2.1 Lifting the manipulator and controller

If the integrated lifting ears on the front cannot be reached, the manipulator must be
reoriented to the sync position (applicable to versions 2.8-120 and 3.0-75 only).
The best way to lift the manipulator is to use four lifting straps of similar length with
hooks and a traverse crane. Attach the straps to the integrated lifting eyes on both
sides of the frame (see Figure 1). The lifting strap dimensions must comply with the
applicable standards for lifting. It is also possible to use two lifting devices (option)
for use with a fork lift truck (see Figure 2).
The following lifting instructions are valid for a "naked" robot. Whenever
additional equipment is put on the robot, the centre of gravity can change and
make lifting dangerous.
Never walk under a suspended load.
