3.3 Cautions to avoid damage

To keep your Kikobot C1 working safely and for a long time, please follow these key precautions:

  1. Unpack Carefully: Handle the box and parts gently during unpacking. Avoid using excessive force or sharp objects.

  2. Align Joint Marks Before Powering On: This is crucial. Always align the marked lines on each joint before turning on the power to prevent collisions during startup. Failure to do so may damage the robot.

  3. Let the Robot Home: The KikoBot C1 will automatically perform a "homing" sequence when first powered on (and after power loss or updates). Do not interrupt this process.

  4. Don't Touch During Initial Movement: After powering on and resetting, do not touch or stop the robot's initial movements. This could damage its motors.

  5. Listen for Unusual Noises: If you hear any strange noises during operation, immediately disconnect the power and contact your supplier.

  6. Use the Correct Power Supply: Only use the provided 12V 10A adapter. Using a different one could damage the robot.

  7. Don't Force the Joints: Never manually force the robot's joints beyond their normal range.

  8. Manage Cables: Keep cables organized and away from moving parts.
