The robots must be always stored and shipped in an upright orientation. Do not lay the
crate on the side or another position. A different position other than standing on the robot
base could damage the robot.
Place forklift or pallet-jack here.

Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment
Compare the actual items received (not just the packing slip) with your equipment
purchase order and verify that all items are present and that the shipment is correct.
Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is
evident, contact Adept at the numbers listed at the end of Chapter 1.
Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may become necessary to settle
claims or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.
2.8
Repackaging For Relocation
If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation
procedures that follow this section. Re-use all original packing containers and materials
and follow all safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will
void your warranty. Before unbolting the robot from the mounting base, fold the outer
arm against the Joint 2 hardstops to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must
always be shipped in an upright orientation; specify this to the carrier if the robot has to
be shipped.
