6.2 Scrapping of robotImportant when scrapping the robotDANGERWhen a robot is disassembled while being scrapped, it is very important toremember the following before disassembling starts, in order to prevent injuries:• Always remove all batteries. If a battery is exposed to heat, for examplefrom a blow torch, it will explode.• Always remove all oil/grease in gearboxes. If exposed to heat, for examplefrom a blow torch, the oil/grease will catch fire.• When motors are removed from the robot, the robot will collapse if it is notproperly supported before the motor is removed.Product manual - IRB 1600/1660 3713HAC026660-001 Revision: W© Copyright 2006-2018 ABB.
