1. Safety Instructions
1.1 Unified Instructions
- This wheeled robot can only be used indoors on flat surfaces such as wood floors, ceramic tiles, and thin carpets. Using in outdoor space (for example, open balcony), on the rugged ground (for example, stairs), in a temperature above 40° C or below 0° C, or on surfaces covered with fluid or gooey stuff is not allowed.
- Do not pull or push the robot while it is working. If you need to push or move the robot, press the emergency stop switch to stop it from moving first.
- Do not block the robot components or overfill the tray. Otherwise, the robot may fail to move properly or get lost.
- Do not pat the device or press or tap hard on the screen, or damages may be caused.
- Do not overload the robot. Do not put any flammable solid, gas, or liquid on the tray. Do not deliver goods with high temperatures or soups to avoid damaging the robot or injuring the passer-by.
- Do not maintain the robot when the power is on.
- Cables on the ground should be put away in advance to prevent the robot from dragging them.
- All sharp-edge objects (such as decoration wastes, glasses, nails) should be removed from the ground to prevent damage to the robot chassis.
- A maximum speed of 0.8 m/s (2.62 ft/s) is recommended for safe operation. No playing is allowed in front of the robot to avoid unnecessary harm. Although the robot features automatic obstacle avoidance, there is a blind spot. Blocking the robot moving at a high speed may cause accidents.
- Do not deliver unpackaged drinks or beverages. Do not deliver liquids at high temperatures.
- The aisle should be at least 70 cm (27.56 in) wide for the robot to pass. In the case of a long aisle, a width of 1 m is recommended for smooth moving. A width of 2 m (6.56 ft) allows two robots to move in two directions (The required width depends on the technician's evaluation of the scene).
- The maximum possible slope is 8° for the robot. To prevent spilling, the suggested slope should be less than 5º, and the limit of 7.5° should not be exceeded. To prevent sliding, the robot should not be paused when moving uphill. To prevent falling, the slope should be at least 70 cm (27.56 in) wide, and the roll angle should not exceed 8°.
- It is necessary to add fences or other barriers at the edge of a staircase, entrance to a downslope, or other places where the robot is at risk of falling.
- Things that are black (for example, skirting line), polished (for example, wall), or transparent (for example, French window) at a height of 20 to 26cm (7.87 to 10.24 in) or below may interfere with the radar and cause abnormal moving of the robot. Such sites should be modified (e.g., posting stickers).
1.2 Instructions on power supply and power usage
- When the battery drops to 20%, the robot should be charged timely. Running at a low battery for a long time may impair battery life.
- If not used for a long time, the robot should be shut down to protect the battery.
- Always use the original rechargeable batteries and chargers. Do not charge your robot using non-original chargers.
- Charge the robot according to the power voltage indicated on the charger nameplate.
- If the robot battery is at fault, please contact the manufacturers for replacement, do not have it operated by a non-professional.
- Do not charge the robot near flammable and explosive objects.
- Store and charge the robot in a dry area at room temperatures. Never place the robot and charger in an area of elevated temperatures (＞40℃). Never let water get into the robot and charger.
- Protect the charger from collision damage.
- When the robot sends an alarm, disconnect the charger immediately.
