Item Interval
needed
NOTE: The frequency of these procedures depend on your particular system, its
operating environment, and the amount of use. Operating in a dusty or dirty
environment requires more frequent cleaning. Use the intervals in this section as
guidelines, and may need to be adjusted.
Platform Charging Contacts
!
WARNING: Do not use solvents or chemicals on the platform charging con-
tacts as this could damage the surface of the contacts.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTIONRISK
Prior to cleaning the platform charging contacts you must make sure that the
AMR is powered off.
WARNING: BURNRISK
Do not clean the charging contacts if they are hot. The charging contacts can
reach a very high temperature when charging, and pose burning risk. You
must allow the charging contacts to cool down prior to cleaning.
To clean the platform charging contacts, you must use a 320 grit sand paper to remove surface
dirt, oxidation, pitting or other contaminants.
IMPORTANT: Make sure not to reduce the charging surface of the charging con-
tacts by sanding off the edges. Smaller charging surface will reduce the charging
speed and charging operation.
Caster Treads
Occasionally clean the caster treads with a mild soapy solution. Remove any accumulated dirt
or debris on the treads which can degrade the AMR’s performance.
This applies to both the drive wheels and the casters.
ESD Drive Wheel Treads
ESD drive wheels are critical components as they provide electrical path to ground. As such,
they require regular, periodic cleaning to preserve ESD protection capability.
