2.1 General Hazards
This section describes potentially hazardous situations and conditions.
!
WARNING: The following situations could result in injury or damage to the
equipment.
l
Do not ride on the AMR.
l
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit.
l
Do not drive the AMR on inclined floors or surfaces.
l
Do not exceed the maximum recommended speed, acceleration, deceleration, or rotation
limits. See Center of Gravity (CG) on page 143 and Acceleration, Deceleration, and Rota-
tion Limits on page 132.
Rotational speed becomes more significant when the payload’s center of gravity is
increasingly offset from the AMR's center of gravity.
l
Do not drop the AMR, run it off a ledge, or otherwise operate it irresponsibly.
!
CAUTION: PERSONALINJURYRISK
The user must not stand close to the AMR while it is rotating with no
forward motion.
l
Do not allow the AMR to drive through an opening that has an automatic gate or door
unless the door and AMR are configured correctly with the Call/Door Box option.
l
Do not throw an object in front of the AMR or suddenly step into the path of the AMR.
The AMR braking system cannot be expected to function as designed and specified in
such instances.
!
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTYDAMAGERISK
Abrupt appearance of objects or persons in the path of the AMR could
result in personal injury or property damage. You must make sure that
the operating environment of the AMR is adequately controlled.
l
Do not expose the AMR to rain or moisture.
l
Do not use unauthorized parts to repair the AMR.
