• Using the robot on steep surface grades, such as ramps
• Making changes to the SICK configuration
• Driving the robot on cross slopes
• Exceeding the total payload
• Positioning or fastening loads incorrectly according to the specifications—see Payload

5.6 Residual risks
Mobile Industrial Robots has identified the following potential hazards that commissioners
must inform personnel about and take all precautions to avoid when working with MiR1000:
• You risk being run over, drawn in, trapped, or struck if you stand in the path of the robot
or walk towards the robot or its intended path while it is in motion.
• You risk being run over, drawn in, trapped, or struck if you stand in the path of the robot
or walk towards it while it is driving in reverse. The robot only drives in reverse when
undocking from a marker, such as a charging station or load transfer station.
• You risk being crushed or trapped if you touch the robot while it is in motion.
• You risk being crushed or trapped if the robot places a load outside a designated drop-off
area due to faulty localization.
