Possible Causes

Rugs too thick for wheel clearance, Loose cables on floor, Worn drive wheels reducing height, Weak wheel motors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF the robot before freeing it from obstacles.

  • 1. Prepare environment:
    • Remove or tape down loose cables.
    • Fold or remove very thick rugs during cleaning.
  • 2. Check wheels:
    • Inspect drive wheels for wear or damage.
    • Ensure they move up and down freely.
  • 3. Use boundary tools:
    • If your Kyvol model supports magnetic strips or virtual walls, place them around problem areas.
  • 4. Test on different surfaces:
    • Run the robot on hard floors to confirm it moves normally.
  • 5. If it still struggles on minor thresholds:
    • Wheel motors or springs may be weak; consider replacing the drive wheel assemblies.
