Handling and Transportation

Safe handling when moving, packing, and shipping the RBQ. Packing and unpacking steps are also on the Packing page.

General precautions when moving

• Power off: Always turn power off before lifting or moving. If power is on, legs can move and cause injury.
• The robot is heavy and joints can move-support it so it cannot fall, or use designated carriers/moving methods.

Pinch hazard and handles

• Keep fingers, clothing, long hair, and jewelry out of handle and joint areas. Grip handles with a closed fist; do not insert fingers where they can be pinched.

[ Grip handles with a closed fist so fingers cannot be pinched. ]

Lifting

• Two people required: Always lift with two people front and back. With one hand support the left/right legs (or body side); with the other hand grip the handle in a fist. Lift using the handle so the whole robot stays level and stable. Lifting from one side only or twisting can drop legs or shift the center of mass.
• The RBQ is modular. Unlike a single-piece body, parts can separate and fall more easily. Avoid shock and twisting when lifting; do not drop-coordinate and move slowly.

[ One hand supports left/right legs; the other grips the handle-lift by the handle and move the whole robot steadily. ]

⚠

WARNING

Do not force-lift or drag while power is on. Turn power off and secure a stable posture first. Modular construction is more vulnerable to separation and drops than a one-piece design-take extra care against shock and drops.

Packing and shipping

[ Ship in original packaging and secure so nothing moves inside the box. ]

• Original packaging: Use the factory packaging when possible-shock and vibration can damage internal parts.
• Securing: Cushion and secure so the robot cannot move inside the box.
• Labeling: Mark handling (orientation, fragile, etc.) and avoid excessive stacking or throwing.

Battery

NOTE

For air or sea shipment with the battery installed, check applicable rules (e.g. UN dangerous goods, airline rules). If required, remove the battery and ship separately-confirm in the manual or with Rainbow Robotics.

Docking station and charger

• Charger and docking station: Pack and ship without shock; avoid tangling or crushing cables.

Storage

• When not in use: Store in the dedicated case or docking station when possible. Case size and weight are in the product documentation.
• Environment: Follow storage temperature and humidity in Operating Environment Requirements. For the battery, follow Battery Handling Precautions.
