My question is is it ok to use compressed air to clean the yarbo core unit. I get grass clippings all over inside the core after it mows. I don’t want to bang around in there with a shop vac and the leaf blower doesn’t get into those little areas.

Yes, it is fine, gently use it of course, much like when using a leaf blower. I would be careful around the speaker and some of the connectors if you get too close with it.

Yes, you can absolutely use compressed air to clean the Yarbo core unit! As Bryan suggested, just be careful around the speaker and some of the connectors to avoid any potential damage. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask—we’re happy to help!

Thanks, I guess I assumed this was ok. This is how I clean it. Indeed not at speaker, typically only lightly blow out that area. How does one clean out the caster wheels? Mine are filled with decaying grass. I tried blowing it out with little success, did get them rolling ok. Got a good whiff from the decaying grass though.

never noticed this problem myself. I usually just hose out the underneath periodically. I’ve seen people take theirs apart. Not sure how they are doing that, but that was mostly to grease the bearings.

I had to remove the castors, then pop off the wheel covers to clean out the grass. I ended up replacing them with a different caster that had smaller covers so they could be blown out.

Good to know. Thanks for this, I may look at getting some on hand just in case. Any particular one that worked well? I am able to keep them rolling, but a little more friction than I would expect.

These are the ones I bought, recommended by another user on a Yarbo FB site. I can’t find the other post right now: [image] Amazon.com: SYRATION Shopping Cart Wheel 5" x1.25" 3/8" Bore Polyurethane Wheel...

They jammed 2-3 times (not sure if I should count wheels independently!). What seems to work (jury still out) is clean well (including WD40). Wait for them to dry. Then apply grease (I use SuperLube). Did not jam since… Still need to remove the decaying grass (and occasional dog you know what…)

I am probably going to try tomorrow. I started getting the board error today. I found the mower sitting in the back yard saying “adjusting height” so I sent it back to the charger and figured I needed to pull the mower module off and clean it / replace blades. I have also had restarts fix the stuck in adjusting height before. Thing ran fine yesterday. So I swapped out the mower with the blower and sent it on it’s way. Well I found it like 20 min later driving around not blowing. So I checked the connection on the blower module by pushing it in good and restarting. Got the power board error… dun dun dun. Customer service is looking into it but I cant help but think that maybe a wire just got pulled too hard with the mower bouncing around. The connector on the mower module looks like it has either bent or almost like it melted. I know this can happen from poor connection. I need to clean everything out from inside the core and compressed air will start it. The next nightmare will to be to get to that board that is sealed in there like it is. I am betting one of the wires just plucked loose.
