ionvac SmartClean V2 Front Wheel (Swivel Caster) Replacement

Introdução

Swivel wheels rotate 360 degrees and are designed to help your ionvac SmartClean V2 turn corners or change directions smoothly. Because of its swivel caster (or a wheel that is assembled with a rotating mount, much like the wheels on a shopping cart), these types of wheels can swivel while under a load. They are often sold as a universal wheel for robot vacuums and other machines to improve their efficiency. If your ionvac does not turn like it should, this may be a sign that the swivel wheel needs to be cleaned or replaced. Check out this video (for a Roomba, not an ionvac) for further instructions on cleaning a universal wheel, and why doing so improves performance.

This is a quick and easy replacement, and you will not need any tools to complete it. Remember to remove and reinstall all parts gently.
