1.3.1 Protective stop and emergency stop
1.3 Robot stopping functions
Robot stopping functions

The robot has an emergency stop function and at least one protective stop function.
These functions have provision for the connection of external emergency stops
and protective devices.
The emergency stop function is a complementary protective measure and shall
not be applied as a substitute for safeguarding measures or safety functions.
The stop categories can be re-configured as defined by standards EN ISO
10218-1:2011 and IEC 60204-1:2016.
Emergency stop and protective stop functions are activated through dedicated
safety inputs or safety protocols.
For example, an output from a safety rated presence sensing device output can
be connected to a safety input on the robot controller. This is to initiate a protective
stop of the robot.
Stop categories
Stop category 0 As defined in IEC 60204-1, stopping by immediate removal of

power to the machine actuators.
Stop category 1 As defined in IEC 60204-1, a controlled stop with power avail-
able to the machine actuators to achieve the stop and then re-
moval of power when the stop is achieved.
Stop category 2 As defined in IEC 60204-1, a controlled stop with power remain-
ing available to the machine actuators.
Safety inputs to initiate a protective stop or an emergency stop

Protective stop and emergency stop inputs will initiate a stop, selectable of category
0 or category 1.
Safety inputs to initiate a Description
stop
Emergency stop (ES) The Emergency Stop is operational in both automatic and
manual mode.
The default configuration is stop category 0. For deviations,
see the product manual for the manipulator.
Protective Stop configured The safety input Automatic Stop is only operational in automatic
as Automatic stop (AS) mode.
The default configuration is stop category 1.
Protective Stop configured The safety input General Stop is operational in both manual
as General Stop (GS) i mode and automatic mode.
The default configuration is stop category 1.
i Configuration to select General Stop, for example, protective stop in both manual mode and
automatic mode, is not released.

er Function
Automatic Stop Category1AS Category1AS can be used to configure the protective
stop in automatic mode either as stop category 0 or
category 1. The default configuration is TRUE (stop
category 1).
Emergency Stop Category1ES i Category1ES is used to configure the emergency stop
in automatic and manual mode. The default configura-
tion is FALSE (stop category 0). The input is connected
to the emergency stop on the FlexPendant and can
also be connected to external devices.
i In RobotWare 7.0 there are two values for the safety input Emergency Stop, named Category1EES
(for external emergency stop) and Category1LES (for emergency stop on FlexPendant). These are
merged in RobotWare 7.1 into Category1ES.

1.3.2 About emergency stops
1.3.2 About emergency stops
The emergency stops

The purpose of the emergency stop function is to avert actual or impending
emergency situations arising from the behavior of persons or from an unexpected
hazardous event.
The emergency stop function is to be initiated by a single human action.
The emergency stop function is a complementary protective measure and shall
not be applied as a substitute for safeguarding measures and other functions or
safety functions.

1.3.3 Enabling device and hold-to-run functionality
Three-position enabling device
CAUTION
The person using the three-position enabling device is responsible to observe

the safeguarded area for hazards due to robot motion and any other hazards
controlled by the robot.
The three-position enabling device is a manually operated, constant pressure
push-button which, when in center-enabled position, allows potentially hazardous
functions.
The three-position enabling device will when continuously held in center-enabled
position permit robot motion and any hazards controlled by the robot. Release of
or compression past the center-enabled position will stop the hazard, for example,
robot motion.
CAUTION
For safe use of the three-position enabling device, the following must be
implemented:
• The three-position enabling device must never be rendered inoperational
in any way.
• If there is a need to enter safeguarded space, always bring the three-position
enabling device. This is to enforce single point of control.
CAUTION
The single point of control cannot be guaranteed in automatic mode. External

clients cannot be denied access.
CAUTION
On the IRB 14050, the three-position enabling device is not active unless a valid
SafeMove configuration is active in the controller.
CAUTION
A protective stop in manual mode does not exist.
Hold-to-run function in manual full speed mode

The hold-to-run function for manual full speed allows movement in conjunction
with the three-position enabling device when the button connected to the function
is actuated manually. This hold-to-run function can only be used in manual full

1.4.1 About the manual mode
1.4 Robot operating modes
The manual mode

Manual mode is a control state that allows for the direct control by an operator.
The operator will through positioning the three-position enabling switch to the
center-position allow for movement of the manipulator.
There are two manual modes:
• Manual reduced speed mode
• Manual high speed mode (optional)
Safeguard mechanisms
• Protective stops through
- Three-position enabling switch
The manual reduced speed mode

