6.5. Weight specifications
Definition
In installation, repair and maintenance procedures, weights of the components handled are 
sometimes specified. All components exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs) are high-lighted in this way. 
To avoid injury, ABB recommends the use of lifting equipment when handling components 
with a weight exceeding 22 kg. A wide range of lifting tools and devices are available for each 
manipulator model. 
Example
Below is an example of how a weight specification is presented, inside a procedure table:
Action Note
