OPERATING THE MACHINE
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down ramps.
IMPORTANT!
Do not operate autonomously when ambient RF signal falls at or near the frequency range of 340 MHz to 460 MHz.
Operating Modes
The Nilfisk Liberty SC50 has three operating modes:
•
Manual Operating Mode: Provides normal functioning of the machine, without autonomy. In this mode the machine is driven and controlled by an operator,
and operates in a conventional manner. The machine must be driven in the manual mode while creating plans the machine will follow during Autonomous
Operation. This includes driving to and from the autonomous scrubbing plans (locations). Full details of the Manual Operating Mode are contained in the
OPERATING THE MACHINE MANUAL MODE section of this manual.
- This mode is active whenever the Manual Operation Indicator (H) is lit.
•
Autonomous Mode: The Autonomous Operating Mode is used to perform scrubbing operations automatically, without active Operator involvement. This is
done by recording a specific path to follow or the perimeter of an area.
- Plans may also include specific actions the machine will make while performing the scrubbing activity. Such actions might include knowing when to raise
or lower the scrub deck, how much solution to dispense. When played back, the plan tells the machine exactly what to do; what path it should follow, and
what scrubbing actions it should take along the way.
- To operate autonomously, the machine needs to always know exactly where it is in relation to the recorded plan, and the operating environment. This
mapping process operates constantly, in every operating mode, whenever the machine is turned on.
- This mode is active whenever Autonomous Mode Indicator (S1) is lit and Autonomous Indicator (X25) is displayed.
•
Recording Mode: Used to create plans (either CopyCat™ or Fill-In) the machine will follow when scrubbing autonomously. Before the machine can
operate autonomously, the operator must record a specific plan(s) to follow while scrubbing. During recording, both the route to travel and scrub settings are
recorded and saved.
- This mode is active whenever both the Manual Operation Indicator (H) and Autonomous Mode Indicator (S1) are lit.
STARTING THE MACHINE
1
Follow the instructions in "Preparing the Machine for Use" section of this manual and verify the following;
• Location tag is properly installed to a wall
• Location Tag Position is set (required for autonomous operation).
• Vision and sensor lenses are clean, see CLEAN SENSOR LENSES section.
• Batteries are fully charged.
• Exterior of machine is free of damage. Report any damage to your supervisor.
• Proper brush/pad is correctly installed.
• Squeegee is installed.
• Solution tank is full.
• Recovery tank is empty.
• Ensure that area to be scrubbed is clear of obstacles that are not fixed, such as hoses, buckets or pails, boxes,
electrical cords, carts, pallets, etc.

See Figure 3-1. Step onto the Platform (26) compressing Operator's Presence Pedal (25).
3
Place the Magnetic SmartKey (Z) onto the SmartKey Reader (A). Press the Power Switch (B). This will activate the
Display (X).
NOTE: At startup, the machine conducts a system self-test for the Autonomous Operating Mode. This test takes
about 70 seconds to complete. Display will indicate the system is booting by showing Autonomous Indicator along
with a Countdown Timer (X25 & X26) during the startup sequence. If the system fails to boot the countdown timer will be replaced by a question mark "?"
for a few seconds then machine will display a fault code and go into manual mode.
4
Reference the Battery Condition Indicator (X3) and check for any Fault Codes (X2) before proceeding. If a critical fault is present call Nilfisk for service.
The Manual Operation Indicator (H) will be lit.

6
To transport the machine to the work area, first push the Forward Drive Switch (Q) or Reverse Drive Switch (R) to select the direction of travel and then apply
pressure with your foot on the Go Pedal (24). An audible alert from the speaker will sound in reverse.
NOTE: Stepping off of the Operator's Presence Pedal (25) for more than 2 seconds will cause the Forward or Reverse Drive Switch Indicator to turn off. The
operator will need to select forward or reverse again before the machine can be driven.
7
Adjust machine speed by rotating the Speed Adjustment Knob (P) clockwise to go faster or counterclockwise to go slower.
NOTE: While the machine is operating in autonomous mode the machine's speed is set by the computer and not adjustable by using the speed adjustment
knob.
