WARNING
Lithium battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if
they are abused electrically or mechanically.
Observe the following precautions when handling and using lithium batteries:
•Do not short-circuit, recharge or connect with false polarity.
•Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or
incinerate the battery.
•Do not crush, puncture or disassemble the battery. The battery contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to
generate heat, explode or ignite.
•Do not allow the battery to get wet.
•In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub
the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left
untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
•Use only the original charger (cable charger or charging station) and
always follow the instructions from the battery manufacturer.
2.3 Intended use
MiR500Lift is a partly completed machine as defined in the EU machinery directive and
does not have a CE mark. A correctly installed MiR500Lift is covered by the CE mark of
MiR500. However, a CE marked product does not guarantee a CE marked setup. It is the
responsibility of the integrator to safely commission MiR500Lift.
MiR500Lift is designed for MiR500. MiR500Lift is only intended to be used as described in
this operating guidetransport pallets that do not extend the footprint of MiR500 and loaded
according to the Payload Specifications defined in the MiR500 Userguide.
NOTICE
A safe machine does not guarantee a safe system. Follow the Commissioning
guide to ensure safe commissioning.
MiR500Lift is intended to be commissioned indoor in a light industrial environment where
public access is restricted. For detailed description of the environment in which the robot
should operate, see technical specifications on our website.

1. Remove the two middle compartment plates on the top cover of MiR500.
2. Unscrew the four bolts from the lifting device.

3. Getting started
MiR500Lift Operating guide (en) 10/2019 - v.1.3 ©Copyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 15
3. Screw in four lifting eye bolts in the holes where you just removed the four bolts.
4. Use a crane to move the lifting device to the robot.

3. Getting started
MiR500Lift Operating guide (en) 10/2019 - v.1.3 ©Copyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 16
5. Remove the cables from the bag. Notice that there are two cables for the right side and
two cables for the left side of the lifting device. Feed the right-side cables through the
hole on the right side and vice versa with the left side.
6. Connect the plugs of the right-side cables with the socket in the right-side compartment
of MiR500. These are the power (1) and GPIO (2)connections. Repeat the process for the
plugs and sockets on the left side.
When connecting the plugs, make sure to turn the plug to the left to open
the plug and to the right to close it once connected to its socket. The plugs
only fit with one socket each, so it is not possible to connect them incor-
rectly.

Fixing MiR500Lift to MiR500
When fixing MiR500Lift to MiR500, it is important to check that no cables are pinched
between the devices. To avoid this, use cable ties to keep the cables collected.
1. Lower the lift onto the robot.
2. Dismount the crane, remove the lifting eye bolts, and remove the crane.

3. Getting started

6. Put the lift cover on the lifting device using suction cups.
7. Screw in all twenty screws to fix the cover to the lifting device. Ensure the screws are
plane with the lift cover.
If you are having difficulty screwing in the short screws, start by using a
long screw to make the others easier to screw in.Remember to replace
the long screw with a short one when you are finished.
