GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NO.04/13 FOR REMOTE-CONTROLLED, BATTERY-OPERATED
TRANSPORT SYSTEM ROBOT 20
ALWAYS KEEP THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CLOSE AT HAND
WHEN ROBOT IS IN USE!
Dear customer,
always read this guide carefully before using your transport dolly
for the first time!
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The specifications of the German Accident Prevention
Regulations (UVV) BGV D 27 always apply
Safety area: This includes the load, the area immediately
around the load as well as an appropriately large additional
distance such that no damage to property or personal injury
can arise if the heavy load tips. The operating personnel must
ensure that no unauthorized people are located in the safety
area!
You must never have parts of your body, such as your hands
arms or feet under the load!
You must pay attention to protruding parts and attachments to
avoid head injuries, for example!
Operating personnel must always wear safety shoes with steel
toecaps!
The operating personnel must receive appropriate orientation.

SPECIAL SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NO.04/13 FOR REMOTE-CONTROLLED, BATTERY-OPERATED
TRANSPORT SYSTEM ROBOT 20
SPECIAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Before deploying the GKS-Perfekt transport dolly Type ROBOT 20, you must check the weight of the
load to be lifted and the condition of the floor. Apart from this, you must comply with the accident
prevention regulations that apply at the place of use.
Use only for factory-internal transportation
Protect the equipment from wet or damp conditions
Before using the dolly and the drive modules, check them for visible defects
Do not overload the transport dollies and the steering dollies, even with a off-centre load you must
not exceed the permissible maximum capacity load of the individual steering dollies
Only use the transport and steering dollies on firm, level surfaces
On non-level surfaces, the dollies and the objects to be lifted must be firmly connected to one
another – there are threaded holes in the supporting surfaces of the dollies.
There is no braking equipment installed in the dollies; when parking on sloping surfaces, you must
secure the dollies from rolling away
No travel on upward or downward slopes
Dollies must always stand parallel to one another and to the heavy load.
Never use F-dollies without a connecting bar! If you use the device without a connecting bar, this
can damage the rollers!
Check whether there is other radio remote-controlled equipment in the vicinity
It is absolutely forbidden to ride on the material being transported!
The operator must always be within line of sight of the load.
In unclear situations, there must be another person present to act as a pathfinder.
If work is interrupted, you must switch off the main switches on the drive modules.
All liability claims in the case of damage to property or personal injury are excluded if this is due to
one or more of the following causes:
Noncompliance with the information in the Operating Instructions and in the Accident Prevention
Regulations
Unauthorized structural changes
Inadequate monitoring of parts that are subject to wear
Repairs that are carried out incorrectly
Inappropriate use of the propulsion modules or the transport and steering dollies

Observe the section entitled "Control"! (Page 17)
LOADING (Figure A / B)
Determine the weight of the load
Choose a suitable toe jack
We recommend our GKS-PERFEKT hydraulic jacks
Set the fixed dolly to the necessary distance
Raise the heavy cargo at the back and supporting
Push the movable transport dolly (nondriven) under
the material to be lifted.
Do not reach under the suspended load!
The supporting plates of the dollies must not protrude
over the edges of the heavy cargo.
Place the heavy cargo on slowly and not in a shocklike
way
If the floor is uneven, secure the dollies from rolling
away before placing the next toe jack in position
Raise the heavy cargo at the front
Push the steering dolly under the material to be lifted.
Do not reach under the suspended load!
You must push the steering dollies swivel top in the
centre below the heavy cargo.

COMMISSIONING
COMMISSIONING B-C
Unlock EMERGENCY stop
Switch on the remote control
Choose the running step (3 or 6 m/min)
Traverse the heavy cargo using both direction of travel
and speed controllers taking into account all the safety
information.
You must keep to this order!
The first time you push the button, you must check
whether there is a mutual influence to or from other
radio remote-controlled devices. If there is, you must
immediately switch off the radio remote-control
transmitter (using the stop switch). If you switch on
again, the system automatically chooses a different
frequency.
Never leave the transmitter unsupervised during
operation and prevent unauthorized persons from
operating it!

Special Safety Information on the
Rechargeable Battery
Special safety information on the rechargeable battery:
Use the rechargeable battery for its intended purpose only.
When charging, use only our charger that is supplied with sets; maximum charging current
5A, we accept no liability whatsoever for any other chargers.
Only use the rechargeable batteries in a housing.
You are prohibited from opening or working on the housing or the rechargeable battery.
You must not deform the housing or the rechargeable battery.
Only authorized specialists are allowed to carry out installation.
You are prohibited from short-circuiting the rechargeable battery.
You must not throw the rechargeable battery.
Do not allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with liquids.
Keep the rechargeable battery away from sources of heat (keep out of direct sunlight), do not
put it in a fire.
Dispose of the battery at battery collection facilities.
The product is not edible.
Store the product away from children aged less than 12.
Charging/discharging:Lithium Polymer (LiPo) rechargeable batteries represent a new
technical standard. LiPo rechargeable batteries are particularly sensitive to being over- or under-
charged. This means that our rechargeable batteries are fitted with an electronic LiPo Power
Management System. This protective module prevents the LiPo cells from being over- or under-
charged; this means that you must under no circumstances remove this module, since this would
mean that safe operation could no longer be guaranteed.
You must only ever charge the rechargeable battery under supervision, on a non-flammable, non-
conductive, and heat-resistant surface!.
Misuse, such as using the wrong charger, breaking the battery, damaging the battery or deformation,
can result in danger of explosions, fire, smoke, and contamination. The maximum charge current
is 5A.
Balancer:A balancer is integrated in the LiPo Power Management System. This guarantees that,
after charging, all the cells are matched to the same voltage level. This means that your rechargeable
battery will have excellent yield capacity over a long service life.
Storage:Charge the rechargeable battery to approximately 50% of capacity. Check the charge
status about every 2-3 months; store it in a cool dry place at room temperature.
Extinguishing information:
You must extinguish burning LiPo rechargeable batteries using extinguishing powder, sand or similar
extinguishants. Never use water, since the lithium that is contained in the LiPo cell reacts with the
water. This can result in an explosion or similar.
