Warranty Information
Makita provides a 24-month warranty for this product, covering parts and labor. Original Makita batteries and chargers are recommended.
This robotic cleaner cruises around the floor, avoiding obstacles using ultrasonic sensors and capturing dust with side brushes, main brush, and vacuum fan. It is controlled via a remote control. Basic operations involve powering on the device, selecting a cleaning mode (Pattern or Random), and starting/stopping cleaning. The battery indicator shows remaining power. The unit enters sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. It can be confined to specific areas using boundary tape.
Maintenance includes cleaning brushes, wheels, main brush, sensors, filter, and dust box. Troubleshooting guides help resolve issues indicated by lamps and buzzers.

| Indication | Cause/Remedy |
|---|---|
| A lamp flashes once, twice, or 6 times for each sequence | The drive wheel is hanging down. The Robotic Cleaner has gotten stuck on a barrier. The Robotic Cleaner has been exposed to direct sunlight. The Robotic Cleaner has stopped on a black floor. → Move the Robotic Cleaner away from the area. If the error occurs again, clean the cliff sensors (Fig. O-1). |
| A lamp flashes 3 times for each sequence | A bumper sensor error has occurred. → Push the bumper (Fig. P-2) 10 times. |
| A lamp flashes 4 times for each sequence | Threads and hairs have tangled in the drive wheels. → Remove them from the drive wheels (Fig. M-2). The Robotic Cleaner passed through a confined area where its top surface was pushed down. This is not a malfunction. |

| A and all lamps flash once for each sequence | The remaining battery charge was not enough ( or ) to start cleaning. → Fully charge the battery cartridges. |
| A and lamps light up | Threads and hairs are tangled in the drive wheels. → Remove them from the drive wheels (Fig. M-2). The Robotic Cleaner passed through a confined area where its top surface was pushed down. → This is not a malfunction. |
| and lamps light up | A sensor error has occurred. → Turn the Robotic Cleaner OFF and then ON. |
| and lamps light up | An error has occurred in the Robotic Cleaner. → Turn the Robotic Cleaner OFF and then ON. |
| lamp flashes once for each sequence | Threads and hairs are tangled in the side brushes and main brush. → Remove them from the brushes (Figs. A, N-3). |
| lamp lights up | The dust box is full of dust and dirt or the filter is clogged. → Empty the dust box (Fig. K-2) and clean the filter (Fig. K-5). |
