Move the robot by hand

Before moving the robot by hand, raise the drive wheel.

Raise the drive wheel

The drive wheel height screw is located in the bottom compartment—see Access the internal parts.

Screw the inner nut on the drive wheel height screw clockwise to raise the drive wheel. Use a 24 mm open-end wrench. Only screw the inner nut on the drive wheel height screw when raising or lowering the drive wheel.

After moving the robot by hand or towing it, always lower the drive wheel by screwing the inner nut on the drive wheel height screw counterclockwise as far as possible. If the drive wheel is not fully lowered, it may increase the braking distance of the robot.

Push or pull the robot

To move the robot by hand, either push or pull it using the mast or the carriage.

Avoid moving the robot by hand, as it can cause the robot to lose its localization.

Tow the robot

To tow the robot, attach an M12 eye-bolt to the front of the robot's footguard and raise the drive wheel.

Towing the robot should only be done in emergencies and has to be done very carefully.
