearing grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore each use, check the tires for proper inflation. Maintain tire pressure as indicated on the tire wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall amounts of ferrous material will be attracted to the front, back and sides of the magnets. After each sweeping operation, manually remove all attracted material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompare Our Tow Behind Magnets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/product\/3-in-1\/\"\u003e3-in-1\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/product\/mks4000\/\"\u003eMKS4000\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/product\/mks5000\/\"\u003eMKS 5000\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Lifting Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSweeper Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-110 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450-650 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650-950 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSweeper Widths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36-96″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60″, 72″, 84″, 96″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60″, 72″, 84″, 96″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleaning Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop Mounted Release\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelease Trays\/Catch Pan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas, Spring Assisted Levers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerrain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAny\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAny\/Pavement\/Dirt\/Broken Concrete\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldscompany.com\/product\/3-in-1\/\"\u003eBuy Now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldscompany.com\/product\/mks4000\/\"\u003eBuy Now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldscompany.com\/product\/mks5000\/\"\u003eBuy Now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCustomers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRequest Pricing on an MKS4000 Tow Behind Magnet\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Shields Magnetics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63435299389521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/2104\/4561\/files\/resized-mks4000-tow-behind-magnetic-sweeper-pickup.jpg?v=1793978181","url":"https:\/\/secure.shieldscompany.com\/products\/mks4000","provider":"Shields Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
