Emergency procedures
In case of emergency (e.g. fire, spillage, etc.) or when instructed to do so by
this guide, and provided that it is safe to do so, you should immediately
MAKE THE EQUIPMENT SAFE
as follows (perform only applicable steps):
◦
Use the local circuit breaker to withdraw power from the outlet into which
the charger is plugged.
◦
Disconnect the charger from the outlet.
◦
De-power the robot immediately by rapidly cycling the power switch
through the emergency sequence “OFF→ON→OFF”.
◦
Disconnect the charging cable from the robot.
◦
Disconnect and remove the battery pack from inside the robot.
◦
Move all equipment to a place of safety such as outside well away from
people, animals, or property.
If there is no immediate risk to safety, you can turn the robot off underneath
and wait for a normal shutdown before disconnecting the charger and
removing the battery pack.
◦
If the robot fails to shutdown in the usual way, leave the switch off and
power will be withdrawn automatically after two minutes. Please note
that during this two minute period the robot may be able to move.
Proceed to disconnect the charger and remove the battery pack.
◦
To de-power the robot immediately, rapidly cycle the power switch
through the emergency sequence “OFF→ON→OFF”.
Since emergency procedures may require removing the battery pack, you
should have the necessary tools close to hand when working with the robot.
Practice these procedures in advance to ensure you can complete them
safely and quickly if required to do so in an emergency.
You should always follow your local security and emergency procedures
before following advice in this document that is specific to the robot.
General advice
The robot is safe for use only by persons who have been given instructions
concerning its safe use and who understand the hazards it poses and who
are prioritizing safety above all else. Please take safety seriously!
