+This instruction will guide you on how to replace the sliding plates. This instruction could also be used if you need to scrape you sliding plates or check the condition.
 Sliding plates are a wear part that needs to be replaced when symptoms occur. For how long one pair of sliding plates last is all individual for each EVO Cleaner. It all depends on how heavy effected the telescope is in each program and how often the robot washes.
-For more detailed information regarding the sliding plates, go to exploded view: [[:telescope_assembly|Wide sliding plate]] and [[:middle_beam|Narrow sliding plate]].
