Preface
Thank you for choosing the i-mop® Lite, the auto scrubber that cleans faster, cleaner, safer, greener,
and is better for everyone. The i-mop Lite's compact design allows you to clean right to the edge and
under obstacles, minimizing manual scrubbing. The battery operated i-mop Lite is equipped with two
counter-rotating brushes that provide a deep scrub and a great cleaning result. The i-mop Lite
significantly reduces the amount of water and chemicals needed which both leads to a greener result
and reduces the risk of slippery floors.

1Introduction
The i-mop® Lite is an easy and safe machine to use. 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 i-mop Lite. The batteries must be fully charged before use. Please refer
to the user manual of the class I battery charger for correct procedure.
This manual is intended for those who work with the i-mop Lite and/or 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.
The manufacturer 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-mop Lite 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 i-mop Lite is a specialized machine for
scrubbing hard floor surfaces. You can use any
type of water-based scrubbing detergent.
The fluid tank, brushes and squeegee come in
HACCP color coded versions (blue, green, red,
yellow and orange). All three items are easily
replaced. This allows you to use different
cleaning solutions, —for instance, when you
move from the food preparing area to the
restaurant. ALWAYS use the same color for fluid
tank, brush and squeegee.