In manual reduced speed mode the movement of the TCP is limited to 250 mm/s.
In addition, there is a limitation on the maximum allowed speed for each axis.
This mode is used for jogging, teaching, programming and program verification of
the robot; it may be the mode selected when performing some maintenance tasks.
Manual control of the robot from inside the safeguarded space shall be performed
at the reduced speed in conjunction with the TPU consisting of the three position
enabling switch.
WARNING
Wherever possible, the manual mode of operation shall be performed with all
persons outside the safeguarded space.

2.3 The unit is sensitive to ESD
2.3 The unit is sensitive to ESD
Description
ESD (electrostatic discharge) is the transfer of electrical static charge between two
bodies at different potentials, either through direct contact or through an induced
electrical field. When handling parts or their containers, personnel not grounded
may potentially transfer high static charges. This discharge may destroy sensitive
electronics.
Safe handling
Use one of the following alternatives:
• Use a wrist strap. The wrist strap button is located inside the controller.
Wrist straps must be tested frequently to ensure that they are not damaged
and are operating correctly.
• Use an ESD protective floor mat.
The mat must be grounded through a current-limiting resistor.
• Use a dissipative table mat.
The mat should provide a controlled discharge of static voltages and must
be grounded.

2.4 Handling of FlexPendant
Detached FlexPendant
A FlexPendant that is not connected to the robot or robot system cannot initiate
emergency stops or protective stops. This must be stored out of reach and sight
so that it cannot be mistaken for being in use.
Handling and cleaning

• The FlexPendant may only be used for the purposes mentioned in this
manual.
• Always use the hand-strap while holding the FlexPendant.
• Handle with care. Do not drop, throw, or give the FlexPendant strong shock.
It can cause breakage or failure.
• If the FlexPendant is subjected to shock, always verify that the safety
functions (three-position enabling device and emergency stop) work and are
not damaged.
• Always use and store the FlexPendant in such a way that the cable does not
become a tripping hazard.
• When not using the device, place it so it does not accidentally fall.
• Never use sharp objects (such as screwdriver or pen) for operating the touch
screen. This could damage the touch screen. Instead use your finger or a
stylus.
• Never clean the FlexPendant with solvents, scouring agent, or scrubbing
sponges.
See the product manual for the robot controller, section Cleaning the
FlexPendant.
• Always close the protective cap on the USB port when no USB device is
connected. The port can break or malfunction if exposed to dirt or dust.
CAUTION
The FlexPendant touch screen is made of glass. If the device is dropped on a

hard surface or receives a significant impact the glass could break. To reduce
the risk of cuts if the glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove
the broken glass.
Cabling and power supply

• Make sure that nobody trips over the cable to prevent the device from falling
to the ground.
• Do not squeeze and thus damage the cable.
• Do not lay the cable over sharp edges.
Custom connections for FlexPendant

Any means of connecting the FlexPendant with other than the supplied cable and
its standard connector must not render the emergency stop button inoperative.

3.5.2 Connecting cables to the controller
General
A good and proper electrical installation of the robot system is necessary to ensure
the best performance and prolong the lifetime of the whole robot system.
This section includes important information on how to connect cables and signals
to the controller.
Signal classes
Different rules apply to the different classes when selecting and laying cables.
Signals from different classes must not be mixed.
Signal class Description
Power signals Supplies external motors and brakes.
Class 4 (noisy) Applies to the cables associated with the power inputs and outputs
of variable speed drives. Cables carrying strongly interfering signals
such as motor cables, DC-link load sharing, unsuppressed inductive
loads, DC motors, welding equipment, etc.
Control signals Digital operating and data signals (digital I/O, protective stop, etc.).
Class 3 (slightly Applies to cables carrying slightly interfering signals: AC power
noisy) supply (<1 kV), DC power (24 V), power to equipment with RFI/EMI
filters, control circuits with resistive or suppressed inductive loads
(such as contactors and solenoids), direct-on-line induction motors,
etc.
Measurement signals Analog measurement and control signals (resolver and analog I/O).
Class 2 (slightly sens- This class covers ordinary analogue signals such as analogue sig-
itive) nals (4-20 mA, 0-10V, or signals below 1 MHz), low-speed digital
signals (RS232, RS485), digital (on/off) signals, limit switches, en-
coders, etc.
Data communication Gateway (fieldbus) connection, computer link.
signals Applies to cables carrying very sensitive signals. Signals with a full-
Class 1 (sensitive) scale range less than 1 V or 1 mA, and/or a source impedance >1
kOhm, and/or a signal frequency >1 Mhz. For example high-speed
digital communication (Ethernet), thermocouples, thermistors, strain
gauges and flowmeters.
Selecting cables
All cables laid in the control cabinet must be capable of withstanding 70°C. In
addition, the following rules apply to the cables of certain signal classes:
Signal class Cable type
Power signals Shielded cable with an area of at least 0.75 mm² or AWG 18.
Control signals Shielded cable.
Measurement signals Shielded cable with twisted pair conductors.
Data communication Shielded cable with twisted pair conductors. A specific cable
signals should be used for field bus connections and Ethernet, according
to the standard specification of the respective bus.

