In order to ensure successful vacuuming runs, it is best to do a quick Mechanical Check at the beginning of each shift. This should take less than 2 minutes to complete and will save time in the long run by ensuring the best robot performance.

Instructions
-
Lift up the Lid Handle until you hear it click into place.
-
Open the Lid and make sure that a bag is installed and fully seated into place.
If a bag is installed, then the robot is ready. Close the Lid.
-
If a bag is not installed, then install a new bag (How to Change the Bag) and close the Lid.
-
-
Tip the robot onto its side (do not turn the robot upside-down), make sure all 4x Wheels look unobstructed and move them back and forth a bit to make sure they can spin.
-
If the Wheels are clogged, remove any noticeable debris and try again. If the Wheels still do not move, then the robot needs maintenance. Set the robot aside and use a different robot until the Wheel is fixed.
-
-
While the robot is on its side, inspect the roller. Make sure you can turn the roller freely and that there is not a large build up of hair or debris.
-
If the roller will not turn, remove any noticeable debris and try again. If the roller still will not move, then the robot needs maintenance. Set the robot aside and use a different robot until the Roller is fixed.
-
-
Put the robot back down on its wheels. Inspect the Rubber Skirt in the front of the robot. It should be attached properly and not askew or detached.
-
If the Rubber Skirt is detached, then the robot needs maintenance. Set the robot aside and use a different robot until the Skirt is fixed.
-
If the Rubber Skirt is damaged or in poor condition, then the robot needs maintenance. Set the robot aside and use a different robot until the Skirt is fixed.

The Pre-Run Mechanical Check is complete.
