Releasing the Brakes
In case of an emergency or abnormal situation, the AMR can be manually moved. However,
only qualified personnel who have read and understood this manual and the Mobile Robot
LD Safety Guide (Cat. No. I616) should manually move the platform. The brakes on the drive
wheels can be released with the brake release button. This requires battery power, and an E-
Stop must be pressed on the AMR.
NOTE: The LD-90x has a high gear ratio, and is very difficult to move, even
with the brakes released. This NOTE does not apply to the standard LD-90.
General Hazards
IMPORTANT: The following situations could result in injury or damage to the
equipment.
l
Do not ride on the platform.
l
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit.
Payload decreases as slope increases.
l
Do not exceed the maximum recommended speed, acceleration, deceleration, or rotation
limits. See Center of Gravity (CG) on page 69 and Acceleration, Deceleration, and Rota-
tion Limits on page 61.
Rotational speed becomes more significant when the payload’s center of gravity is
farther away (vertically and/or horizontally) from the platform’s center of gravity.
l
Do not drop the AMR, run it off a ledge, or otherwise operate it irresponsibly.
l
Do not allow the AMR to drive through an opening that has an automatic gate/door
unless the door and AMR are configured correctly with the Call/Door Box option. Refer
to the LDPlatform Peripherals User's Guide for details on the Call/Door Box.
l
Do not get the AMR wet. Do not expose the AMR to rain or moisture.
l
Do not continue to run the AMR after hair, yarn, string, or any other items have become
wound around the platform’s axles, casters, or wheels.
l
Do not use unauthorized parts.
l
Do not turn on the platform without the antennas in place.
l
Although the lasers used are Class 1 (eye-safe), we recommend you not look into them.
