Cogs and Magnets
Introduction
To use a tank or drum on the processor (without the JOBO Lift attached) a magnet must be
mounted on its bottom. You must have a cog installed on a tank or drum lid to allow coupling with
the accessory JOBO Lift or Autolab processor.
Some tanks and drums come with a magnet or cog already installed, some do not. At least one of
these mounting systems must be present to use a tank or drum on the processor. See the
instructions below to determine if you need to obtain a magnet or cog for the tanks or drums you
own, or intend to purchase.
The mounting procedures below will prepare your tank or drum for use on your JOBO rotary
processor.
Mounting a Magnet On a Tank or Drum
To use a tank or drum on a manual processor (without the JOBO Lift attached), a magnet must be
mounted on its bottom. A magnet is not required for any of the Autolabs.
The Magnet, part number 1504, will allow you to use 1500, 2500, and 2800 series
tanks or drums on a magnet drive processor. (The 3000 series drums are too large in
diameter to use a magnet coupling.) This magnet is permanently attached to the tank
or drum in the following sequence. You will need one magnet for each tank or drum
you wish to use.
1. Remove the lid from the tank or drum.
2. Note the location of the four pins on the magnet. Note also the four short raised tubes on
the bottom of the tank or drum.
3. Place the tank or drum upside down on a smooth, hard surface.
4. Align the four pins with the raised tubes, and press the magnet down vigorously.
5. Check that there is no gap between the magnet and the bottom of the tank or drum.
When the magnet is properly mounted, it should not come off. If the magnet
does not stay securely on the tank or drum, follow this procedure. After doing
the above steps, turn the tank or drum right side up. Place a piece of wood
(such as a 2x4") slightly longer than the depth of the tank or drum, into the
