6.2 Scrapping of robot
Important when scrapping the robot
DANGER
When a robot is disassembled while being scrapped, it is very important to
remember the following before disassembling starts, in order to prevent injuries:
• Always remove all batteries from the robot. If a battery is exposed to heat,
for example from a blow torch, it will explode.
• Always remove all oil in gearboxes. If exposed to heat, for example from a
blow torch, the oil will catch fire.
• When motors are removed from the robot, the robot will collaps if not properly
supported before motor removal.
