• Never switch off the overpressure in motors and serial measurement compartment
during cooling down of robot after it has been switched off.
• When turning off a cleaning cell we recommend that the humid air inside a cell is
ventilated out, to avoid that the humid air is sucked into gearboxes for example, due
to the raised vacuum when cooled down.
