1 Overview
Dust, dirt, grease, and water (or other liquids) can affect wheel traction, as well as op-
eration of the drive wheels. If the drive wheels slip, it can potentially affect operating
duration, stopping distance, and navigation accuracy.
The following actions are strictly prohibited and could result in injury or damage to the
equipment.
• Riding on the AMR.
• Towing applications.
• Exceeding the maximum payload limit.
• Operating in environments with life support systems.
• Operating in residential areas.
• Operating on non-stationary areas, including moving floors or any type of land vehi-
cle, watercraft, or aircraft.
• Exceeding the maximum recommended speed, acceleration, deceleration, or rota-
tion limits. Rotational speed becomes more significant when the payload's center of
gravity is increasingly offset from the AMR's center of gravity.
• Dropping, driving off a ledge, or operating irresponsibly.
• Allowing the AMR to drive through an opening that has an automatic gate or door,
unless the door and AMR are configured correctly with the Mobile I/O Box option.
• Throwing an object in front of the AMR or suddenly stepping into the path of the
AMR. The AMR braking system cannot be expected to function as designed and
specified in such instances.
• Exposing the AMR to rain or moisture.
• Using unauthorized parts to repair the AMR.
• Powering ON the AMR without its wireless antennas in place.
• Operating the AMR in hazardous environments where there is explosive gas, an oil
mist, or a corrosive atmosphere.
• Operating the AMR in an environment that contains ionizing radiation.
• Using non-approved batteries or charging systems.
• No modification is allowed that may affect functionality unless a complete risk as-
sessment is performed. Any modifications made to the AMR can lead to loss of
safety or functionality of the AMR therefore it is the end-user's responsibility to per-
form complete risk assessment after making any modifications to the AMR, and to
confirm that all safety features of the AMR are fully functional.
• It is the end-user's responsibility to perform a task-based risk assessment and to
implement appropriate safety measures at the point of use of the AMR in accord-
ance with local regulations.
• It is the end-user's responsibility to make sure that the AMR design and implemen-
tation complies with all local standards and legal requirements.
• It is the end-user's responsibility to make sure that the AMR is operated within its
specifications, intended use, and intended environments.
• The rare-earth magnet embedded in the AMR charging contacts creates a strong
magnetic field. Magnetic fields can be hazardous if you have a medical implant.
Keep a minimum of 30 cm away from the AMR charging contacts.
• The AMR as a partly-completed machine is intended to be incorporated into other
machinery and must not be put into service until the final machinery into which it is
to be incorporated has been declared in conformity with the provisions of EC Machi-
nery Directive 2006/42/EC, where appropriate.
The assembly instructions shall then form part of the technical file for the final ma-
chine.
