5.2 Common Issues
- Water Tank Sensor Errors: If the robot stops with a water tank problem, ensure the sensor contacts are dry. Some users have found placing a small piece of plastic over the sensor contacts can prevent false alarms.
- Wheel Issues: If the front wheel shows wear or breaks, contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Battery Not Ready: If the robot is left on charge for too long, it might turn off and lose charge. Press the power button the night before use to ensure it's ready.
