Before you begin

Follow the instructions for the exact robot and dock. Do not assume that a filter is washable, that two similarly named docks use the same liquid or cleaning method, or that a removable battery is intended for owner replacement. Stop if a procedure reaches a sealed pump, motor, battery pack, wiring, or damaged electrical component. Use the manufacturer’s service route when the manual does not describe an owner procedure.
