■ Before relocating the Manipulator, fold the arm and secure it tightly with a wire tie
to prevent hands or fingers from being caught in the Manipulator.
■ When removing the anchor bolts, support the Manipulator to prevent falling.

the main cable fitting, and the bottom of the base by hand. When holding the
bottom of the base by hand, be very careful not to get hands or fingers caught.
■ Stabilize the Manipulator with your hands when hoisting it. Unstable hoisting is
extremely hazardous and may result in fall of the Manipulator.
When transporting the Manipulator for a long distance, secure it to the delivery
equipment so that the Manipulator cannot fall.
If necessary, pack the Manipulator in the same way as it was delivered.
When the Manipulator is used for a robot system again after long-term storage,
perform a test run to verify that it works properly, and then operate it thoroughly.
Transport and store the Manipulator in the range of −25 deg.C to +55 deg.C.
Humidity within 10% to 90% is recommended.
When condensation occurs on the Manipulator during transport or storage, turn
ON the power only after the condensation dries.
Do not shock or shake the Manipulator during transport.
