•Press the emergency stop button when robot operation is not required during the electrical system inspection.
•Use only lubricant designated by YAMAHA or your dealer.
•Use only parts designated by YAMAHA or your dealer when replacing parts. Make sure that foreign matter does not enter the robot during adjustment, part replacement or reassembly.
•Never modify the robot or controller, etc. Modifications may result in improper specifications and may threaten operator safety.
•Always tighten the bolts and screws securely after completing adjust- ments or inspections.
•During robot adjustment or inspection, place a sign indicating that the robot is being adjusted or inspected, to prevent others from touching the switches. Provide a switch key lock mechanism or assign a moni- tor if necessary.
