1 Safety 1-1-3 Dangers 1-1 Safety Precautions DANGER The AMR can cause serious injury to personnel or damage to itself or other equipment if it drives off of a ledge, such as a loading dock, or down stairs. 1 Improper operation of the AMR on inclined floors that do not comply with the applicable operating specifications can result in the AMR tipping over, and consequently a serious personal injury. 1-1-3 Dangers The end-user of the AMR must perform a risk assessment to identify and mitigate any additional personal and property damage hazards caused by the payload.
1-1-4 Warnings WARNING Implementing methods to circumvent the need for a person to enable the AMR's motor power at start-up is prohibited. Equipment used to lift the AMR must be adequately rated. It is the end user's responsibil- ity to review lifting equipment and apply appropriate safety factors before lifting. Do not attempt to lift the AMR from the bottom with a forklift or similar devices. Doing so could damage the AMR. When working near the encoder cables, take care not to disconnect or damage them. Improper connection or disconnection of encoder cables may result in erratic motion of the AMR during operation.
Operating the AMR with damaged, disconnected, or improp- erly connected encoder signals can cause potentially hazardous uncommanded rotation. 1-3 AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) MD-series Platform Safety and Unpacking Guide (I682) General
