¶ Transporting the Robot
To ensure the safety of both your robot and handlers, always follow proper procedures when transporting the unit.
¶ Short Distances
For short moves, always lift the robot using the metal hip bracket and the bottom of the clavicle with 2-3 people.
Never use the external shells as grip points.
Avoid tilting the robot; keep it as vertical as possible to prevent damage.
We recommend placing the robot onto a low trolley for safe transport over short distances.
¶ Long Distances/Shipping
For longer journeys or shipping, please refer to the unpacking instructions here and follow the steps in reverse. Ensure the robot is repacked as demonstrated in this example for maximum protection during transit.

¶ Cleaning - General
You should regularly clean your robot's silicon skin and shells to remove any dust or lint that can build up over time.
Clean gently. Stop immediately if any paint or finish is damaged.
Use only cleaners recommended below. No abrasives or water based cleaners.
Clean with either:
- a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (maximum 70% alcohol) applied to a clean, lint-free cloth, OR
- commercially available pre-impregnated isopropyl alcohol wipes (max. 70% alcohol)
Note that over time the silicon can release a little oil, this is a natural process.
A light brush with talcum powder will resolve this.
Clean with either:
- a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (maximum 70% alcohol) applied to a clean, lint-free cloth, OR
- commercially available pre-impregnated isopropyl alcohol wipes (max. 70% alcohol)
Stop immediately if there is any sign of paint being damaged or removed
