Side Brush Module Inspection And Cleaning; Brush & Flapper Inspection And Cleaning - iRobot Roomba 570 Service Manual

SIDE BRUSH Module inspection and cleaning

If side brush is going backwards then the side brush module has entered anti-tassel behavior.
The side brush may spin slowly or briefly spin backwards in order to escape from carpet tassels
or wires. The robot may occasionally enter this behavior on thick or high-pile carpets. This is
normal. If it occurred when there were no tassels or wires, proceed with inspection.
Use a Philip's screwdriver to remove the side brush and clear away all hair and debris that is
wrapped around the hex shaft.
If the side brush does not spin after cleaning, replace side brush module.
BRUSH & FLAPPER inspection and cleaning
1. Remove brush guard by pulling on both yellow tabs
2. Remove brush caps and use scissors to cut any hair wrapped around the brush. Use the
Roomba cleaning tool to comb hair from the brush.
3. Remove and clean hair from Roomba's brush bearings
Notes:
For easier brush cap removal, try twisting the caps as you pull them off.
Do not attempt to run Roomba without brush caps or bearings! This could cause permanent
damage to the cleaning head module.
Brushes should be cleaned every 3-5 cycles, depending on the amount of hair and debris in the
user's environment.