Continued
Note
Any local standards and regulations concerning insulation and area must always
be complied with.
Route the cables

Routing of cables shall be done in a professional way.
• Cables of different classes, such as signal cables and power cables, must
not be routed together as the power cables may introduce noise in the signal
cables. The greater the separation distance, the lesser the risk for interference
between the cables.
• Robot controller mains supply input cable and robot power cable should be
separated even though they belong to the same class.
• If crossing cables from different classes, cables should cross at an angle
close to 90 degrees.
• All external cables that are to be connected inside the controller must be
shielded in the chassis before entering the cabinet.
Separation distances can be reduced if e.g. dividers are used between cables
classes. Manufacturers of cable duct systems can provide information on how
reduced separation distances can be achieved using their specific products.
Signal class Cable type
Power signals • These signals generate a lot of interference and must be
laid separate from control, measurement, and communica-
tion signals.
• The shielding must be connected to a paint-free part of the
panel chassis of the cabinet at both ends of the cable. Any
unshielded cable must be as short as possible.
• The manipulator power cables are routed on the floor and
along the left side of the controller cabinet.
• Cables should not be wound up like coils. This could cause
an magnetic field disturbing the signals. There will also be
a risk of overheating depending on the load.
Control signals • These signals are very sensitive to interference. To protect
these signals they should not be laid along with the power
Measurement signals signals.
Data communication • In the cable, each signal must be twisted with a neutral wire.
signals • The shielding must be connected directly to the chassis at
both ends of the cable.
Shielding cables
When peripheral devices are connected to the robot system, a shielded cable is
necessary to reduce coupling of the inner cable conductors to the environment
they pass through.
Shielding cable requirements

• The best method for shielding is to ground the shield at both ends of the
cable, provided the ends grounding are at the same potential.
• If the grounding points have different electric potentials - grounding both
ends will create a ground loop allowing unwanted current to flow in the shield.

Continued
In such cases one end grounding may be used. The grounding point should
then be at the robot controller side.
• Cables carrying analog low-level signals is another exception where the
shield should be grounded at only one end.
• Most data network and field bus types have defined grounding topologies.
If such grounding schemes exist, they should be followed.
• In complex interference environments, two-layer shielding may be required.
The inner shield should be grounded at the controller side only end and the
outer shield should be grounded at both ends. The optimum shielding is a
combination of foil and braid screens.
• The best connection is one in which the shielding is extended up to and
makes a solid 360° connection (shown below) with the ground plane or
chassis.
Shielding example
The below example shows the shielding of a d-type connector:
xx1700001320
A A dimpled connector body makes multiple bonds to the mating connector

body all around its periphery, 360° bonding.
B Metal, or metallized, back shell makes 360° bond to the connector body.
C The cable shield is exposed and 360° clamped to the back shell. A tight fit
is a must.
Many other 360° bonding methods and types of 360° shielded connectors are also
acceptable.
Shield pigtail termination

Shield pigtail termination, as shown below, shall be avoided. If a pigtail connection
cannot be avoided, make it as short as possible.
xx1700001321

