PRECAUTIONS

Inspect yoke before each use. If damage to the cord or housing is present, it is strongly recommended the

yoke be sent to a Magnaﬂux Authorized Service Center for repair. If ﬁeld repair is absolutely necessary, see

maintenance section for instructions.

WARNING

Yoke produces a strong magnetic ﬁeld.

WARNING

Persons with pacemakers or medical implants must stay 10 ft / 3.0 m away from

equipment while in operation, or wherever the magnetic ﬁeld is less than 1 gauss.

WARNING

Spraying the yoke directly or immersing the yoke in liquid of any kind can result

in electrical shock. Do not use yoke in damp or wet locations. Do not use yoke

in the rain.

WARNING

Y-7 Yoke Model Only: Do not switch between AC and DC while the yoke is

energized. Operating the switch while the yoke is in use will cause permanent

damage to the control circuit; damage is not covered under warranty..

CAUTION

GFCI / GFI / RCCB / ELCB protection is recommended to prevent electrical shock.

CAUTION

Do not exceed the rated duty cycle. Continuous use of the yoke over extended

times will generate excessive heat and may permanently damage the yoke.

CAUTION

Do not abuse cord. Never carry yoke by cord or yank to disconnect from

receptacle. Never retrieve yoke by pulling on cord. Do not suspend the yoke by

the cord.

CAUTION

Only use outdoor rated extension cords

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-0A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A

Cord Rating 0-6 A

16 AWG min

14 AWG min

CAUTION

Y-8 Yoke Model Only: Charge battery for 12 hours or overnight before ﬁrst use.

Battery ships from factory with at least 75% charge.

CAUTION

Do not position equipment so that it is dicult to disconnect from line power.

CAUTION

Use of equipment other than manufacturer recommendations may invalidate

safety meaures.

OPERATION

1. Y-8 Model Only: Charge battery before use.

2. Connect yoke to power supply / battery pack.

3. Select AC or DC operating mode using switch on back of yoke.

WARNING: Do not operate selector switch while yoke is energized.

4. Position yoke legs at right angles to the direction of suspected discontinuities. Adjust legs

as needed for best contact with surface.

5. Depress trigger to energize yoke. Apply magnetic particles to area between legs.

a. If using dry powder, blow o excess while yoke is energized to reveal indications.

b. If using ﬂuorescent particles, view surface with UV-A in darkened environment to

reveal indications.

6. Evaluate indications for size, shape, and relevant location.

7. Reposition yoke legs at 90-degrees to previous position and repeat steps 4-5 to reveal

indications in all directions.

8. Y-6 and Y-7 Models Only: Demagnetize by energizing yoke then slowly withdrawing it from

the surface, up to 18 in / 45 cm distance. NOTE: Use AC mode for demagnetization.

MAINTENANCE

• Use mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the yoke housing.

• Do not spray yoke housing or immerse any part of yoke in liquid.

• Legs may be detached at the joints for cleaning.

• Use a rust-preventative spray (LPS-2 or equivalent) on legs for lubrication.

Battery Charging

• Recharge battery after every 8-10 hours of use or if stored for extended time.

• Extreme discharge of battery will reduce battery life.

• Connect battery to charger before plugging charger into line power.

• Typical charging time is approximately 1.25 hours per 1 hour of use.

• Typical use over 8-10 hour shift would require 10-12 hours to recharge.

SERVICE

WARNING

Disconnect coil from line power before any disassembly or service.

CAUTION

To assure product safety and reliability, repairs should be performed

by Magnaﬂux Authorized Service Center using original parts.

WARNING

If the AC/DC Conversion Assembly or the switch is replaced,

gasketing must be inspected for integrity and replaced as needed.

Failure to do so may allow liquid intrusion during use, which can result

in electrical shock hazard and permanent damage to the yoke.
