Before starting
o Always perform a LMRA in following three steps:
 Recognizing potential dangers that could be present despite all the measures taken.
Employees should first ask themselves if they are risking exposure to these dangers.
They must not start the work if they believe the risks are unacceptable.
 Thinking up solutions or measures to remove the perceived risks or make them
acceptable
 Taking measures to let them carry out the work activities safely. The employee
carries out the required control measures to eliminate or control the dangers. If
necessary, they should ask for help in achieving this.
An LMRA never stops. It is a continuous awareness of the steps prior to perform a task
or follow a procedure.
o Always secure the robot against falling with appropriate and certified fall arrest equipment.
When the robot does fall it is possible it will hit other objects, obstacles or humans. Any consequent
damage, injuries or cost resulting from inappropriate use and/or falling of the robot is NOT the
responsibility of VertiDrive. VertiDrive cannot be held liable for damages, injuries or costs resulting from
inappropriate use.
o Prior to usage, mark an area- with yellow/black ribbon to ensure a distance to robot of at least 6
meters. This area should not be entered without the permission of the operator.
o Ensure proper warnings by placing visual signage where necessary.
o Caution should be taken when plugging and unplugging the power supply. Appropriate and
approved power cables should be used.
o Prior to use of the VertiDrive M7 Robot, the user/operator must perform a check, see “General
Checklist start-up procedure”. Initial training of users/operators is provided by VertiDrive and or
VertiDrive certified representatives/trainers, upon delivery of a new robot.
o When additional equipment is installed on the robot the operator should be certified and or trained
to use this additional equipment.
o When using UHP equipment extra care should be taken on how to use this equipment and all
safety precautions should be taken and respected.
o Attached equipment such as UHP or blasting equipment will make noise. Always use appropriate
hearing protection.
The robot itself produces a low humming sound when only driving.
o To decrease the weight to be carried by the robot, the power cables and vacuum hose can be
attached to the winch safety line. Ensure that the safety lines can travel freely to their new
position. Ensure cables and hoses are in the correct position in relation to the robot.
During operation

o Never stand underneath the robot!!
Be aware: If robot falls it may swing towards the operator and or other people in the vicinity.

o When working on the robot extra caution should be taken to avoid direct contact between steel
tools and the magnets. Magnets are very strong and can cause injuries. The magnets will also
affect sensitive electronic and mechanic equipment like cell-phones, watches and (bank) cards
