This section describes manual scrubber controls located to the right of the Brain- enabled scrubber steering wheel. ONE-TOUCH BUTTON The one-touch button engages the scrub deck, vacuum and squeegee, allowing for immediate operation of the scrubber. In addition, pressing the one-touch button lowers the scrub deck and the squeegee located on the back end of the Brain- enabled scrubber. The vacuum will also be engaged when this button is pressed. The machine is now ready to scrub. When finishing work – press the one-touch button again to shut-off cleaning operations. The scrub deck will rise off fl oor. The squeegee remains down for an additional few seconds and then lifts as well. After the squeegee has lifted, the vacuum will remain on for a few additional seconds in order to clear remaining water in the hose. VACUUM BUTTON This button lowers the squeegee located at the rear of the machine. The vacuum will also be initiated when this button is used. It will recover water with squeegee only. Pressing the vacuum button a second time raises the squeegee and shuts the vacuum off. There will be a slight delay before the motor shuts off.

AUTONOMOUS FUNCTIONS – (LEFT SIDE USER INTERFACE) Your ICE RS26 robotic scrubber, powered by Brain OS has artificial intelligence software installed on the Brain- enabled scrubber. You can interface with robotic scrubber, powered by Brain OS’s functions through the display’s user interface, which provides messaging and also controls various functions. The user interface allows users to select a cleaning route, teach a new cleaning route, and delete routes.

Additional function and operation controls located on the body of the Brain-enabled scrubber. PROPEL PEDAL (RIGHT PEDAL) Press propel (accelerator) pedal to drive the machine. Removing pressure from the pedal stops travel. The park brake engages after short delay. BRAKE DEVICE AND BRAKE PEDAL (LEFT PEDAL) Removing pressure from propel (accelerator) pedal stops travel. The park brake engages after a short delay. The Brain-enabled scrubber is also equipped with a brake pedal, which can be used if quicker stopping is needed or if operating on an incline. OPERATOR SEAT The seat is moved forward and backward using the black lever protruding from underneath seat base. This seat can also be lifted to access the Brain- enabled scrubber battery and brake release instructions and tool.

Brain-enabled scrubber. ROUTE - TEACH A NEW CLEANING ROUTE This is the course your ICE RS26 robotic scrubber, powered by Brain OS follows during cleaning. Before your robotic scrubber, powered by Brain OS can clean on its own, an operator must drive the Brain-enabled scrubber through each desired cleaning route and save the route to memory. HOME LOCATION CODES A total of ten home location codes are provided with the Brain-enabled scrubber. A home location code is a unique identifier similar to a bar code. Each code provided with the Brain- enabled scrubber stores information that robotic scrubber, powered by Brain OS scans and uses to function. By scanning a home location code, your robotic scrubber, powered by Brain OS is able to identify the machine’s current location, as well as which routes are saved to that specific location. The machine is capable of storing six routes for each home location code. Each facility has up to 60 routes in total.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Before operating in either manual or autonomous mode, the following checks must be conducted. 1. Check the tank cover seals for damage. 2. Check and drain the recovery tank, check the vacuum fan inlet fi lter, clean them if necessary. 3. Check the vacuum hose for debris or blockage. Check the squeegees for damage, wear and for defl ection adjustment. 4. Check whether the pad/brush is installed properly. Check the brakes and steering for proper operation. 5. Check that the rear squeegee and side skirts are free of tears, rips and excessive wear and are picking up water properly. 6. Check the water, solution and scrub deck pressure levels are to the desired need for the route. Adjust as needed for each route.

Speed can be adjusted by using the scrubber depth the force applied to the indicator, detergent pedal - light is slow, heavy level indicator and is fast, before driving the water level indicator Brain-enabled scrubber adjustment buttons. 6. The machine may now be driven manually to conduct cleaning. 7. When driving the machine, it is important to maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms and other objects. 8. Go slow on inclines and slippery surfaces. 9. Drive the Brain-enabled scrubber in as straight a path as possible. Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply when the machine is in motion. It is also important to avoid sudden turns, except in emergencies. 10. Be very careful when operating the machine in reverse. 11. Follow all safety guidelines. 12. Report any damage to machine prior to operating it. 13. Failure to follow these instructions and warnings may result in damage to the machine or injury.

8. As the machine starts autonomous operation, inspect it to ensure proper cleaning function (i.e. deck and scrubbing function, squeegee function, squeegee adjustment, rear squeegee water pickup, side skirt wiping, etc.) NOTE After a brief pause, the machine will signal that it’s about to op- erate by flashing the yellow warning light and sounding its horn. In summary there are 3 important and simple steps to remember: Once at the home location code, select “choose a route”, then select the route you wish to clean, lastly press the blue button. It is as easy at 1-2-3! Brain Corporation ICE RS26, powered by Brain OS | Gen2, v1.1217 – Content Subject to Change...

While holding the recovery tank drain hose (Machine Components #27) upward, remove the cap and lower hose to drain. Once the seat has been lifted out of the way, open the recovery tank cover (Machine Components #16) and rinse out the tank. Use a rag to remove any excess dirt. Clean the vacuum fan inlet fi lter located in the recovery tank. DRAINING THE SOLUTION TANK Any time scrubbing operation is completed, the solution tank should be drained and cleaned. While holding the solution tank drain hose (Machine Components #21) upward, remove the cap, fold the end of the hose and lower hose to drain. Rinse the solution tank with clean water after every use. This will help prevent chemical buildup and clogging of solution lines. Brain Corporation ICE RS26, powered by Brain OS | Gen2, v1.1217 – Content Subject to Change...
