Replacing the side brushes

2 To replace the side brushes, grab the old side brushes by the bristles and pull them off

their shafts.

Replacing the rechargeable battery

Replace the rechargeable battery when you can no longer recharge it or when it runs out of power

quickly. You can order a new rechargeable battery under order number CP0111 for FC8710 and

order number CP0110 for FC8700.

1 Let the robot run until the rechargeable battery is empty to make sure that the rechargeable

battery is completely discharged before you remove it and dispose of it.

right direction.
