Always li the Arm in the posions intended for
liing, as not to overstress the joints of the Arm
during handling and liing. In parcular, the Arm
may never be carried in extended posion with
one person holding each end of the Arm!
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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 indi-
cated in this manual in order to avoid overstressing the joints of the Arm
• The Arm is to be handled gently even when mounted 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 components. This slipping causes
decalibraon and damage to the Arm.
NOTICE
The Arm and Hand contain sensive electromechanical components. These
can be damaged if the Arm is moved to adopt the transport posion while the
end eector is sll aached! Furthermore, when moving into transport posi-
on, objects in the operang area of the Arm may be damaged.
Therefore:
• Make sure that the end eector has been dismounted before bringing
the Arm into the transport posion.
• Make sure that the operang area allows to bring the Arm into transport
posion safely.
