1.2.3.3. Emergency release of the manipulator’s arm
Description
In an emergency situation, any of the manipulator's axes may be released manually by
pushing the brake release buttons on the manipulator.
How to release the brakes is detailed in the section:
•
Manually releasing the brakes on page 71
The manipulator arm may be moved manually on smaller manipulator models, but larger
models may require using an overhead crane or similar equipment.
Increased injury
Before releasing the brakes, make sure that the weight of the arms does not increase the
pressure on the trapped person, further increasing any injury!
