Thank you for purchasing a Magictec soil sampler. This document is to provide you with information about your new Magictec.

1. The Magictec is operated on 12-volt electrical power and must be connected directly to the battery. If not, it will not function properly. It draws a maximum of 40 watts and is designed with 40-watt circuit breakers. This is to protect itself from destroying the electrical components as they are all sized to handle a maximum of 40 watts. If the system gets overloaded or shorted, the circuit breakers will cut out thereby leaving it powerless for a short period of time until the circuit breaker auto-resets. If you are operating the Magictec and this happens, you may be using the Magictec beyond its limits. Continued operation under these conditions could soon overheat the wiring and expensive electrical components and cause failure or possible fire. (Not covered in the warranty).

2. Grease the two castings as needed to lubricate the gears and rack.

3. Keep the covers installed at all times of operation for safety and for keeping dirt and moisture elements away from the mechanism.

4. The core extractor is double ended so once one end is worn you can reverse it by removing the bolt and spring and res-installing them. Notice the rubber hose for your protection from sharp edges.

5. Probes, tips, core extractors and other parts can be ordered on the website under www.magictecllc.com. Look under "replacement parts. You may use your credit card as we offer PayPal as a secure online payment type for your safety.

6. When replacing probes or core extractor, be sure to re-align them before operating again.
