2.6 Robot in hot environments2.6.1 Start of robot in hot environmentsIntroductionThis procedure describes how to start the robot in a hot environment. Thisprocedure must be performed the first time the robot is started in a hot environmentor if it has not been used for some time in a hot environment.There is a possibility that some overpressure has been built up in the system. Thisoverpressure must be released before starting up the robot.Releasing overpressure in gearboxesUse this procedure before the start of the robot in a hot environment to releasepotential overpressure being built up in gearboxes.NoteActionDANGERTurn off all:• electric power supply• hydraulic pressure supply• air pressure supplyto the robot, before entering the robot work-ing area.1CAUTIONBefore approaching the potentially hot robotcomponent, observe the safety informationin section CAUTION - Hot parts may causeburns! on page 25.2NoteBefore opening the oil plug, make certain thatthe oil plug is above the oil level. Place therobot accordingly.3TipHold a cloth or some paper over the oilplug while opening it to prevent surplusoil causing burns or other injuries.Open oil plug filling very carefully!NoteOpen the oil plug just enough for the overpres-sure to be released.4Let the overpressure leave the gearbox.5Refit the oil plug.6Continue releasing the overpressure on allgearboxes.7106 Product manual - IRB 26003HAC035504-001 Revision: G© Copyright 2009-2015 ABB.
