Chapter 2: Safety
2.1 What to Do in an Emergency or Abnormal Situation
Press the E-Stop button (a red push-button on a yellow background) and then follow the
internal procedures of your company or organization for an emergency situation. If a fire
occurs, use a type ABC or type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher.
Releasing the Brakes
In case of an emergency or abnormal situation, the AMR can be manually moved. However,
only qualified personnel who have read and understood the robot user manual and the Mobile
Robot LD Safety Guide (Cat. No. I616) should manually move the platform. The brakes on the
drive wheels can be released with the brake release button. This requires battery power, and an
E-Stop must be pressed on the robot.