Continued
Ground and screen connections

The task of the grounding system is twofold - protective and functional. The primary
task is to serve as protective earth (PE) for personal and equipment safety. The
secondary task is to serve as a return path for common mode current.
For further information refer to EN 60204-1 and UL 1740.
Grounding requirements
The controller cabinet ground must come from the mains power supply PE.
• The grounding cable color shall be green-yellow.
• The ground for the controller cabinet, robot manipulator and peripheral
devices must be the same, preferably an equipotential ground grid (mesh).
• Ground connection points must have stable inter-metallic bonding, like screw
fixation. Paint, dirt, rust, and other insulating material must be removed from
the contacting surfaces.
For requirements on the marking of the supply ground connection inside the control
cabinet refer to UL 508C. For further details on how grounding systems should be
designed refer to IEC 61000-5-2. For details of cross-sectional area of PE refer to
IEC 60204-1.
Grounding installation
For information on how to install the ground for the manipulator, see the
corresponding product manual.
Examples
The following figure shows 2 examples on how the ground and the signal cable
screens can be connected:
Control cabinet External unit
Example 1
Example 2
xx1200000960

Continued
Example 1:
• Where a good ground is available on all units, the best shielding is obtained
by grounding all screens at both ends on all units.
Example 2:
• If the cable is terminated where a good ground is not available a noise
suppression capacitor can be used. The screens of the 2 cables must be
connected as shown in the figure, but not connected to the chassis of the
unit.
Interference elimination
Internal relay coils and other units that can generate interference inside the control
cabinet are neutralized. External relay coils, solenoids and other units must be
clamped in a similar way. The illustration below shows how this can be done.
Note that the turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralization, especially
if a diode is connected across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times.
Neutralizing the coils lengthens the life of the switches that control them.
+24 V DC 0V
1)
2)
+24 V AC/DC 0V
3)
xx1200000961
1 The diode should be dimensioned for the same current as the relay coil, and
a voltage of twice the supply voltage.
2 The varistor should be dimensioned for the same energy as the relay coil,
and a voltage of twice the supply voltage.
3 When AC voltage is used, the components needs to be dimensioned for >500
V max voltage and 125 V nominal voltage.
The resistor should be 100 Ω, and the capacitor should be 1W 0.1 - 1 µF
(typically 0.47 µF).

3.5.10 Configuring safety stops
3.5.10 Configuring safety stops
Introduction
The automatic stop (AS) and the general stop (GS) are configured using the Visual
SafeMove functionality in RobotStudio.
Note
The automatic stop cannot be configured in RobotWare 7.0 and RobotWare 7.1.
In RobotWare 7.0 and 7.1, the stops are configured in the system parameters.
Configuration
The automatic stop is configurable to be either an automatic stop or a general stop,
where the general stop will stop the robot in manual reduced speed mode.
After the configuration is done in the Visual SafeMove, the safety configuration
must be written to the controller and then a restart of the controller is required.
WARNING
The new settings must be verified by test before the system is used.
• ProtectiveStop is the AS/GS input
• ExternalEmergencyStop is the ES input
• InternalEmergencyStop is the emergency stop button on the FlexPendant
Note
When upgrading RobotWare systems from 7.0 or 7.1, the stop configuration is
done using system parameters.
See also the circuit diagram, Circuit diagram - OmniCore C90XT.

3.5.11 Programmable stop functions
Stopping functions
There are different methods to stop the robot, in addition to manually initiated
stops.
• Stop with system input signals
• Stop with RAPID instructions
• Other stops
Stop category configuration

The stop category can be configured, see Technical reference manual - System
parameters.
Safety inputs System paramet- Description
er Function
Automatic Stop Category1AS Category1AS can be used to configure the protective
stop in automatic mode either as stop category 0 or
category 1. The default configuration is TRUE (stop
category 1).
Emergency Stop Category1LES Category1LES is used to configure the emergency
stop on the FlexPendant in automatic and manual
mode. The default configuration is FALSE (stop cat-
egory 0).
Emergency Stop Category1EES Category1EES is used to configure an external emer-
gency stop in automatic and manual mode. The default
configuration is FALSE (stop category 0).
Stop with system input signals

In the control system, it is possible to define system input signals to be set/reset
through different interactions, for example, through networks, I/O blocks, RobAPI,
etc. See next release version.
Pre-defined system input Description
SoftStop The manipulator is stopped on the path with no deviation.
QuickStop This is a faster stop of the manipulator than SoftStop. This stop
is more stressing for the mechanics than SoftStop. QuickStop
ignores torque and acceleration limits.
Stop at End of Cycle Stops the RAPID program when the complete program is ex-
ecuted, that means when the last instruction in the main routine
has been completed.
Stop at End of Instruction Stops program execution after the current instruction is com-
pleted.
All of these stops are performed without using the brakes, and the power is never
disconnected. The program execution can be continued directly, for example by
activating a start signal.
Note
Only safety rated input signals are allowed to be used for safety.

