ionvac SmartClean V2 Bumper Sensor Replacement

Introducción

If your ionvac SmartClean V2 is running into objects while cleaning your floors, it may be a sign that the bumper must be cleaned, replaced, or reinstalled correctly.

This guide will show you how to replace the bumper and requires more time and attention to detail than other ionvac guides. You will need a Phillips #2 (PH2) screwdriver and a Jimmy tool (or another prying tool) to complete it. Remember to remove and reinstall all parts gently.

Caution: Before beginning, turn off the ionvac and place it on a level surface.
Keep in mind that your ionvac has many small screws that can be easily lost. Using a magnetic project mat is best to prevent misplacing any parts.
Flip your ionvac right-side up, turning it so that the front filter vents are facing forward and the power button is furthest from you.

Flip your ionvac right-side up and tilt it upwards at a 45 degree angle.
Use a Jimmy or prying tool to wedge the sharp end through the bottom crevice (below the sensors).
