1.2.3.2 CAUTION - Hot parts may cause burns!
Description
During normal operation, many manipulator parts become hot, especially the drive
motors and gears. Sometimes areas around these parts also become hot. Touching
these may cause burns of various severity.
Because of a higher environment temperature, more surfaces on the manipulator
get hot and may result in burns.
Elimination
The instructions below detail how to avoid the dangers specified above:
Info Action
Always use your hand, at some distance, to
feel if heat is radiating from the potentially
hot component before actually touching it. 1
Wait until the potentially hot component has
cooled if it is to be removed or handled in any
other way. 2
