2.6.1. Safety for Maintenance
After maintenance and repair work, checks must be done to ensure the required safety level. Checks
must adhere to valid national or regional work safety regulations. The correct functioning of all safety
functions shall also be tested.
The purpose of maintenance and repair work is to ensure that the system is kept operational or, in
the event of a fault, to return the system to an operational state. Repair work includes
troubleshooting in addition to the actual repair itself.
When working on the robot arm or control box, you must observe the procedures and warnings
below.

numbers or equivalent components approved by Universal Robots for this
purpose.
