Precautions for Unpacking and Transportation
Unpacking and transportation of the Manipulator and related equipment should be performed by people who have received installation training provided by Epson and the suppliers. Also, the laws and regulations of the installation country must be followed. The following items are safety precautions that must be observed.
WARNING
- When transporting the Manipulator, use a cart or the like to transport it in the same status as it was delivered. Do not transport with the end effector or peripheral equipment attached. Losing balance may cause the Manipulator to fall over, which is extremely hazardous and may result in serious injury to operators and/or severe damage.
- Only qualified personnel should perform sling work and operate a crane or a forklift. When these operations are performed by unqualified personnel, it is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury to operators and/or severe equipment damage.
- When hoisting the Manipulator, use your hands to balance it. Losing balance may cause the Manipulator to drop, which is extremely hazardous and may result in serious injury to operators and/or severe damage.
- During transport, personnel involved in the work should wear helmets and other personal protective equipment. Also, make sure there are no other people in the vicinity.
CAUTION
- Avoid excessive vibration and shocks when transporting the Manipulator. Excessive vibration and shock may cause Manipulator damage or malfunctions.
- When removing the fixing bolts securing the Manipulator to the transportation pallet or the anchor bolts, support the Manipulator to prevent it falling. Removing the fixing bolts or anchor bolts without supporting the Manipulator may cause it to fall, catching your hands or feet.
- Do not remove the cable ties securing the arm until installation is complete. Removing the cable ties may cause your hand or fingers to be caught in the Manipulator.
- To transport the Manipulator, either secure it to transporting equipment, or use the transport method and number of personnel specified in the Manipulator Manual. Do not put your hand on any areas that specify holding restrictions.
