  • Page 39: Main Brushes

    Main Brushes bObi uses a dual brush cleaning system. It is recommended that you open and clean bObi’s main brushes after every 2 to 3 cleaning tasks. To open and clean the brushes: Flip bObi over, so the front wheel is farthest from you and the side brush is on your left.
  • Page 40 If there is anything wrapped around the bristles or brush ends (hair, strings, etc.), use scissors to cut it out and then use the cleaning tool and a paper towel to remove it.

  • Page 45: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting...
  • Page 46 At least one of the four floor detection sensors located on bObi’s underbelly are blocked or dirty. What to do: Notice the kind of flooring bObi is working on. On dark carpets or rugs, cover bObi’s sensors with her blindfold stickers to resolve the error.
  • Page 47 For a video guide and step-by-step instructions, refer to bObi’s owners’ corner at owners.bobsweep.com. On thick rugs or shag carpet, take out the rubber main and let bObi sweep with her soft-bristled, blue main brush only. If the problem persists on hard flooring with a clean main brush and no congestion in the brush motor area, it is likely that bObi has an internal problem that bObsweep support will be able to resolve.
  • Page 48 Error Code 3 (Er 03)- Battery If bObi’s battery is 100% empty, she won’t be able to charge using her station and may show error 3 (Er 03) on her remote. What to do: Plug the charging adapter directly into the inlet below her ON/OFF switch. bObi’s screen will flash and turn on, and she will make a short, chirping sound.
  • Page 49 What to do: Take out the dustbin, empty it, and clean the four connector electrodes (2 on bObi and 2 on the dustbin). Verify that the electrodes located on the red strip spring freely and are not stuck or bent.

  • Page 51 If you notice that bObi is not working in her usual way or repeatedly runs into a cer- tain error, you may want to perform a checkup test to find out what is causing the issue. bObi’s remote can be used to test all of her sensors and electronic parts in the span of a few minutes.

  • Page 53 0100 will appear on the test mode indicator. Use a piece of paper, a roll of paper towels, or a flat white surface to imitate a wall in front of bObi.

  • Page 61 2. How long should bObi’s battery last? bObi’s running time depends on the type of floor she is cleaning, the speed she is set on, and the age and wear of the battery. On average, she works continuously for 1 to 1.5 hours on a full battery. When her battery life falls below 15%, she auto- matically starts to look for her charging station.
  • Page 62 5. How often should I clean bObi’s brushes? bObi’s brushes do a lot of the work picking up hair and larger debris, so it is recom- mended that you clean the main and side brushes every 1 to 4 uses.
  • Page 63 Use bObi’s favorite accessory! bObi blOck can be placed anywhere to create a 10’ barrier of closed off space. When bObi approaches any space running along the 10’ signal emitting from blOck, bObi will know the area is off limits and she will back away to clean elsewhere.
  • Page 64 11. Why does bObi start even though I did not tell her to clean? bObi begins cleaning on her own when she is left on her schedule or if her auto-re- sume feature is enabled. If bObi previously ran out of energy in GO mode and has since just finished recharging, she will automatically resume her job.
