- CHOOSING THE PROGRAM -
Description of the programs
You have a choice of three different programs.
Hall program
The hall program is suitable for surfaces that have a rectangular shape of 200 m
2
up to 1200 m
2
, such as
gymnasiums, conference rooms, lobbies, etc.
To start this program, position the unit in the direction of motion approximately 0.3 m away from the wall.
After pressing the "Run" button, it follows up to the fourth corner. Thereafter, it systematically covers the
hall following a special pattern. It can move around pillars and obstacles so that it returns to the
systematic path that it had taken before the obstacle.
Rooms with walls that are not at right-angles to each other must be divided into rectangular fields with
partitions or the spiral program can be used.
Spiral program
The spiral program is suitable for rooms that have obstacles, and for crooked rooms without any clear
boundaries between 100 m
2
and 800 m
2
. Corridors can also be cleaned with the spiral program.
The robot is started inside the room at equal distance from two walls. The distance from the walls is
oriented around the size of the room. The unit starts moving in a spiral and continues until it reaches an
obstacle that it must go around. After three spiral revolutions in which it must get around an obstacle, the
Robo changes the centre of the spiral and starts moving in a spiral again.
Corridor program
The corridor program is suitable for cleaning hallways or long and narrow rooms. The width of the aisle
should not drop below a width of 3 m.
The robot is started approx. 0.3 m from the right wall at the beginning of the corridor. It cleans crossways
to the corridor in a series of loops, similar to the hall program.
Choosing the quantity of water
The Robo 40 has three cleaning levels in which the quantity of water and suction power can be changed.
Cleaning level L for low level of soiling Capacity min. 1,200 m
2
Cleaning level N for medium level of soiling Capacity min. 600 m
2
Cleaning level H for high level of soiling Capacity max. 300 m
2
Note:
Please note that the different cleaning levels also have an effect on the operating time of the battery. The
operating time of the battery is approx. 6 hours. The values given above apply to the hall program.

- PREPARATION -
Insert the membrane tank
Position the fresh water membrane tank (A1) in the dirty water tank (A2). The support brackets on the
membrane tank are fastened to the dirty water tank as shown in the illustration (B3).
- Fill the fresh water tank -
Fill the membrane tank (A) approx. half-way with fresh water. Add the cleaning agent* (B) and then fill the
membrane tank completely to approx. 2cm below the rim (C). Before closing, make sure that the water filter
is at the lowest point of the tank and that the lid is resting tightly on the housing (D).
*We recommend only using the original cleaning agent from the manufacturer. Unsuitable cleaning agents
can lead to the water lines becoming clogged up or to other damage.
Close the fresh water tank
Insert the suction hose in the membrane tank. Make sure that the filter (A1) is dirt-free and position it at
the lowest point in the tank.
Put the lid on (C) and connect the water hose to the nipple. (D)

Interrupting operation
You can interrupt the cleaning process by pressing the "run" button. To put the Robo 40 back into
operation, press the "run" button again.
Note: If the Robo 40 is working in the hall or corridor program, it will continue with the program that it
started after the interruption. In the spiral program, it will begin a new spiral at the place it was interrupted.
End of program
If the Robo was being operated in the hall program, then after completion of the program, it returns to the
starting place where it switches itself off.
In the spiral program, it switches itself off when it reaches the end of the room or, if it ends up in a dead
end, cannot find its own way out.
In the corridor program, it switches itself off when it reaches the wall at the end of the hallway.
To switch off the Robo 40 manually, press the "Run" (3) button and then the "Start" button. Caution: Do
not switch off the unit with the emergency stop button!
Note:
If the battery is empty, then the battery lamp starts flashing before the unit switches itself off. In this case,
the battery lamp continues to flash.
Emptying the tank
Disconnect the fresh water supply by pulling the hose off (A).
Remove the lid and clean it with water. Remove the membrane tank and clean it with water.
The dirty water can be drained by opening the shut-off valve (B1). Afterwards, clean the inside of the tank
with a weak jet of water and a soft brush, and then rinse.
Seal the dirty water drain hose tightly and fasten it to the hose holder.
Note:
Keep the unit open so that it can dry.

the back grip channel (3). Now the suction lips (A/B) can be replaced. The suction lip with the indentations
must always be installed at the back (C).Then, put the grip channels (2/3) back into position and fasten
them with the thumbscrews (2).
Transport
Two ways to move or transport the Robo 40:
Method 1: Push the unit to the destination. When doing so, watch for obstructions in the floor quality and also
make sure that the suction nozzle is raised.
Note: When the unit is switched on, the Robo 40 can only be moved if the "Emergency off" button is pressed.

- CLEANING THE ROBO 40 -
The Robo 40 requires regular cleaning and care. To achieve flawless cleaning results, dirtying such as can
be seen in the illustrations A/B/C must not occur.
Point 1
First of all, remove the suction bar (see "Suction Nozzle" chapter). Then remove the fresh water tank.
Position the Robo 40 on the transport cart (D) and tip it.
Point 2
It is now easy to access the areas that have to be cleaned. By unscrewing the 4 Allen screws, (E) the roller
brushes (1) can be disassembled. Point 2 is not necessary if there is only slight dirtying.
Point 3
Clean the roller brushes,(1) brush strip and housing with water and a cleaning agent.
Point 4
Caution: During each cleaning, check the condition of the water lines to make sure they are secure and
clean.
Point 5
Position the roller brushes (1) and screw them together again with the Allen screws. Clean the suction bar
and install it as described in the chapter entitled "Replacing the suction lips". At the end, use a damp cloth to
clean the sensor shield and the panel of the Robo 40.
Note:
Perform all work with the proper care. Maintenance work as well as repair work of any type may only be
performed by the manufacturer of the unit or by professionals while observing all relevant safety regulations.

Rinsing the water lines
Description of the rinse function:
Use the switch (A) to select the hall program function.
Start the Robo 40 as described in the "Starting the Robo 40" chapter.
As soon as the "run" and "Start/Stop" lamps are lit permanently, the pump function can be started by
pressing and holding the "run" button (B).
Rinse the water lines for 5 to 10 seconds before each use of the Robo 40. After completion of the rinsing
process, check the water discharge on the ground. This guarantees an intact water flow.
Clogged water line or brush strip:
If no water flows, repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times. If there is still no water flowing, the water line can be
rinsed and cleaned with a concentrated cleaner. To do this, put the suction filter directly into a container
filled with approx. 1 L of cleaning solution (C).
If there is still no water flowing through the water distribution brush even after cleaning the water line, then
call the service hotline.
Charging the batteries
After cleaning, the Robo 40 can be connected to the charging station (1). To do this, remove the dirty water
tank and connect the charging cable to the socket (2) of the Robo 40.
Pressing the emergency stop button
Only press the emergency stop button in emergencies or to transport the unit when it is "on".
After completion of cleaning, switch off the unit only with the on/off button.
If this is not observed, damage may occur to the roller brushes because they are not raised from the floor.
