3 Assembly & Setup

3.1 Requirements

The RO1 has the following utilities requirements:

Utility	Requirement
Electrical	90 ~ 264VAC, 47-63Hz, 15 A maximum at 120VAC.
Internet	Wi-Fi or RJ45 (Ethernet) wired connection for remote updates and support.
Floor	200 PSI capacity rating. Depending on application a floor capable of supporting lagging may be required.

3.2 Lifting the RO1

Proper lifting techniques should be observed when lifting the RO1 robot or controller. Improper lifting can cause strains, sprains, and other serious injuries to the back, neck, shoulders, and other parts of the body.

To lift properly, start by standing close to the object with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at the knees and keep your back straight as you lift with your legs, not your back. Hold the object close to your body and avoid twisting your body while lifting or carrying the object. If the object is too heavy, ask for help or use equipment such as a dolly or forklift.

Remember to always warm up before lifting and take breaks when necessary to avoid fatigue. It’s also important to wear appropriate clothing and footwear that provides adequate support.

By following these guidelines and using proper lifting techniques, you can reduce your risk of injury and stay safe while handling heavy objects.
