Titan 3 Magnet Service Kit & Instructions
This step by step guide will assist you in successfully servicing your Titan 3 magnet to further your
investments lifespan in the precast yard. Ongoing maintenance of each magnet will ensure they
perform as expected and will reduce potentially ongoing replacement costs.
For the purpose of servicing your Titan 3 you can replace either the Body or the Handle. In both
scenarios, you reuse your existing magnet pack or old handle, depending on what you are servicing
or replacing.
Equipment Required
The following items will ensure your able to disassemble your old magnet case without causing
further damage and will allow for a fast reassembly with your new service kit. These items can be
used for servicing both the Body & the Handle Kits. Emphasis needs to be made with regards to
conducting this work on a non-metallic surface. Failure to follow this guide could result in hazard to
the operator hands or the magnet being stuck to the flat metallic surface to which it will never be
removed.

Old Magnet Disassembly
Step Instruction

*WARNING*
BEFORE COMMENCING ENSURE YOUR
WORKSPACE IS NON-METALLIC
Start by removing any excess concrete that
might attached to the magnet casing around
the screw locations and from the bottom of
the magnet pack
Using your thin blade screwdriver remove all
the sealing caps from the magnet case and
the handle area to expose the hex screws.
Flip the case upside down, using a Phillips
head screw driver or cordless drill (set on
low power) remove the 8x Skirt retention
screws.

Continued.
Using your 4mm Allen key remove the hex
screws from one side of the handle section.
You only need the screws from one side. Put
these aside if you are reusing this handle.
Once removed you can slide the handle with
the Guide Pin out from the magnet case. Be
sure to remove the Guide Pin Bushes and
Teflon washers as well. If you are reusing
your handle put it to one side for use in
once the body has been replaced
At the rear of the magnet casing remove the
Cap head hex screws with your 6mm Allen
key. These are the last screws retaining the
magnet within the housing.
Using a long screw drive insert it into the
casing from the side to lever the magnet
from the case as it may be locked against the
demagnetising strip on the inside. Once free
remove the skirt from the surrounds of the
magnet pack. This will just slide off.

STEP 2.
Magnet Pack Inspection & Cleaning
Step Instruction
Image
The magnet pack needs to be checked for
damage. Severe damage to the Rear Pivot
screw locaters will render the magnet pack
unserviceable and a new magnet will need
to be purchased.
The kidney guides need to be checked for
wear and tear. These will wear over time
and excessive wear will reduce the magnets
engagement/disengagement capabilities.
There should be a distinct “bump” if there is
not then the magnet handle engagement
will be severely affected.
The skirting between each magnet element
should be checked. Slight wear and tear is
acceptable however if several of the rubber
strips are missing or broken this can slightly
reduce the magnets effectiveness in shear
and needs to be considered when returning
to service in the yard.
Scrub any excess concrete from the magnet
pack. WD40 can be used sparingly to clean
residue from the magnet pack. Avoid getting
excess WD40 around the Kidney section.
Wipe any excess from the magnet pack
before proceeding.

STEP 3.
Re-assembly with new Magnet Service Kit
Step Instruction
Image
Place Magnet pack upside down on the work
surface. Slide the new Magnet skirt over the
magnet pack with the thicker section at the
bottom end of the magnet.
Turn the magnet pack over and then slip the
new Titan 3 case over the magnet pack and
push down firmly to “seat” it.
Using your 6mm Allen key insert and tighten
the Cap head hex screws in the Rear pivot
locators.

Continued.
Insert the Handle guide pin collets into the
magnet pack “kidney” sections. These will be
either new ones if you are replacing the
Handle, or the ones from the old handle.
Be sure to insert the White Teflon washers
onto the guide pin before sliding it through.
These enable smooth function of the handle
and prevent wear against the handle arm
and the guide bushes.
Press the magnet pack up inside the case so
it engages with the Demagnetising strip. This
will aid in sliding the Guide pin and handle
through the kidneys.
Using the Handle portion with the guide pin
attached slide it through the collet and
through to the other side until the steel
portion of the handle upright is snug inside
the case.

Continued.
Insert the remaining Handle half and upright,
locking it into place with the aligning lugs.
Push it in firmly until the metal ring section
is flush with the body of the case. Insert the
Hex head screws and tighten with your 4mm
Allen Key.
Flip the magnet over to reveal the skirt.
Using your Phillips screwdriver or cordless
drill (set on low) install and tighten the 8 x
retention screws. Be sure not to overtighten
these as damage may occur to the inserts
inside the case.
The final stage is to insert all the sealing
caps. There are 4 for the handle (Red) and
tow for the Pivot screws at the rear of the
case (Orange). These can be simply pushed
in by hand and should not require blunt
force.
