Slowly rotate the axis-6 unit upwards, until
the next three screws are possible to re-
move.

in the same way, until the remaining screws
are removed.
DANGER
When the last screw is removed, the axis-
6 unit will only be supported by the support
shaft with bearing on the other side of the
wrist. If the lifting accessory does not sup-
port the axis-6 unit weight, the unit will start
to rotate uncontrolled.

attached to the lifting accessory before the
last screw is removed.
