Safety Information for Relocation and Storage
Observe the following when relocating, storing, and transporting the Manipulators.
The robot and related equipment must be installed by a personnel who has received installation training conducted by Epson or its suppliers. Also, the laws and regulations of the installation country must be followed.
WARNING
- Only authorized personnel should perform sling work and operate a crane and a forklift. When these operations are performed by unauthorized personnel, it is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system.
- Stabilize the Manipulator with your hands when hoisting it. Unstable hoisting is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or severe equipment damage such as the fall of the Manipulator.
CAUTION
When removing the fixing bolts, support the Manipulator to prevent it from falling. Removing the fixing bolts without supporting the Manipulator may cause it to fall, catching your hands or feet.
The Manipulator should be transported by two or more people or secured to transporting equipment. Also, do not hold the bottom of the base (the shaded area in the figure). Holding these parts by hand is extremely hazardous and may cause your hands and fingers to get caught.

Excessive vibration or shock may cause equipment damage and/or malfunction of the Manipulator.When transporting the Manipulator over long distances, secure it directly to transporting equipment so that it will not fall. If necessary, pack the Manipulator using the same packaging as delivery.
Be sure to transport and store the robot system in an environment that meets the following conditions:
| Item | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Ambient temperature * | -20 to 60° |
| Ambient relative humidity | 10 to 90% (with no condensation) |
During unpacking and relocation, avoid applying external force to the arms and motors of the Manipulator.
When the Manipulator is used for a robot system again after a long-term storage, perform a test run to verify that it works properly, and then operate it thoroughly.
When condensation occurs on the Manipulator during transportation or storage, turn ON the power only after the condensation dries.
