navigate. Any substance that reduces the AIV’s traction with the floor will impair its ability to
drive, stop, turn, and navigate. Pay particular attention to areas around goals and frequently-
traveled paths.
LD Cart Transporter and Cart
Some parts of the transporter require periodic cleaning. The following table gives a summary
of cleaning procedures for the LD Cart Transporter system.

NOTE:The safety scanning laser will display a flashing icon of a windshield and wiper
when it detects that its lens needs cleaning.
NOTE:When the tires or floor get dirty, the wheels will tend to slip, and the AIV
can fail to localize. This is common near goals. Both the floor and the tires need to
be kept clean.
NOTE:The frequency of these procedures will depend on your particular system,
its operating environment, and the amount of usage. Operating in an environment
with a lot of dust or dirt will require more frequent cleaning. Use the intervals in
this section as guidelines, and modify the schedule as needed.
Tires
Occasionally clean the tires with a mild soapy solution. Remove any dirt or debris that may
accumulate on the tires, because these can degrade the AIV’s performance.
Casters
Occasionally clean the casters with a mild soapy solution. Remove any dirt or debris that may
accumulate on them, because these can degrade the AIV’s performance.
This applies to the casters on the cart transporter as well as on the cart.
Axles
Keep the axles free of hair, string, or anything that may wrap around and bind up the plat-
form’s drive.
