Hazards related to batteries
Under rated conditions, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte in the batteries
are sealed and not exposed to the outside.
There is a hazard in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical) which leads
to the activation of safety valves and/or the rupture of the battery container. As a
result under certain circumstances, electrolyte leakage, electrode materials reaction
with moisture/water or battery vent/explosion/fire may follow.
Do not short circuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge
or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the
product. Risk of fire or explosion.
Operating temperatures are listed in
See safety instructions for the batteries in Material/product safety data
sheet - Battery pack (3HAC043118-001).

Description
Overfilling of gearbox lubricant
can lead to internal over-pres-
sure inside the gearbox which in
turn may:
• damage seals and gas-
kets
• completely press out
seals and gaskets
• prevent the robot from
moving freely.
Mixing types of oil may cause
severe damage to the gearbox.
Warm oil drains quicker than
cold oil.
The specified amount of oil or
grease is based on the total
volume of the gearbox. When
changing the lubricant, the
amount refilled may differ from
the specified amount, depending
on how much has previously
been drained from the gearbox.
For lifetime reasons always drain
as much oil as possible from the
gearbox. The magnetic oil plugs
will gather residual metal chips.

Elimination/Action
Make sure not to overfill the
gearbox when filling it with oil or
grease.
After filling, verify that the level
is correct.
When filling gearbox oil, do not
mix different types of oil unless
specified in the instructions. Al-
ways use the type of oil specified
for the product.
Run the robot before changing
the gearbox oil, if possible.
After filling, verify that the level
is correct.
