Marta took the pages. Page 6-12: Parameter assignment for hydraulic axes—ramp-up time, pressure threshold, hold torque. Page 9-4: Configuring Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1 (SS1) for vertical loads.
"That’s why we needed the manual," Marta said. "The online quick-start wouldn’t warn you about that. It assumes you know. The manual explains the why ."
