Corrective Action
Ensure filter pump and booster pump are on and moving water. (You may need to
clean your pool filter system.)
Ensure the wall fitting screen is free of debris; you may need to remove and rinse.
Check for proper flow using Flow Gauge (provided). Adjust the flow at the wall
fitting if needed.
Check all feed hose connections and swivels for leaks.
Check for debris that may be jammed in the gear teeth on one of the front drive
wheels. Gently rotate the front wheels backward to dislodge debris.
Check to see if the rear wheels are spinning freely. Replace wheels if necessary.
Ensure the front (large) wheels reverse approximately every 2-1/2 minutes.
Usually indicates a full debris bag. Empty the debris bag.
Note: Cleaner at times will tilt on one side (on two wheels) during a turn
cycle. Watch the cleaner for a few minutes to see if it positions itself upright.
Ensure the front (large) wheels reverse approximately every 2-1/2 minutes.
Check for proper flow using Flow Gauge (provided). Adjust the flow at the wall fitting
if needed.
Check debris bag. Empty the debris bag if full.
Check for proper flow using Flow Gauge (provided). Adjust the flow at the wall fitting
if needed.
Reposition the thrust jet to increase climbing.
Note: The climbing ability of the cleaner depends on pool shape and available
water flow. It will climb better in pools without sharp angles or in the
transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.
Check the length of the feed hose. If it is too long it may cause the hose to tangle
or loop.
Ensure the feed hose is floating on the pool surface. Hose floats should be spaced
approximately 60cm (two feet) apart.
Ensure the hose swivels spin freely. Replace swivels if tight.
Ensure the feed hose has no kinks or bends.
Ensure the sweep hose regulator valve is fully open.
Ensure filter pump and booster pump are on and moving water. (You may need to
clean your pool filter system.)
Ensure wall fitting is properly installed. If leaking, O-ring may need to be replaced.
Contact your local pool professional - possible booster pump issue.
