DANGER

to the robot, before entering the robot
working area.
WARNING
Handling gearbox oil involves several
safety risks, see Gearbox lubricants (oil or
grease) on page 32.
CAUTION
The gearbox can contain an excess of
pressure that can be hazardous. Open the
oil plug carefully in order to let out the ex-
cess pressure.
Remove the plug from the ventilation hole.
WARNING
If the ventilation hole is not open when the
oil dispenser is working, there is a risk of
damaging vital parts in the gear!
Remove the protection cap from the nipple
of the oil draining plug and connect the oil
dispenser.
