ionvac SmartClean V2 Motor Wheel Replacement

소개

Robot vacuums may experience some difficulty maneuvering through a room or are stuck for a number of reasons. Cleaning the wheels under your ionvac may help. However, if your ionvac SmartClean V2 wheels are constantly operating poorly or fail entirely, it may be a sign that the motor wheels must be cleaned or replaced. It is important to occasionally inspect the wheels for any wear and build up of debris.

This guide will show you how to replace the motor wheels and requires more time and attention to detail than other ionvac guides. You will need a Phillips #2 (PH2) screwdriver and a Jimmy tool (or another prying tool) to complete it. Remember to remove and reinstall all parts gently.

Flip your ionvac right-side up, turning it so that the front filter vents are facing forward and the power button is furthest from you.
