Reassembling the Brushes

1. Put the Self-Adjusting Cleaning Deck back together by inserting the square ends of the two Brushes into the square

sockets in the Cleaning Deck.

2. Insert the other ends of the Brushes into the small holes in the Brush Coupler.

3. Lower the Brush Coupler into its slot and screw it into place.

4. Swing the Wire Guards back in place and snap them down into their slots in front of the Release Tabs.

Cleaning the Vacuum Inlet

Over time,debris will accumulate in the Vacuum Inlet.Empty

the Vacuum Inlet every 10 floor cleanings or so to keep air

flowing freely,especially if you notice a decline in Roomba’s

cleaning performance.

1. If Roomba is on, turn it off and empty the Particle Bin.

2. Place Roomba upside down (cleaning surface up) on a

flat,padded surface with the front Bumper facing away

from you.

3. Press in the white rectangular Release Tab on the

Vacuum Inlet Lid to release the latch (Figure 25a),and

pull upward to remove the Lid.

4. Shake the debris into a trash receptacle.

5. Turn the Vacuum Impeller, the fan-shaped mechanism

on the left side of the Vacuum Inlet,with your finger to

make sure that it spins freely (Figure 25b).

6. Guide the hinge tabs on the Vacuum Inlet Lid back into

their holes (Figure 25c),and press in and down on the

white rectangular Release Tab to snap the Lid securely

back in place.

Cleaning the

Main Brushes

It is important that you regularly remove and clean the

Main Cleaning Brushes of your Roomba.Debris can

accumulate around the Brushes and the Brush ends,or

axles,causing a decrease in cleaning ability and poten-

tially damaging the unit.If the Main Brushes are not

cleaned regularly your Roomba may seriously mal-

function.

In most households it’s a good idea to clean the Main

Cleaning Brushes after every ten floor cleanings.In

houses with pets or long hair,clean the Brushes after

every five floor cleanings.The Main Cleaning Brush

axles cannot be checked without removing the

Brushes from Roomba. It is a simple process that

you will master quickly with a little practice.

1. If Roomba’s power is on,turn it off.Empty the

Particle Bin and place Roomba upside down

(cleaning surface up) on a flat,padded surface

such as a towel, with the Front Bumper facing

away from you.

2. Unlatch the Wire Guards that cover the Main

Cleaning Brushes from the two Release Tabs

(Figure 22): Push down on the Wire Guards to

flatten and elongate them,and pull the front edge

of the Wire Guard (the edge nearest you) toward

you to swing it up and over both Release Tabs to

expose Brushes.(see Figure 23a-b).

3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,completely

loosen the screw in the Brush Coupler,the compo-

nent that holds the Brushes in place on the right

side of the unit (Figure 23c). Note that the screw

will not come all the way out of the Brush Coupler

so you cannot lose it.Pull up the Brush Coupler

(see inset in Figure 23d.) The Main Cleaning

Brushes will come up with the Brush Coupler.

4. Pull the Brush Coupler off the end of the Brushes,

then pull the Brushes to the right and up,out of

Roomba (Figure 23d).

5. Clean any hair or other debris off the Brushes.

6. Completely clean any debris from around the

Brush Axles (Figure 2

4).

remove any debris

built up or wound

around the ends and

metal axles of both

Cleaning Brushes.

Figure 23a-b: Unlatch the Wire Guards from the two

Release Tabs by pushing down on the Wire Guards

to flatten and elongate them, and pulling the front

edge of the Wire Guard toward you to swing it up

and over each Release Tab.Once the Wire Guards have

been freed from the Release Tabs,they can be swung

up and away,exposing the Main Cleaning Brushes.

screwdriver,then pull out the plastic Brush

Coupler and the two Main Cleaning Brushes. If

there is a thumbscrew on the Brush Coupler,you may

be able to loosen the screw by turning the thumb-

screw with your fingers.
