Attachment Instructions
P/N M3 – Sling Magnet
The Sling Magnet is designed for use when attaching slings to equipment in the field. It is
specifically useful in attaching a sling to a transformer for lifting and removing the transformer
during line work. This device is used to hold one end of the sling in place, while attaching the
other end of the sling.
The following procedure shows how to utilize the Sling Magnet in the lifting of an electrical
transformer:
Step # 1 – Locate one end of the sling to attach the Sling Magnet above the sling eye.
Step # 2 – Unfold the hook & loop strap of the Sling Magnet and place the Sling Magnet around
the sling. Ensure the yellow tube material is facing out away from the sling (see Fig. 1):
