How to Remove and Install Robot R5 Covers

IMPORTANT: IMPROPERLY INSTALLED COVERS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGED PANELS AND WHEELS

Examples:

Note: The back of the robot is considered to be the side with the control panel.

Top Cover

Tools Required: None

Removal:

1. Hold the hand grip of the top cover at the back of the robot
2. Pull the cover upwards

Installation:

1. Hold the hand grip of the top cover
2. Lower the opposite end into the front top of the robot
3. Lower the hand grip side to the battery side of the robot
4. Ensure all corners and edges are flush with the top frame of the robot

Front Cover

Tools Required: 4mm Allen Key

Removal:

1. Move the gripper down, if possible, under the track level.
   1. You can use the lift button on the back of the robot to lower the gripper, or you can manually lower it by manipulating the lift brake.
   2. Establish a firm grip on the lift rod to ensure the gripper does not free fall when the brake is released.
   3. The lift brake is located behind the front panel. Pull up on the plunger to release the brake.
   4. Slowly and gently release the lift rod to let the gripper descend until it is about even with the tracks.
   5. Once the gripper is at the desired height, release the plunger to reactivate the brake.
2. Remove the two 4mm allen key screws
3. Pull out the front cover

Installation:

1. Slide the front cover into place. Ensure the two holes are aligned and the bottom edge is INSIDE the lip at the bottom of the robot.
2. Tighten the two 4mm allen key screws

Back Cover

Tools Required: None

Removal:

1. Loosen the two small hand knobs inside the back of the robots on the top edge. DO NOT loosen all the way.
2. As you're loosening the hand knobs, wiggle the back cover up and down. Keep loosening and shifting the cover until the cover is completely released.
3. Pull the sheet up and out

Installation:

1. Slide the cover into the bottom edge of the back of the robot, behind the wheels.
   1. Sometimes it's helpful to push out from the middle inside of the panel to ensure the panel seats in the channel on the charging port
2. Push the top edge of the cover into the top frame of the robot until it is flush. You may have to wiggle the hand knobs up and down and/or loosen them.
3. Tighten the hand knobs a little bit at a time. Alternate between the left and right knobs. As you tighten, ensure the back cover is catching and not popping back out.

Right and Left Side Covers

Tools Required: 4mm Allen Key, Phillips Head Screwdriver

Removal:

1. Remove the top and back covers
2. Lower the gripper down so that you can get to the screws on the front edge of the robot. The screws are located in the black channel on the right and left edges of the front of the robot.
3. Loosen the hex screws on the front edge of the robot. DO NOT loosen all the way. Push the screws inward so they are flush with the surface.
4. Remove the Phillips Head screws on the back of the robot. These screws are short. Be careful not to drop the screws into the bottom of the robot. 
   1. TIP: Keep a flexible magnetic tool nearby in case you drop a screw into the robot
5. Pull the side panel down, out, and up. Slide it toward the back of the robot and behind the wheels. You may need to wiggle the panel a bit and loosen the hex screws more.

Installation:

1. Ensure the nuts on the hex screws at the front of the robot are not loosened too much. The screw head should be flush with the surface, and the nut should be inside the channel.
2. Slide the panel from the back of the robot behind the back wheel at an angle.
3. Push the panel down and toward the robot and ensure all edges are flush.
4. Line up the screw holes on the back of the robot.
5. Tighten the Phillips screws on the back side of the robot. It is easier to tighten the screws in the back before the front ones so you don't have to worry about the holes aligning.
6. Tighten the hex screws on the front side of the robot
7. Ensure the corners and edges of the panel are flush and have not popped out anywhere.
