Power-on Precautions 
Manipulator check before installation 
:  Before installing and operating the Manipulator, make sure that all parts of the 
Manipulator are in place and have no external defects.    Missing or defective 
parts may cause improper operation of the Manipulator. Improper operation 
of the Manipulator is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily 
injury and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system. 
Shipping bolts and jigs check before turning ON   
:  Before first turning ON the power, be sure to remove the shipping bolts and 
jigs from the Manipulator.    Turning ON the power while the shipping bolts 
and jigs are attached may result in equipment damage to the Manipulator. 
Power activation 
:  Anchor the Manipulator before turning ON the power to or operating the 
Manipulator.    Turning ON the power to or operating the Manipulator that is 
not anchored is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury 
and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system as the Manipulator may 
fall down
