2.5 Transporting the Robot
When transporting the robot, affix the arms using the supplied arm fixing plate. Additionally, wrap the cables
around the base and secure them with gummed tape or other means.
Use a dolly, forklift, crane or other appropriate equipment for transportation. When transporting the robot,
move it slowly so that it maintains its balance. Also, safeguard the robot against vibration or impact.
When a crane is used, install the supplied eyebolts on the robot for the pass-through of ropes. Install the
eyebolts following removal of the top cover.
z If the arms and cables remain free, the arms may turn unexpectedly and pinch a hand, or a person
may be tripped by the trailing cables.
z Do not attempt to carry the robot by hand, as it may injure the back. Additionally, an injury may
result if the robot is dropped onto the feet.
z Serious injury may result if a person is caught under a fallen robot during transportation.
z Never stand below the robot as it is hoisted.
z Use a hoist and ropes that can comfortably support the weight of the robot.
z If a machine or method is used that requires specified skills, it must be operated/performed by a
person having the proper qualifications.
