DOLPHIN CLEANER DX3, DX4, DX6, USER GUIDE
Your Dolphin cleaner is equipped with brushes that contain sponges. Place the cleaner in the
water at one end of the pool and they will absorb water and become soft. The cleaner will sink
to the bottom of the pool. Uncoil the cable and lay it out on the pool deck to relax any kinks.
Place just enough cable in the pool to reach the other end of the pool, and connect it to the
power supply. The power supply should always be at least 10' from the pool edge and be
placed in the shade if possible to protect it from the sun. ​ D o not under any circumstances use
an extension cord to operate the power supply.
Turn the cleaner on and for the first 20 minutes it will map your pool noting any steps, ladders,
walls, or swim outs and memorize them for reference. After this time, the cleaner will
systematically clean your pool for the remainder of the cleaning cycle, using this information. At
the end of the cycle the cleaner will shut off. This is the time to clean the filter bag located in
the bottom of the cleaner. Clogged filter bags reduce scanning and cleaner efficiency. Every 2
months you can wash the filter bag in the washing machine on the synthetic cycle. Turn the
power supply off and using the cable, gently pull the cleaner to the side of the pool. Grab the
handle and remove the cleaner from the pool. ​ D O NOT USE THE CABLE TO REMOVE THE
CLEANER FROM THE POOL​ . ​ T urn the cleaner upside down and remove the bottom cover, take
the bag off the frame and clean it, replace it on the frame and put it back in the cleaner. If
necessary, place the cleaner back in the pool to finish cleaning. Restart the power supply for
another cycle. If the pool is clean, disconnect the cable from the power supply and coil it in
large coils. Store the cleaner upside down to avoid flattening the sponge climbing rings. Store
the cleaner out of direct sunlight and rain, in a protected area. ​ S tore the power supply in a
cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting:

Pool cleaner does not move:​ ​ C heck that the power supply and cable are connected properly.
Turn the power supply off, wait 30 seconds and turn it back on. Unplug the power supply,
remove the impeller cover and inspect to be sure there is nothing trapped in the impeller.
Pool cleaner moves but does not clean pool: ​ C lean the filter bag. Watch it for several minutes
making sure it keeps moving. If it stops, check the impeller and clean it if necessary.
Pool cleaner cleans only part of the pool: ​ C heck that there is enough cable in the pool for the
cleaner to reach all areas. Clean the filter bag. Check the brushes to see they are not
obstructed or worn out. Adjust handle floats if so equipped.
Pool cleaner floats:​ Try removing air again.
Pool cleaner does not climb the walls: ​ C lean the filter bag. Check the pool water chemistry.
Improper water balance may allow the growth of algae which will make the walls slippery. If
so, adjust the water chemistry and brush the pool walls. Check that the cleaner brushes are not
worn out. Proper pH level is 7.2 – 7.8, and chlorine level 4.0 maximum.

The literature states that the cleaning cycle is 3 hours. Ours has never run for more than 2 hours. Is there a way to increase the cycle to 3 hours?

To increase the cleaning cycle of the Maytronics Dolphin DX4 to 3 hours, use the Maytronics Remote Control Unit (RCU). First, press the Manual/Automatic select button. Then, adjust the settings to choose the 3-hour cycle option under the Automatic Mode settings.
