How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn the robot OFF before handling the side brush.
- 1. Inspect side brush: Check for bent or overly stiff bristles. Replace with a genuine Bosch side brush if using a third‑party part.
- 2. Clean brush hub: Remove hair and debris from the hub and shaft.
- 3. Test on different surfaces: Observe behavior on hard floors vs. carpets; scattering is more noticeable on hard floors.
