If the robot is not to be installed directly, it must be stored according to the specificationsin Storage conditions on page 39.5. Make sure the appointed operating environment of the robot conforms to thespecifications outlined in Operating conditions on page 39.6. Before taking the robot to the installation site, make sure the site conforms to Loads onfoundation on page 38, Requirements on foundation on page 39 and Protection classes onpage 39.7. When these prerequisites are met, the robot may be taken to its installation site asdescribed in Lifting of robot on page 42.Weight, robotLoads on foundationThe table below shows the different forces and torques working on the robot during variouskinds of operation.Note! These forces and torques are extreme values that are rarely encountered duringoperation.
