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
indicated 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.
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
• First carefully remove the foam layer that is surrounding the Arm.
• Than grasp the Arm at the indicated grasping posion and carefully li it out
of the box. We recommend doing this together with another person to help
you, because the Arm weighs approx. 18kg.
