    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 Use the cleaning tool, paper tow- els, and a can of compressed air to fully remove dust, dirt, and hair from the brushes as well as the brush holders inside of bObi. 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.

    Side Brush bObi uses her side brush to closely clean corners and along walls. Trapped dirt and dust can interfere with side brush’s ability to move freely and may reduce bObi’s efficiency. To clean the side brush: Using a Phillips screwdriver, un- screw the center screw of the side brush.

    Checkup Guide...
  • 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 52 Test bObi’s floor detecting sensors Remove bObi’s side brush before testing her floor sensors. bObi’s floor detection sensors are the first item tested when bObi is put into test mode. In this test mode, numbers 1-6 located on top of the remote represent bO- bi’s 4 infrared floor detection sensors and the two floor detection sensors located in bObi’s left and right wheels.
  • Page 53 Test the battery While in test mode 0001, press LEFT on the remote. The number will change to 0002. In this mode, the main 4-digit number on the screen indicates the voltage of bObi’s battery in millivolts (mv). Under normal circumstances this number ranges between 1400 and 1600.
  • Page 54 Test the touch sensors 80 tiny touch sensors surround bObi’s front. Test them while in same test mode as the wall detection sensors (0100). Press on any of the small points on the left side of the bumper and the number 6 will be underlined. Do the same to the right side and the number 7 will be underlined.
  • Page 55 Test the left and right wheels, brushes, and vacuum motor Turn bObi upside down and lay her on a flat surface. In test mode 0200, press RIGHT on the remote to enter test mode 0300. In this mode you can test the left and right wheels, main and side brushes, and vacuum fan’s motor.

    General information and FAQ...
  • Page 60 bObi’s Cleaning Behavior bObi’s cleaning pattern may look quite different from the way a human would clean: She may travel in a straight line, follow along walls, or zigzag across a small area. Sometimes she may seem to be ignoring some spaces or spending too much time on others —...
  • Page 61 1. Where can I find bObi’s training videos? bObi’s “how-to” videos can be found at bObi’s owners’ corner at http://owners.bobsweep.com. 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.
  • 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. If you notice a thick covering of hair, dust, and debris on her brushes, remove and clean them like you would if you owned a broom.
  • Page 63 8. bObi is having trouble landing her charging station. Where is the best place to put the station? bObi finds her station through the transmission of WiFi signals. bObi will better locate her station when the station is placed at an open area along. More space allows bObi to adjust her position as she approaches the station to make a perfect landing.
  • 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.
