Dead weight
The Arm weighs approx. 18kg, the Control approx. 7kg, the Hand approx. 1kg.
Due to the dead weight and partly geometric design (e.g. mounting flanges),
lifting and handling the device can lead to back injury, and, should it fall, to
serious injury to fingers, hands, toes and feet.
Therefore:
• always wear personal protective equipment (e.g. safety shoes), when
transporting, mounting or demounting these devices
• the devices must be placed such as to prevent tilting or sliding
• when lifting or handling the devices, pay attention to lift correctly (lift
with your legs, not your back)
WARNING
The Arm contains sensive mechanical and mechatronic components. These
can be decalibrated or damaged due to wrong handling or misuse!
Therefore:
• The Arm may only be handled, lied and transported at the points
indicated in this manual in order to avoid overstressing the joints of the
Arm
• The Arm is to be handled gently even when set-up and switched on
or o. If, for example, the arm is moved by force when in stopped and
locked state, an internal safety system is triggered and will cause a
momentary slipping of internal parts. This slipping causes decalibraon
and damage to the Arm
The Arm and Control contain sensive electromechanical components. These
can be decalibrated or damaged by shock!
Therefore:
• Avoid shocks or seng the device down roughly.
• Always store and transport devices in their original packing, even
during transport inside buildings
