OPERATING THE MACHINE
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down ramps.
Operating Modes
The Nilfisk Liberty SC50 has three operating modes:
• Manual Operating Mode:
Provides normal functioning of the machine, without autonomy. In this mode the
machine is driven and controlled by an operator, and operates in a conventional manner. The machine must
be driven in the manual mode while creating plans the machine will follow during Autonomous Operation. This
includes driving to and from the autonomous scrubbing plans (locations). Full details of the Manual Operating
Mode are contained in the
OPERATING THE MACHINE MANUAL MODE
section of this manual.
- This mode is active whenever the Manual Operation Indicator
(H)
is lit.
• Autonomous Mode:
The Autonomous Operating Mode is used to perform scrubbing operations automatically,
without active Operator involvement. This is done by recording a specific path to follow or the perimeter of an
area.
- Plans may also include specific actions the machine will make while performing the scrubbing activity.
Such actions might include knowing when to raise or lower the scrub deck, how much solution to
dispense. When played back, the plan tells the machine exactly what to do; what path it should follow,
and what scrubbing actions it should take along the way.
- To operate autonomously, the machine needs to always know exactly where it is in relation to the
recorded plan, and the operating environment. This mapping process operates constantly, in every
operating mode, whenever the machine is turned on.
- This mode is active whenever Autonomous Mode Indicator
(S1)
is lit.
• Recording Mode:
Used to create plans (either CopyCat™ or Fill-In) the machine will follow when scrubbing autonomously. Before the
machine can operate autonomously, the operator must record a specific plan(s) to follow while scrubbing. During recording, both the route to
travel and scrub settings are recorded and saved.
- This mode is active whenever both the Manual Operation Indicator
(H)
and Autonomous Mode Indicator
(S1)
are lit.
