provided. Do not attempt to extend the robot’s links until the robot has
been secured in position. Failure to comply could result in the robot fall-
ing and causing either personnel injury or equipment damage.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE RISK
Always use at least two people when lifting the robot. Do not attempt to
extend robot arm until you have firmly secured the robot in position.
Failure to comply could result in the robot falling and causing either per-
sonnel injury or equipment damage.
4. Slowly lower the robot, align the base with the tapped holes in the mounting surface
and dowel pins, if used.
NOTE:
The robot’s base is aluminum and can dent easily if bumped against a
harder surface.
5. To eliminate the risk of toppling, screw in one bolt, finger-tight.
6. Verify that the robot's base is squarely mounted (cannot rock back and forth) before
inserting and tightening the remaining mounting bolts.
7. Install the user-supplied mounting bolts and washers. Tighten bolts to the torque spe-
cified in Robot Mounting Torque on page 37.
WARNING: TOPPLE INJURY HAZARD
The robot's center of mass can cause the robot to fall over if the robot is
not secured with the mounting bolts.
