4. Using the Product
Warning
If Winbot is used to clean a window above ground level, the Safety Pod MUST be used.
Winbot must be used in strict accordance with the directions in the Instruction Manual. Ecovacs Robotics, Inc. can not
be held liable or responsible for any damages or injuries caused due to improper use.
Note: Before operating the Winbot, please carefully read the entire contents of this Instruction Manual. Any
operation inconsistent with the instructions in the Manual may cause damage to the product or cause personal injury.
The Winbot is intended to be used for maintenance cleaning on common windows. The product is NOT
intended to replace heavy duty or first time cleaning.

Turn the Winbot unit over to attach the Cleaning Pads. Attach the large Cleaning Pad
●
to the front floating plate, making sure to cover the entire plate. Attach the small
cleaning pad to the small area provided in the rear of the unit. Make sure the Rear
Cleaning Pad is placed exactly within its velcro area. Take care not to cover
any part of the Cupule (suction ring), or the plate that holds it, with the Rear
Cleaning Pad. NOTE: Cleaning Pads are removable and machine washable.
After charging the Winbot's Back Up Battery, plug the Winbot into the Power Adapter
●
and plug the Power Adapter into a receptacle close to the window to be cleaned.
NOTE: Before cleaning the outside or inside of a window check for possible
obstructions on the glass (refer to section 2.4 in this Manual). Please make sure there
is 4" clearance between the window and curtains so Winbot can move freely on
the window. Blinds/shades must be pulled completely open. Outside windows
should have 4" clearance between window and any outdoor plants or shrubs.
To use Winbot on an interior window that is at ground level, please skip the
●
Safety Pod instructions (the next 6 steps).
To use the Winbot on the outside of a window above ground level, the Safety
●
Pod MUST be used.
Make sure that there is enough power cord for the WINBOT to clean the entire
●
window without restricting its movement. If there is not enough cord, it is not
safe to use the WINBOT on that particular window until a WINBOT Extension
Cord is attached(Extension Cord sold separately).
Loop one end of the Safety Rope around the Safety Pod's channel and pull it
●
tight.
Tie the other end of the Safety Rope to the nut on the power cord and tighten.
●
If an Extension Cord is attached the Safety Rope should still be tied to the
●
nut on the power cord.
Note: Do NOT attach the Safety Rope to the thin part of the cord.
Press the Safety Pod suction cup FIRMLY on the inside, lower corner of the window.
●
Make sure the Safety Pod suction cup is securely in place.
Immediately prior to placing the Winbot on the window, lightly spray the Front
●
Cleaning Pad with the provided Cleaning Solution. The pad should be
damp, not wet. Do NOT spray the back pad as this pad is for wiping the
window after the treads.
Grasp the Winbot by the handle and move the switch under the handle to the
●
ON position (Center). Place the Winbot horizontally on the window, making
sure it is at least 4 inches from the lower corners of the window. A slight
noise will be heard. This is the vacuum motor creating suction to hold the
Winbot onto the window.
When the indicator light turns BLUE, Winbot has attached itself to the
●
window and you can let go of the handle.
If cleaning the outside of a window, close the window as far as possible
●
without pinching or damaging the supply cord.
