The drive motor/wheel assemblies are a vital component to the R75.
the assembly includes:
- a drive motor
- a small gear system
- a drive wheel
- a motor controller
- the R75’s suspension system
Each of these components can be replaced individually, however, you will rarely find a single component being sold as a replacement, whereas the complete assembly can be ordered.
You may want to remove the drive assembly in order to replace a failed drive motor or to clean out hair or debris from the drive wheel. If a drive motor has failed, you should notice your robot’s ability to move become severely impaired, if not fail entirely.
It is important to occasionally inspect the wheels for any sort of wear and debris build up.

Push down on the tab of the battery connector using a set of tweezers and pull the connector away from the robot to free the wire.
-
Remove the battery from the device.
Here, you’re using tweezers, but you don’t indicate that in the guide steps. Instead of including the information in the special bullet, I would just integrate the tool into the actual procedure. Do you have pictures of you pushing the tab? Can they yank the wire, or do they need to pull gently? I would add a flipbook style action shot to make the procedure clearer in the pictures.

Flip the R75 to its underside.
-
Make sure the R75 is shut off.
Here, the device was already oriented this way, so the directions on the side sensor with using this prerequisite make the procedure confusing. Make sure to read through all guides to make sure you don’t have these kinds of continuity errors. Also, include the battery replacement as a prerequisite for all guides, and use the system to include the prerequisites, rather than putting this information in the note.

Where I can buy the Shark ION Robot R75 Drive Wheel Assembly Replacement?
Thanks for your help!
Do you know what the drive wheel motor cable is (see Step 6)? It's a 6 pin to 5 pin and the grooves are on the thin side and pitch of ~1.4mm. Possible a JST ZH?
I appreciate the step-by-step instructions with pictures... this was very helpful. However, my rv750 doesn't have the screws by the wheel assembly.
I've removed the screws, but it appears that I will need to separate the bottom from the top to access the wheel assemblies. Do you have a step=by step for the rv750 that has the wheel assembly enclosed?
The right wheel ass has a small gear striped inside, can you buy the small gears to repair the wheel drive?
I'm going to try these from Walmart
I have a shark remote vacuum cleaner whereby the pins to the connector to the wire harness broke on the wheel assembly. I need to have the pins resoldered to the connector... anyone able to help?
Here, you have misused the reminder bullet. The note bullet would be better in this case; I would also say how to turn it off, rather than just to do it. Avoid locate steps, and instead, move straight to the information about what to do. Use markup on the images to indicate where the component is. Be careful about using “remove” without other information about how to remove it, especially if there are multiple ways to remove something.
