Safety
Store indoors in a dry environment.
Park and store the machine on a level surface.
Some objects could be difficult for the machine to detect, such as reflective black surfaces, other highly polished or
reflective surfaces, or plexiglass. Avoid cleaning in autonomous operation in areas where these objects are
present.
Avoid using the machine in proximity to other products that are sensitive to electromagnetic noise.
Do not use in low-traction environments where ice or oil are present.
Avoid use in environments where stopping could result in a safety risk, such as blocking an emergency exit or
access to medical equipment.
Avoid use in environments with inconsistent (excessively bumpy) terrain texture or many floor transitions.
Dispose of packaging materials, used batteries, and fluids in an environmentally safe way according to local waste
disposal regulations. Remember to recycle.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts while the machine is in operation.
Locate and make sure all safety devices—such as the operator seat sensor, yellow safety straps, and Emergency
Stop buttons—are in place and fully functional.
All doors and covers must be positioned as indicated in this document before using the machine.
Keep all third parties—especially children and animals—at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from the machine during opera-
tion.
The operator is responsible for supervising and monitoring safe operation of the machine.
Do not ride the machine when it is operating in autonomous operation.
Do not attempt to hold the steering wheel when operating in autonomous operation. It could move rapidly and unex-
pectedly and cause injury.
The wheels and tires must remain in contact with the floor at all times. Avoid abrupt maneuvers while operating the
machine in manual mode.
Do not operate the machine near flammable materials, such as solvents, thinners, fuels, grain dust, and so on.
Electric motors and components can cause an explosion when operated near explosive materials or vapors.
Do not use the machine to pick up hazardous substances.
Do not leave the machine unattended without turning the ignition key off and removing the key. When operating the
machine in autonomous operation, remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.
Prevent unauthorized use of the machine by storing it with the ignition key removed.
Do not charge batteries when open flames or sparks are present. Do not smoke.
If the battery charger or power supply cord is damaged, replace it. Do not use damaged parts.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY
Repairs and specified maintenance tasks must only be performed by authorized personnel.
