NOTE: The frequency of these procedures will depend on your particular system, its operating
environment, and the amount of usage. Operating in an environment with a lot of dust or dirt
will require more frequent cleaning. Use the intervals in this section as guidelines, and modify the
schedule as needed.
Tires
Occasionally clean the tires with a mild soapy solution. Remove any dirt or debris that may accumulate
on the tires, because these can degrade the robot's performance.
This applies to both the drive wheels and to the casters.
Axles
Keep the axles free of carpet, hair, string, or anything that may wrap around and bind up the platform's
drive.
Lasers
Occasionally clean the lenses of the laser rangefinder(s). Use only alcohol-based, non-abrasive cleaners,
and wipe thoroughly.
Charging Station Contacts
The two charging station contacts occasionally need to be cleaned. The suggested interval is 3 – 6 months,
depending on frequency of charging.
WARNING: Unplug power from the charging station before starting.
Remove the power cord at the charger.
Clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol.
CAUTION: Do not lubricate the charging station paddle. Lubrication will reduce the
life of the paddle.
