We present a numerical study of the behaviour of two magnetic dipolar atoms trapped in a harmonic potential and exhibiting the standard Einstein-de Haas effect while subject to a time-dependent homogeneous magnetic field. Using a simplified description of the short-range interaction and the full expression for the dipole-dipole forces we show that under experimentally realisable conditions two dysprosium atoms may be pumped to a high 
value of the relative orbital angular momentum.
