Action
Run roundslings through the lifting eyes
and fasten them in the adjustable lifting
chain in an overhead crane. Adjust the
length of the lifting tools.
Make sure the roundslings do not rub
against any sharp edges.
Note
Run the roundslings as shown in the fig-
ure:
• roundslings fitted to the lifting eyes
on the frame, on the inside of the
balancing devices shafts
• roundslings fitted to the lifting eyes
on the counter weight, on the out-
side of the balancing devices.
CAUTION
If the lifting eyes have sharp edges that
might damage the roundslings, lifting
shackles must be used to attach the
roundslings to the lifting eyes.
Stretch the roundslings to take the weight
of the robot.
WARNING
Personnel must not, under any circum-
stances, be present under the suspended
load.
Use caution and raise the overhead crane
