Introduction
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.

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.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 8 screws indicated in red holding the base together.

Use the same screwdriver to remove the 8 screws indicated in orange which hold the rims (bumper arms).

Remove the rims from your ionvac and set them aside.

-
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).
