For safe usage of this product, the following pictographs are used:
Indicates, “HANDLE WITH CARE.” In order to protect the human body and
equipment, this display is attached to places where the User Manual should be
referred.
Indicates a “Protecti e Earth Terminal.” Before operating the equipment, make sure
the equipment is connected to the Earth Terminal (Ground Potential)
(This step may be omitted for products in which a power cord with earth wire is
used.)
● Per orm work in accordance with the instructions herein stated.
Instructions for the machine installation are explained by paying attention to the aspect of the
accident pre ention iews. Failing to perform work as per the instructions can cause accidents.
Only those who ha e technical expertise should perform the work to a oid hazardous situations,
the instructions herein state that the electrically and electronically qualified ser icemen should
perform such work on Mini Rider #2, which is designed to performed electromechanical functions
on a 3 DOF platform. (3 DOF = 3 x Degree of Freedom)
● Mains Power must be switched OFF be ore working on the machine.
To pre ent any electric shock, please turn OFF the mains power before starting the maintenance
work. If the work is to be performed during the power-on, then the qualified ser ice engineer
should follow the detailed technical & engineering Instructions from the Ser ice Manual.
● Make sure the Earth Terminal is at the Ground Potential (this is not required where a power cord is
build with an earth wire) This product is fitted with the Earth Terminal, therefore please connect that to
the “indoor earth terminal” by using the earth wire which will a oid any electric shock. After
performing repair of the Control equipment, ensure that the Earth Wire is firmly connected and
measure the Earth Bond Resistance with your test meter and the readings must be recoreded.

● It is important that the Power Supply used is itted with an “Earth Leakage Breaker”
Mini Rider #2 (MR #2) does not incorporate the Earth Leakage Breaker.
● Please use 20 Ampere “D” type MCB which will handle the surge current (Start up
Current)
Re er to Page (7) or detailed in ormation o “D” type MCB and why you must use 20A / “D” MCB
Using standard fuses exceeding the specified rating can cause a fire and electric shock.
● Speci ication changes by third party developers are NOT Allowed. Re-locating o the
machinery parts with in MR #2, and carry out Conversions, Modi ications o MR #2 with
out the consent o Simuline are also not allowed.
All the mo ing and static parts of the MR #2 include warning labels for safety and designed
related co ers for personal protection, etc. It is ery hazardous to operate the MR #2 by
