9.2 Brake Release
If the manipulator has the brake release function enabled, it is possible to 
release the brake of the manipulator.
If the manipulator moves to an unexpected place because of system or 
operation errors, and the manipulator cannot be moved to its normal 
operating range with Limit Release function, then brake release can be 
used to move the axis of the manipulator.

YRC1000 allows releasing the brake with only one axis at the time.
1. Select {Enable} on the Brake Release.
2. Select axis to release the brake.
3. Press and hold {RELEASE BRAKES}. 
– The selected axis’ servos are off and can be manually moved.
The axes may also move due to gravitational forces.

and AUTOMATIC (PLAY) modes and is available to all 
Security Access Levels.
