ABB IRB 120 - Risk of Tipping;Stability

2.2.3 Risk of tipping/stability
Risk of tipping
If the robot is not fastened to the foundation while moving the arm, the robot is not
stable in the whole working area. Moving the arm will displace the center of gravity,
which may cause the robot to tip over.
The shipping position is the most stable position.
Do not change the robot position before securing it to the foundation!
