Description
In an emergency situation, any of the manipulator's axes may be released manually
by pushing the brake release buttons on the manipulator.
How to release the brakes is detailed in the section:
The manipulator arm may be moved manually on smaller manipulator models, but
larger models may require using an overhead crane or similar equipment.
Increased injury
Before releasing the brakes, make sure that the weight of the arms does not
increase the pressure on the trapped person, further increasing any injury!
