Rotating the pivot handle will
pivot the MagVibe Pro base.
From stop to stop is 50°.

QAS™is a quick attach system designed to make it quick and easy to attach a Magvibe™
Pro, ProTilt©, or accessories to a ProFloat©or other manufacturers floats. The ability to
quickly Remove the pivot allows for stacking of floats for transportation, easier cleanup
and the ability to switch floats very fast. The Magvibe™ Pro, ProTilt©and ProFloat©have
a built-in QAS™mounts. For other types of floats there are a variety of QAS™adapters:
The QAS™-M is a four bolt adapter, the QAS™-W is a t-washer adapter for channel mount
floats. There is also a QAS™-F adapter that converts a standard pivot to have a quick
attach system so you can attach to a ProFloat©.
QAS™-M Adapter
QAS™-F Adapter
QAS™-W Adapter

ProFloat© Attachment
Loosen both QAS™knobs by turning them
counter-clockwise.
Make sure that the threaded
studs are retracted enough to
clear the QAS™ dovetail.

Align the QAS™
receptacle with the
QAS™ dovetail and
slide over to engage.
Center the
MagVibe Pro™
over the QAS™
dovetail and
tighten both QAS™
knobs by turning
them clockwise.

Four Fastener Float Attachment (QAS™-M)
Place QAS™-M adapter

float and tighten (4)
3/8”-16 x ½” Low head
socket head cap
screws (supplied with
adapter). You will
need a 3/16” Allen tool
for this operation.
Loosen both QAS™
knobs by turning
them
counterclockwise.
Make sure that the
threaded studs are
retracted enough to
clear the dovetail.

Align and slide the dovetail

located on the bottom of
the Magvibe™, Protilt©or
accessory.
Tighten both
QAS™ knobs
by turning
them

Attaching the Pole Extension
Press and hold the pins in pole extension, then align and insert into Magvibe™ Pro pivot
handle. Push into bore and make sure that the pins snap through the two holes in the
pivot handle to engage.
Same procedure for an
outside pole extension; except you will
slide the pole extension over the pivot handle. The
Magvibe™ Pro pivot handle will accommodate Ø1-3/8”
internal and Ø1-3/4” external poles.

Turning Magvibe™ Pro On / Off
There are two ways to turn the Magvibe™ Pro on and off. The first method is to use the
pre-programmed RF remote control (supplied) and the second is to depress the latching
on / off switch.
To use the RF remote control, slide the protective button
cover downward to expose the buttons. There are two
buttons: Button A turns the Magvibe™ Pro on and off,
and Button B is an auxiliary RF control for powered
accessories from Superior Innovations.
To turn the Magvibe™ Pro on, simply press
button A and the vibration will start. When you
want to turn it off, press button A again. The
range will depend on surroundings, however, it
should have a forty-foot line of sight range.

If you lose your RF remote control you can
still turn the Magvibe™ Pro on and off by
pressing the latching on / off switch.
NOTE: This switch is very compact and was
designed to be used as a failsafe if the RF
remote was lost.
Adjusting the Pivot Tensioner
The pivot tension can be adjusted by the
user to add pressure to the gear-set which
creates friction to help hold the float at an
angle. The end result is a fatigue
reduction in the operator’s wrist and
hands.
To adjust; turn the
tensioner knob
clockwise. The
more it is turned
the more friction
is applied to the
gear-set. When
you want less of
an aid, turn the
tensioner knob
counterclockwise
to reduce friction.

Battery Indicator
The battery indicator is positioned so the
operator can see the status of the battery when
the Magvibe™ Pro is in operation. There are 10
LED’s: 5 Green, 3 Amber and 2 Red. Every LED
represents approximately 10% of battery life.
For instance, if 6 LED’S are lit, you have
approximately 60% of battery life remaining.
Charging the Battery
The 18VDC Lithium
Polymer battery is built in
to the Magvibe™ Pro. It
has 3000mAh capacity
which should yield ~18hrs
on a single charge. To
charge it, plug the charger
(supplied) into a 120 VAC
wall outlet, and the 5mm
charging plug into the
charging port of the
Magvibe™ Pro. The
charging port is located
underneath the QAS™ base plate and must be removed from the float to charge.
