FASTER:
The co-botic™45 keeps on cleaning for up to 180 minutes. When the battery is
almost empty, the machine can return to its starting point before it runs out of
battery. When working with 2 batteries, the machine can operate 24/7. Bonus: it
can even be used overnight in dark areas without any trouble.
CLEANER:
The cleaner can create their own cleaning routes for the co-botic 45 via the co-
botic app. Alternatively, the co-botic 45 can program itself to perform the most
efficient cleaning job for the desired area. You can use it in all kinds of hard floors
rooms, glossy or rough floors. Also, if the path of the co-botic 45 is blocked it will
come back later to clean the missed spot.
GREENER:
The co-botic 45 is programmed to clean as precisely and efficiently as possible.
Every bit of energy is used for cleaning - nothing is wasted. While the co-botic 45
only consumes 240W in one hour, alternative robots can consume up to 1000W
per hour. Furthermore, it saves as much water as possible while still remaining the
i-mop known and proven cleaning performance.
SAFER:
Because the co-botic 45 is battery-powered, there are no cables involved. There is
also no need for a charging or refill station. This instantly reduces the risk of
tripping and falling hazards. Furthermore, the co-botic 45 will leave the cleaned
floor immediately dry to reduce slipping hazard. By setting virtual boundaries in
the app, the cleaner can rely on the co-botic 45 to stay within the designated
areas. Additionally, the automatic cliff detection feature prevents the co-bot from
falling off stairs or other elevations...
…and BETTER for everyone!
Combining the i-team co-botic performance with the trained human eye, the co-
botic 45 gets the most out of your cleaning operations and needs. The cleaner
and the co-bot make a perfect team, and will never miss a spot. They each execute
the cleaning they can do best, simultaneously and side-by-side.

1Introduction
The co-boticTM 45 is a safe, user-friendly machine. This manual helps you to get started and
explains the operation and maintenance procedure. You will be pleasantly surprised by the
fast and effective use of the battery-operated co-botic 45. The battery used in the
co-botic 45 comes from the same family as the ones used in a variety of battery-powered
i-team products. The battery must be fully charged before use. Please see the user manual of
the class I battery charger for the correct procedure.
This manual is intended for those who work with the co-botic 45 and/or perform daily
maintenance. The manual must be read fully before starting to work with the machine. This
manual describes the correct method of use, safety measures, maintenance, and transport.
The manufacturer continuously improves all its products based on user experience and
feedback. Any deviations between the texts and/or images from the manual and your
co-botic 45 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
The co-botic 45 is a specialized machine for
scrubbing hard floor surfaces. It only needs
water as a cleaning agent, it doesn’t need a
water-based scrubbing detergent.
The co-botic 45 offers two cleaning solutions:
1. For regular areas such as an office or a
store.
2. For areas where the floor can become
greasy, such as a kitchen floor or the floor
of a workshop.
Switching from one solution to the other is a
matter of seconds.
Figure 1
The solution can cause floors to become slippery; it is advised to mark the floor of the job site
to warn people. (Please note: the wet floor sign is not part of the co-botic 45 system
delivery).
