Possible Causes
Worn or hardened wheel treads, Contamination (oil, polish) on tires, Excessive weight from modifications, Floor treatment reducing friction
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and place it upside down.
Step-by-step:
- Clean wheel treads: Wipe the rubber tires with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove oils or floor polish residue. Dry thoroughly.
- Inspect tread wear: If the tread pattern is worn smooth or cracked, replace the drive wheel assemblies.
- Check floor conditions: Avoid using the robot immediately after applying floor polish or wax; wait until fully cured.
When to stop: If traction remains poor with new wheels, consider environmental factors or contact support.
