- Page 6 80 robotic nozzle is capable of withstanding a nozzle reaction force of at least twenty thousand (20,000) Newtons (2000 kgf). The FORCE 80 robotic nozzle should not be used on a portable stand of any kind, as such use can be extremely dangerous and can result in Serious Injury or Death.
- Page 7 KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE DURING OPERATION AND MOVEMENT. The FORCE 80 robotic nozzle has moving parts. Be sure to keep a safe distance from the robotic nozzle as it moves and keep hands and fingers away from pinch points to avoid injury.
- Page 8 ONLY USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE IN CASE OF TRUE EMERGENCY & POWER FAILURE. The manual override controls on the FORCE 80 are not designed for normal operation and should only be used in the case of extreme emergency and when the remote control feature is not working sufficiently to control the robotic nozzle by means of the electronic controls.

Page 20: Maintenance Of The Force 80 With Bldc Motors
The worm gears must normally never be greased. We recommend not ever greasing the gears unless specifically recommended to do so by Unifire AB on an individual, case-by- case basis. If Unifire recommends greasing, then be sure to follow Unifire’s instructions, including by using the proper type of grease (Mobilith SHC460) and make sure to open the grease evacuation plug. -
