Action
Before attempting to run the manipulator,
make sure all emergency stop equipment
is correctly installed and connected.
Usually the hold-to-run function is active
only in manual full speed mode. To in-
crease safety it is also possible to activate
hold-to-run for manual reduced speed with
a system parameter.
The hold-to-run function is used in manual
mode, not in automatic mode.
Make sure no personnel are present within
the working range of the manipulator be-
fore pressing the start button.
