Preface
Thank you for choosing the co-boticTM 45, the heavy-duty auto scrubber that cleans faster,
cleaner, safer, greener, and is better for everyone. The co-botic 45 compact design allows you
to clean right to any edge, minimizing manual scrubbing. The battery-operated
co-botic 45 is equipped with a brush that provides a deep scrub and a great cleaning result.
The co-botic 45 significantly reduces the amount of chemicals needed, which leads to a
greener result. It also reduces the risk of slippery floors. The co-botic 45 is coated to
withstand abrasive chemicals. This means it can be used at facilities like swimming pools.
i-link®
You can connect your cleaning equipment to i-link, the cloud-based management system. The
co-botic 45 has a small integrated transmitter, already connected to the i-link cloud. This
transmitter will send usage information, battery levels, and even the location of the machine
to the i-link cloud every day. It’s also possible to set rules for notifications (e.g. reminders for
maintenance after X hours of use) and to troubleshoot an issue with the machine through
your i-partner.
Please read this manual carefully for important information and operating instructions before
using the co-botic 45. Save this manual for future reference. This co-botic 45 will provide
excellent performance. The best results are obtained when the co-botic 45 is:
•Regularly maintained per the co-botic 45 preventive maintenance instructions in this
manual.
•Operated with reasonable care and caution.
•Maintained with manufacturer-supplied parts.
When this manual refers to “the manufacturer”, this means Future Cleaning Technologies
B.V., an affiliate company of i-team in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. When this manual
mentions “the partner”, this refers to your local i-team resell and support service partner.
