BRAKE RELEASE PROCEDURE
The RoboScrub 20 is stopped via an electromagnetic brake, located on the front drive wheel assembly. When the accelerator
pedal is pressed the electromagnetic brake releases, which allows the RoboScrub 20 to move forward or backward. When
pressure is removed from the accelerator pedal, the electromagnetic brake presses against the front drive wheel to stop
the RoboScrub 20.
If the RoboScrub 20 is inoperable or immobile, it can be manually moved by releasing the electromagnetic brake by
performing the following steps:
1. Turn the RoboScrub 20 off using the ignition key.
2. Locate the electromagnetic brake on the front drive wheel assembly.
3. Place a small,
fl
athead screwdriver between the wheel and the brake
release lever. This will bypass the electromagnetic brake.
4. Slowly push the RoboScrub 20 to a safe location where it can remain
until a service technician arrives to perform repairs.
5. Once you have moved the RoboScrub 20 to a safe place, remove
the screwdriver from the front drive wheel assembly to activate the
electromagnetic brake.
FOR SAFETY
• DO NOT PERFORM THE BRAKE RELEASE PROCEDURE ON AN INCLINE/DECLINE. IT IS UNSAFE TO PUSH
THE ROBOSCRUB 20 ON AN INCLINE/DECLINE, AS IT’S DIFFICULT TO STOP.
• CHECK FOR AND CLEAN UP ANY RESIDUAL WATER OR LIQUIDS ON THE FLOOR BEFORE PERFORMING
THE BRAKE RELEASE PROCEDURE.

AND PHYSICALLY PUSH. USE PRECAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS TASK TO AVOID INJURY.
• DO NOT RUSH WHEN PUSHING THE ROBOSCRUB 20. THE FASTER YOU TRY TO PUSH, THE SLOWER THE
MACHINE WILL MOVE.
