2.2.1. Pre-installation procedure
General
These instructions are to be used when unpacking and installing the robot for the first time.
They also contain information useful later during re-installation of the robot.
Checking the pre-requisites for installation
The check-list below details what must be observed before proceeding with the actual
installation of the robot:
1. Make sure only qualified installation personnel conforming to all national and local codes
are allowed to perform the installation.
2. Make sure the robot is not damaged, by visually inspecting it.
3. Make sure the lifting device to be used is fit to handle the weight of the robot as specified
in Weight, robot on page 38.
4. If the robot is not to be installed directly, it must be stored according to the specifications
in Storage conditions on page 39.
5. Make sure the appointed operating environment of the robot conforms to the
specifications outlined in Operating conditions on page 39.
6. Before taking the robot to the installation site, make sure the site conforms to Loads on
foundation on page 38, Requirements on foundation on page 39 and Protection classes on
page 39.
7. When these prerequisites are met, the robot may be taken to its installation site as
described in Lifting of robot on page 42.

Loads on foundation
The table below shows the different forces and torques working on the robot during various
kinds of operation.
Note! These forces and torques are extreme values that are rarely encountered during
operation. The values also never simultaneously reach their maximum!
