5.4.4 Options for moving the manipulator without drive energy
Description
The following options are available for moving the manipulator without drive
energy after an accident or malfunction:

Release device (optional)
The release device can be used for the main axis drive motors and, de-
pending on the robot variant, also for the wrist axis drive motors.

Brake release device (option)
The brake release device is designed for robot variants whose motors are
not freely accessible.

Moving the wrist axes directly by hand
There is no release device available for the wrist axes of variants in the low
payload category. This is not necessary because the wrist axes can be
moved directly by hand.
5.4.5 Labeling on the industrial robot
All plates, labels, symbols and marks constitute safety-relevant parts of the in-
dustrial robot. They must not be modified or removed.
Labeling on the industrial robot consists of:

Identification plates

Warning signs

Safety symbols

Designation labels

Cable markings

Rating plates
This option is not available for the KR C4. This option is not available
for all robot models. Information on specific robot models can be ob-
tained from KUKA Roboter GmbH.
The system user is responsible for ensuring that the training of per-
sonnel with regard to the response to emergencies or exceptional sit-
uations also includes how the manipulator can be moved without
drive energy.
Information about the options available for the various robot models
and about how to use them can be found in the assembly and oper-
ating instructions for the robot or requested from KUKA Roboter
GmbH.
Moving the manipulator without drive energy can dam-
age the motor brakes of the axes concerned. The motor
must be replaced if the brake has been damaged. The manipulator may
therefore be moved without drive energy only in emergencies, e.g. for rescu-
ing persons.
Further information is contained in the technical data of the operating
instructions or assembly instructions of the components of the indus-
trial robot.
