Assembly Instructions for a Roomba

The Roomba from iRobot, changed the way we clean our floors.

The Roomba from iRobot was the first in a line of home-cleaning robots that changed the way people clean their floors. The Roomba comes almost completely assembled, so the main thing you need to do is remove the cardboard from the bottom of the machine and install the battery pack. You can start using your Roomba as soon as your battery pack has fully charged. If you have any further questions, consult the user manual for your model. You can download a copy of your model's user manual at the link listed in the Resources section.

Instructions

1. Open the Roomba package and lay out the included pieces. Set aside everything except the Roomba body, the rechargeable battery pack and the battery charger.

2. Take the Roomba out of the plastic bag and turn it so that the wheels are facing you. Carefully remove the piece of cardboard that is covering the side brush.

3. Turn the Roomba right side up. Locate the power switch on the right hand side of the machine and turn it to the off position.

4. Turn Roomba upside down again and locate the roughly rectangular shape of the insertion slot for the battery back. Turn the battery pack so that the side tabs are closest to you. Use your fingertips to hold the battery pack by the tabs and gently guide it into the insertion slot on the bottom of the Roomba. You will hear a click when the battery pack is properly inserted.

5. Turn the Roomba right side up. Plug the battery charger into a wall outlet. Plug the other end of the charger into Roomba's battery charger socket. The charge light on the Roomba battery charger should light up. If it doesn't, reinsert the battery pack and try again.

6. Once your Roomba is fully charged, it is ready for use.
