WARNING

■

Install or relocate the Multiple Mounting Manipulator with two or more people.
The Manipulator weights are as follows. Be careful not to get hands, fingers, or
feet caught and/or have equipment damaged by a fall of the Manipulator.

G3-301*M : approx. 14 kg: 31 lb.
G3-351*M : approx. 14 kg: 31 lb.

■ When removing the Manipulator from the wall, support the Manipulator, and then

remove the anchor bolts. Removing the anchor bolts without supporting is
extremely hazardous and may result in fall of the Manipulator.

(1)

Turn OFF the power on all devices and unplug the cables.

Remove the mechanical stops if using them to limit the motion range of Joints #1 and

#2. For details on the motion range, refer to

Setup & Operation: 5.2 Motion Range

Setting by Mechanical Stops

.

(2)

Cover the arm with a sheet so that the arm will not be damaged.

Refer to the figure below and bind the shaft and arm retaining bracket on the base.

Sheet

Wire tie

Example of Arm

Retaining Posture

(3)

Hold the bottom of Arm #1 by hand to unscrew the anchor bolts. Then, remove the

Manipulator from the wall.
