1.3.3 Emergency release of the manipulator's arm
Description In an emergency situation, any of the manipulator's axes may be released manually by push-
ing the brake release buttons on the manipulator or on an optional external brake release unit.
How to release the brakes is detailed in section Manually releasing the brakes in the Product
manual for the manipulator.
The manipulator arm may be moved manually on smaller robot models, but larger models
may require using an overhead crane or similar.
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!