Other unexpected stops
Type of stop Description

SysFail In the control system there is a surveillance and monitoring
function that can detect abnormal situations. In such cases a
stop will be initiated. The robot controller must be restarted.
Power fail In the control system there is a monitoring function that can
detect power failure. In such cases a stop will be initiated.
Stop at collision In the control system there is a monitoring function that can
detect collisions. In such cases a stop will be initiated.
WARNING
Special care must be taken when restarting a machine that is

stopped due to a collision. The robot might make a limited
movement when restarted.
WARNING
The revolution counters might need to be updated after a colli-

sion to ensure path accuracy.
Stopping time/distance
Stopping time/distance for emergency stop (category 0), program stop (category1)
at max speed, max stretched out and max load, categories according to EN 60204-1.
All results are from tests on one moving axis. All stop distances are valid for floor
mounted robot, without any tilting.
For detail stopping time/distance for each robot, see Product specification Robot
stopping distances according to ISO 10218-1.

7 Troubleshooting
Introduction
The product manual and the circuit diagram contains information that can be good
when troubleshooting.
For OmniCore, all event logs from the software can be seen on the FlexPendant,
or in Technical reference manual - Event logs for RobotWare 7.
Make sure to read through the section Safety on page 13 before starting.
Troubleshooting strategies
1 Isolate the fault to pinpoint the cause of the problem from consequential
problems.
2 Divide the fault chain in two.
3 Check communication parameters and cables.
4 Check that the software version is compatible with the hardware.
Work systematically
1 Take a look around to make sure that all screws, connectors, and cables are
secured, and that the robot and other parts are clean, not damaged, and
correctly fitted.
2 Replace one thing at a time.
3 Do not replace units randomly.
4 Make sure that there are no loose screws, turnings, or other unexpected
parts remaining after work has been performed.
5 When the work is completed, verify that the safety functions are working as
intended.
Keep a track of history

• Make a historical fault log to keep track of problems over time.
• Consult those working with the robot when the problem occurred.
Basic scenarios
What to look for during troubleshooting depends on when the fault occurred. Was
the robot recently installed or was it recently repaired? The following table gives
hints on what to look for in specific situations.
The robot has recently Check:
been installed • the configuration files
• connectors
• options and their configuration
• changes in the robot working area/movements.

7.2.3 System update failure
7.2.3 System update failure
Description
In certain scenarios, such as removing or adding certain optional features or major
upgrades of installed software products versions, the previous backup may be
incompatible with the newly re-configured system. Automatically reloading backup
can therefore fail, resulting in system failure state.
For more information about system update, see Operating manual - Integrator's
guide OmniCore.

If there is a system update failure, the RobotWare system must be reset, which
will bring the system state to the default empty state for the current configuration.
See Operating manual - Integrator's guide OmniCore for detailed information
regarding system reset.
After reset, it is possible to:
A Go forward with the new configuration by re-implementing your programs
and configuration, or selectively reloading contents of the previous system
backup
B Rollback the changes in the system configuration, that is, make a new system
update and load the previous backup, and then manually update as needed
C Perform a complete re-installation of the RobotWare System using RobotWare
Installation Utilities and then reloading the previous backup.
See Operating manual - Integrator's guide OmniCore.

7.2.6 Problem using the joystick
7.2.6 Problem using the joystick
Description
The FlexPendant is started and responds when pushing buttons or using the
touchscreen but the joystick is not working. It is therefore not possible to jog the
robot.
If there are warnings or messages on the FlexPendant, see Problem releasing the
robot brakes on page 365.
Action Information
1 Make sure that the joystick lock is not activated. See Operating manual - OmniCore.
2 Make sure the controller is in manual mode.
3 Make sure the FlexPendant is connected cor-
rectly to the controller.
4 Press the reset button located next to the USB If the joystick is still not working, then

