5.3 Installing Side Brushes
Press the side brushes onto the square posts at the bottom of the robot until they click into place. Ensure the L and R markings on the brushes match the corresponding markings on the robot.
5.4 Preparing for Mopping
To use the mopping function, fill the water tank portion of the 2-in-1 tank with clean water. Attach a clean microfiber cloth to the mopping module and then install the module onto the robot. Ensure the tank is securely inserted into the robot.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Cleaning Modes
The ZACO V5 Max offers several cleaning modes to suit different needs:
- Auto Cleaning: The robot cleans systematically using intelligent gyro navigation, covering the entire area in efficient paths. This is the default and most common cleaning mode.
- Edge Cleaning: The robot cleans along walls and furniture edges.
- Spot Cleaning: The robot cleans a specific area in a spiral pattern, ideal for concentrated dirt.
