1.2.4.3 Emergency release of the manipulator's arm

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!
