Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide • If the machine is not connected to the Cloud and a number displays next to the icon, that number indicates how many items the machine needs to upload to the Cloud. After the machine is connected to the Cloud and uploads its items, the number decreases and eventually disappears.

Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide Teaching Autonomous Routes The machine must be taught one or more cleaning routes before it can run in autonomous mode. This teaches the machine the precise path or area that the machine will clean while operating autonomously.
Page 8
Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide • Divide the space into contiguous routes for maximum efficiency and yield. • Teach routes when the area is mostly clear of obstacles and people that could block the path of the machine. This might require teaching routes outside of normal run times.

Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide Running Autonomous Routes This section describes how to configure the machine to run one or more existing routes in autonomous mode. Best Practices When Running Routes WARNING: Do not attempt to ride on the machine, use the steering wheel, or put hands or arms through the steering wheel when the machine is running a route in autonomous mode.
Page 14
Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide • Visually inspect all sensors and wipe them down with a dry microfiber cloth before starting an autonomous route. Dirty sensors can affect the machine’s performance. Do not apply any water or cleaning solution to the cloth.

Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide Accessing The Route History The route history shows the duration of each route and the overall route coverage for any routes run over the past seven days. This feature shows what areas of the route were cleaned autonomously by the machine (and which areas were not cleaned).
Kärcher CV 60/1 Vacuum User Guide Route Management Each Home Marker supports a maximum of 12 routes. If all 12 spaces displayed on the screen are already filled with routes, the operator can only train more routes by deleting one or more of the existing routes associated with that Home Marker.
