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.
