4. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace the side brushes on your ILife robot vacuum:

1. Power Off: Ensure your robot vacuum cleaner is powered off and disconnected from its charging base before beginning any maintenance.
2. Access Brushes: Carefully turn the robot vacuum upside down to access the underside where the side brushes are located.
3. Remove Old Brushes: Locate the existing side brushes. They are typically held in place by a single screw. Use a screwdriver (not included) to unscrew and remove the old, worn-out brushes. Note the color of the center (yellow or blue) and its corresponding position.
4. Install New Brushes: Take a new side brush. Match the color of the center of the new brush (yellow or blue) to the corresponding attachment point on the vacuum. Align the brush with the screw hole and secure it with the screw. Ensure the brush is firmly attached but not overtightened.
5. Repeat: Repeat the process for the other side brush if your model has two.
6. Verify: Once both brushes are installed, gently spin them by hand to ensure they rotate freely without obstruction.

5. Operating Considerations

After installing new side brushes, your robot vacuum should operate as usual. The side brushes are designed to sweep debris from edges and corners into the main cleaning path of the vacuum. No special operating procedures are required for the brushes themselves.

6. Maintenance

To maintain optimal cleaning performance and extend the lifespan of your side brushes:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically check the side brushes for tangled hair or debris. Use scissors or a small brush to carefully remove any obstructions.
• Replacement Frequency: Side brushes are wear-and-tear parts. It is recommended to replace them every 3-6 months, or sooner if they become visibly worn, bent, or damaged, depending on usage frequency and environment.
• Storage: Store unused brushes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after replacing the side brushes, consider the following:

• Brushes Not Spinning:
  • Ensure the brushes are correctly installed and the screws are tightened.
  • Check for any hair or debris caught around the brush motor or shaft.
  • Verify that the brush center color matches the vacuum's attachment point (some models may have specific left/right brushes).
• Reduced Cleaning Performance:
  • Inspect brushes for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure other vacuum components (main brush, filter, dustbin) are clean and functioning correctly.
