i-mop® Lite User manual
Auto scrubber for hard floor surfaces
Model part No.: 1273252- SCRBR, [I-MOP LITE, GLOBAL, CORD, CHARGER
Form number: 9030350
Revision: 03 (02/2025)
Preface
Thank you for choosing the i-mop® Lite, the auto scrubber that cleans faster, cleaner, safer, greener, and is better for everyone. The i-mop® Lite's compact design allows you to clean right to the edge and under obstacles, minimizing manual scrubbing. The battery operated i-mop® Lite is equipped with two counter-rotating brushes that provide a deep scrub and a great cleaning result. The i-mop® Lite significantly reduces the amount of water and chemicals needed which leads to a greener result. It also reduces the risk of slippery floors.
Antibacterial tanks
The tanks on the i-mop® use an antibacterial mix-in to make the plastic safer both inside and outside. Because it is mixed into the plastic, the effect will last the lifetime of the tank. The reduction of bacteria reduces the odours coming from the recovery tank and protects operators who handle the tank every day. Bacterial reduction in contact with the tank wall has been certified and tested at ≥99.99% efficacy.

1. Introduction
The i-mop® Lite is a safe, user-friendly machine. This manual helps you to get started and explains the operation and maintenance procedure. You will be pleasantly surprised by the fast and effective use of the battery operated i-mop® Lite. The batteries must be fully charged before use. Refer to the operating manual supplied with battery charger (p/n 1263273) for correct charging procedure.
This manual is intended for those who work with the i-mop® Lite and/or perform daily maintenance. The manual must be read fully before the first actions. This manual describes the correct method of use, safety measures, maintenance and transport.
The manufacturer continuously improves all their products based on user experience and feedback. Any deviations between the texts and/or images from the manual and your i-mop® Lite can therefore arise from the difference in model or from possible changes due to continuous development and innovation.
1.1. Intended use of the product
The i-mop® Lite is a specialized machine for scrubbing hard floor surfaces. You can use any type of water-based scrubbing detergent.
The fluid tank, brushes and squeegee come in HACCP color coded versions (blue, green, red, yellow and orange). All three items can be easily replaced. This allows you to use different cleaning solutions, — for instance, when you move from the food preparing area to the restaurant. Make sure that the color code for the fluid tank, brush and squeegee ALWAYS match each other.
1.2. Non-intended use of the product
- NEVER operate the i-mop® Lite near flammable dusts, liquids or vapors.
- NEVER operate the i-mop® Lite when flammable or poisonous liquids like gasoline, oil, acids, or other volatile substances are on the floor.
- DO NOT fill the i-mop® Lite with any flammable detergent. ONLY use the water-based cleaning solutions.
- DO NOT use water that exceeds 113°F / 45°C. Using water warmer than this temperature will void the tank warranty.
- DO NOT use cleaning solutions with a pH level below 3 or above 11 in order to prevent damage to sensitive components.
- DO NOT use the i-mop® Lite outdoors or on uneven surfaces.
- DO NOT operate this i-mop® Lite over electrical floor outlets in order to avoid electrical shock.
- NO RIDERS! Do not carry passengers on top of the i-mop® Lite.
- DO NOT use the i-mop® Lite as stepladder or platform.
- DO NOT store the i-mop® Lite outside in order to avoid damage to electronic components.
- ONLY use manufacturer-supplied parts for maintenance.
- KEEP AWAY from children! The i-mop® Lite is a professional cleaning machine to be used by trained adults only.
1.3. Lifespan
Each i-mop® Lite is guaranteed to operate for at least 2000 hours. The wear on brushes and squeegee heavily depends on the roughness of the surface. They need to be checked regularly.
1.4. Modifications
It is not permitted to make modifications to the design of the i-mop® Lite without consultation and permission from the manufacturer. This affects the warranty, see section 1.6 of this manual.

- Mark the job site using a wet floor marker.
- Crouch down while holding the scrub deck firmly with one hand (Figure 16, pos 2).
- Push the handle forward with your other hand (Figure 16, pos 1).
- Bring the scrub deck slowly down to the floor. This will enable power to the machine.
- Stand behind the i-mop® Lite. Choose your cleaning mode via the buttons on the control panel (Figure 17, pos 1 to 4). You can select the options independently or combined.
| Mode | Press |
|---|---|
| Brush only | Brush button |
| Vacuum only | Vacuum button |
| Use cleaning solution | Cleaning solution button |
| Use Eco mode | Eco button |
| Brush and cleaning solution | Brush button and cleaning solution button |
| Brush and cleaning solution and vacuum | Brush, vacuum and cleaning solution buttons |
| Brush and Eco and vacuum | Brush, vacuum and Eco buttons |
- Hold the handle with both hands.
- Squeeze the trigger on the handle (Figure 17, pos 5). This will also start the i-mop® Lite