7.2.7 Controller fails to start
7.2.7 Controller fails to start
Description
The system has startup problems or the FlexPendant cannot connect to the system.
Function description
The robot controller always runs in one of the following two modes:
• Normal operation mode (a user-created system is selected to run)
• RobotWare Installation Utilities mode (advanced maintenance mode)
In rare occasions, a serious error (in the software or the configuration of the installed
system), may prevent the controller from starting properly in the normal operation
mode. A typical case is when a controller is restarted after a network configuration
change, causing the controller to be non-responsive from FlexPendant, RobotStudio,
or FTP. To restore the robot controller from this situation, the controller can be
forced to start in RobotWare Installation Utilities mode.
Forcing startup of the RobotWare Installation Utilities mode

Repeat the following action two times in a row:
1 Turn on the main power switch.
2 Wait for approximately 15 seconds.
Note
The PC STAT LED should be in flashing red state.
3 Turn off the main power switch.

The installed system is de-selected and in the next startup, the RobotWare
Installation Utilities mode is started.
This has no effect if the controller is already in RobotWare Installation Utilities
mode.
Note
Force starting the RobotWare Installation Utilities mode will not affect the files
in the directories belonging to the installed system.

7.2.8 Reflashing firmware failure
Description
When reflashing firmware, the automatic process can fail which will stop the system.
A message is generated in the event log.
This fault usually occurs due to a lack of compatibility between hardware and
software.

If the controller stops with a message about firmware failure, use this procedure
to troubleshoot what might cause the problem.
Action Note
1 Read the message to see which unit has failed.
2 If the relevant unit has been replaced recently,
make sure that the versions of the old and the
new unit are identical.
3 Check the software versions.
4 If RobotWare has been updated recently, make
sure that the versions of the old and the new unit
are identical.
5 If the problem remains, contact your local ABB
for information about which firmware version is
compatible with your hardware.

7.2.9 Inconsistent path accuracy
Description
The path of the robot TCP is not consistent. It varies from time to time, and is
sometimes accompanied by noise emerging from bearings, gearboxes, or other
locations.
Possible causes
The symptom can be caused by (the causes are listed in order of probability):
• Robot not calibrated correctly.
• Robot TCP not correctly defined.
• Parallel bar damaged (applies to robots fitted with parallel bars only).
• Mechanical joint between motor and gearbox damaged. This often causes
noise to be emitted from the faulty motor.
• Bearings damaged or worn (especially if the path inconsistency is coupled
with clicking or grinding noises from one or more bearings).
• The wrong robot type may be connected to the controller.
• The brakes may not be releasing correctly.

The path accuracy depends on many factors. The following table describes the
most common causes of problems with the path accuracy. Depending on your
installation, the recommended working procedure is to work step by step, starting
with the step that seems most plausible given your circumstances.

8.5 Screw joints
General
This section details how to tighten the various types of screw joints on the controller.
The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprised of metallic
materials and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
Tightening torque
Before tightening any screw, note the following:
• Determine whether a standard tightening torque or special torque is to be
applied. The standard torques are specified in the tables below. Any special
torques are specified in the Repair, Maintenance or Installation procedure
description. Any special torque specified overrides the standard value.
• Use the correct tightening torque for each type of screw joint.
• Only use correctly calibrated torque keys.
• Always tighten the joint by hand, and never use pneumatical tools.
• Use the correct tightening technique, i.e. do not jerk. Tighten the screw in a
slow, flowing motion.
• Maximum allowed total deviation from the specified value is 10%!
The table below specifies the recommended standard tightening torque for
oil-lubricated screws with slotted or cross-recess heads.

8.6 Weight specifications
8.6 Weight specifications
Definition
In all repair and maintenance instructions, weights of the components handled are
sometimes specified. All components exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs) are high-lighted in
this way.
To avoid injury, ABB recommends the use of lifting equipment when handling
components with a weight exceeding 22 kg.
Example
Below is an example of how a weight specification is presented:
CAUTION
The transformer weighs 55 kg! All lifting equipment used must be sized
accordingly!

8.7 Lifting accessories and lifting instructions
8.7 Lifting accessories and lifting instructions
General
Many repair and maintenance activities require different pieces of lifting accessories,
which are specified in each procedure.
The use of each piece of lifting accessories is not detailed in the activity procedure,
but in the instruction delivered with each piece of lifting accessories.
This implies that the instructions delivered with the lifting accessories should be
stored for later reference.
