Parking Brake
The AeroBot Floor Sweeper has a parking brake
that can be engaged from the rear of the machine
(see red handle). Pivoting the red handle to the left
locks the parking brake, moving it to the right
releases the parking brake.

gallon seamless polyethylene tank with (2) dome
filters.
Brush Head Assembly
The AeroBot head is powered by a single 1/2–HP
DC motor with a belt-driven 4.5” diameter brush that
spins at 1390 RPM. The combination of the 12”
side-broom and 28” long brush yields a cleaning
width of 32”.

User Guide
Battery Charging
Gel cell batteries provide approximately four hours of
operation per charge. They are highly reliable and
do not require a vented room (they do not emit
fumes while recharging). Intellibot Robotics offers,
as an accessory, a battery exchange kit. This
system is designed to allow the operator to
exchange the battery pack when low on charge.
WARNING:
Only 24-volt chargers with a gel cell setting should
be used to ensure the batteries do not overheat.
Using any other charger may cause damage to the
batteries. Charge each battery pack for a continuous
18 hours. The AeroBot automatically powers off
when the battery-charging plug is inserted.

Cleaning Options
There are two operating modes for the AeroBot: Manual and Hands Free. Manual allows you
to control all cleaning functions including speed.
Hands Free allows you to let go while the machine cleans the area automatically.
Make sure the area to be cleaned is as clutter-free as possible by removing all items from the
area such as garbage bags, trashcans and cleaning carts. Clear the floor before running the
machine as paper, cups and other small debris can get caught in the hose and cause the
vacuum to not work.
Manual Clean
To operate the machine in manual cleaning mode,
perform the following actions:
Touch the Manual Clean Button on the home
screen.
Turn on the vacuum by touching the fan icon.
Lower the head and turn on the brushes by
touching the brush icon.
Touch the forward arrow icon until the speed bar
indicator is at the desired speed.
Squeeze the handlebar and maneuver the
machine over the surface to be cleaned. To stop
the machine, release the handle bar.

Spot Clean
Spot Clean is used to clean a hallway or aisle for a specific distance (minimum of 20 feet).
The hallway/aisle must be between 6 feet and 60 feet wide. There must be two walls, one on
the left and one on the right, at the start of Spot Clean for it to accurately measure the width
of the area to clean.
Position the machine in the middle of the hallway/aisle and perform the following actions:
Touch the Spot Clean button on the Home screen.
Select the distance to clean with the “+” and “-“
buttons to set the cleaning length from 20 to 200
feet.
Touch “GO” and the machine will start cleaning.

Use this mode to clean hallways, conference rooms and aisles 6 feet to 60 feet wide
automatically. Area Clean is able to clean an area with only one sidewall as a reference, but
works best when both a left and right wall are present. An end wall or some other obstacle is
needed to designate the end of the cleaning area for the machine. There are nine separate
cleaning patters to choose from.
Touch the Area Clean button on the Home
screen to access Cleaning Patterns.

User Guide
On the first pass (learning pass) of the first Area, the machine looks for openings that match
the Cleaning Pattern selected. If an opening is found that is large enough, on the correct
side, and in the correct location, it will clean that second Area after cleaning the first Area. If
the opening does not meet the criteria, just the first Area is cleaned.
Optionally, touch Return to Start to have the machine return to the starting location of the
first Area when it is finished cleaning, rather than at the end of the second Area.
The 9 cleaning Patterns available on the machine are shown graphically. Below are the parts
