2.1 Lifting the manipulator
The following lifting instructions are valid for a “naked” robot. Whenever
additional equipment is put on the robot, the centre of gravity can change and
make lifting dangerous.
Never walk under a suspended load.
If the integrated lifting ears on the front cannot be reached, the manipulator must be
reoriented to the sync position.
The best way to lift the manipulator is to use lifting straps and a traverse crane.
Attach the straps to the integrated lifting eyes on both sides of the frame (see
Figure 2). The lifting strap dimensions must comply with the applicable standards
for lifting. It is also possible to use two lifting devices (option) for use with a fork
lift truck (see Figure 4).
NB!
The right lifting device, the robot seen from behind, must be removed before
start-up, see Figure 1.
