8.2 Checking Safety Systems
These tests should be done every six months.
NOTE: Operating any of the following switches or buttons must disable high
power. If any of the tests fail, repairs must be made before the robot is put back into
operation.
1. Test operation of:
l
E-Stop button on front panel
l
E-Stop button on pendant
l Auto/Manual switch on front panel
l Enabling switch on pendant (Manual mode only)
2. Test operation of any external (user-supplied) E-Stop buttons.

8.3 Checking Robot Mounting Bolts
Check the tightness of the base mounting bolts every 6 months. Refer to Mounting Bolt Torque
Specifications on page 36 for torque specifications.
8.4 Checking Robot Gear Drives
Adept Quattro robots use gear drives, which use oil in their components for lubrication. It is
recommended that you periodically inspect the robot for signs of oil on and around the gear
drives.
NOTE: Check the operation of the fans while the motor covers are off.
See Checking Fan Operation on page 135.
1. Remove all power to the robot before starting this check.
Lock out and tag out power.
2. Wait for the motors to cool before performing this check.
WARNING: Do not remove the encoder cable connectors
from their sockets on the motors. If they are removed, the
calibration data will be lost and the robot must be
recalibrated, which requires special software and tools
3. Check for oil inside the base of the robot after removing the motor covers.
l Look through the venting slots under each motor for oil leakage.
l
Feel the bottom of the motors with your finger through the venting slots.
