WARNING
Only qualified personnel should perform sling work and operate a crane or a forklift. When these operations
are performed by unqualified personnel, it is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury
and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system.
CAUTION
Before relocating, fold the arm and secure it tightly with a cable tie to prevent hands or fingers from getting
caught in the Manipulator.
When removing the anchor bolts, support the Manipulator so that it does not fall. Removing the anchor bolts
without supporting the Manipulator can cause it to fall, causing hands or feet to get caught.
The Manipulator should be transported by two or more people, either secured to transporting equipment or
carried by placing their hands under Arm #1 or the bottom of the base. When holding the bottom of the base
by hand, be extremely careful not to get your hands or fingers caught.
When transporting the Manipulator over long distances, secure it directly to transporting equipment so that it will not fall. If
necessary, pack the Manipulator using the same packaging as delivery.
When the Manipulator is reassembled and used for a robot system again after an extended period of storage, perform a test run
to verify that it works properly before starting the main operation.
Manipulators should be transported and stored under the following conditions: Temperature: -20 to +60°C, Humidity: 10 to
90% (no condensation).
If condensation has formed on the Manipulator during transportation or storage, do not turn on the power until the
condensation is removed.
Do not subject the Manipulator to excessive impacts or vibrations during the transportation process.
