Parr Magnetic Drives
All non-wetted rotating parts in Parr magnetic drives
are permanently lubricated and do not require servic-
ing during normal operation. During operation, inspect
the magnetic drive for unusual noise or leakage. If
problems are encountered with these items take correc-
tive action. The magnetic drive has internal bearings
and thrust washers which require replacement over
time due to physical wear. Excessive lateral or axial

Older Models
All series 4520 and 4530, one and two liter reactors built
before November, 1985 were equipped with A1120HC2
and A1120HC3 magnetic drives respectively. These
older models are similar to the present A1120HC style
except they have different mounting threads and dif-
ferent shaft lengths for attachment to the former 229HC
style head. All instructions given here for the current
A1120HC drive apply to these older models as well.
