Thank you for purchasing this O.S. Walker Product. If used and maintained properly, it should
serve you for many years. Thousands of O. S. Walker lift magnets are in service today doing safe, fast,

transport, and unload material.

absolutely essential that anyone who uses this lifting magnet and is responsible for its application be
