1Introduction
The i-cover® 2.5 is an easy and safe machine to use. This manual helps you get started and explains
the operation and maintenance procedure.
The i-cover 2.5 is battery operated. The battery used in the i-cover 2.5 is the same as a variety of
battery powered i-team products. The battery must be fully charged before use. A second battery is
optional. Please refer to the user manual of the i-charge® 9 or the i-charge® 2 for the correct
procedure.
This manual is intended for those who work with the i-cover 2.5 and perform daily maintenance. The
manual must be read in full before the first actions. This manual describes the correct method of use,
safety measures, maintenance and transport. And finally, the manual contains information about the
consumables:
•the disinfectant;
•the color coded spray nozzles.
i-team continuously improves all their products based on user experience and feedback. Any
deviations between the texts and/or images from the manual and your i-cover 2.5 can therefore
arise from the difference in model or from possible changes due to continuous development and
innovation.

1.1 Intended use of the product
Figure 1
The i-cover® 2.5 is a specialized machine to disinfect surfaces only. You can hold the i-cover 2.5 in
your hand using the handle, or hang it on your shoulder using the belt, see Figure 1.
In order to use the i-cover 2.5 for different applications, four sizes of spray nozzles are provided, each
with their unique color code. These spray nozzles are easy to replace. Select the right spray nozzle for
each job, see section 2.3.
Keep the spray nozzle away from your face as the disinfectant can blow out vapors that can cause
irritation.
Always check the recommendations written on the packaging of the disinfectant that you use.
Use your favourite disinfectant solution at the appropriate dilution specified on the product label (if
applicable). Disinfectants for which a dilution is needed that carries a corrosive pictogram (GHS05) or
the hazard statements H290 “May be corrosive to metals”, or H314 “Causes severe skin burns and
eye damage” should generally be avoided. Refer to the product’s in-use concentration SDS sheet.
Follow the recommended safety rules and guidelines as indicated by the manufacturer of your
disinfectant.
