Troubleshooting - GRE ACROBAT Instruction Manual

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any problems with your Acrobat machine please refer to the following options.
5.1 Acrobat machine does not move or moves slowly
• Ensure that there is no debris stuck in the Diaphragm.
• Ensure that your pool has been backwashed and rinsed recently.
• Ensure that your skimmer and pump baskets are not full of debris.
• Ensure there are no leaks in the hoses.
• Ensure that there are no suction leaks between your pump and skimmer. Suction leaks are characterized by poor
suction, bubbles returning via the Aimflow. If you have any of these symptons contact a pool maintenance professional.
5.2 Acrobat machine runs then stops
• Refer to points under "Does not move or moves slowly".
• Outer extension pipe may be worn out.
• Filter sand may need to be changed or cleaned. To check this put the filter on "Bypass" if it works now there is a filter
problem.
• Pump suction may be too strong and cause unit to stick to the floor. To rectify this adjust the flow through the Acrobat
by adjusting the control valve so the gate opens more easily to bypass water. Normal setting between 2 and 4.
5.3 Acrobat machine does not sink
• Ensure there is no trapped air in the hoses or unit.
• The float is filled with water.
• The Acrobat has no weight in unit.
5.4 Acrobat falls on its side
• The float is filled with water.
• The Outer extension pipe is jammed and won´t swivel.
5.5 Acrobat gets stuck in a certain spot
• Adjust the hose length by adding or removing a hose.
• Ensure that the Aimflow is not interfering with the flow of the Acrobat. If so adjust Aimflow nozzle to direct the flow
away from the unit.
• If the problem persists, attach an Easy Out on the first hose and an Aimflow Diverter ball in the Aimflow nozzle.
5.6 Acrobat does not climb the wall
• Ensure the skimmer basket is free of any debris.
• Adjust the Control valve to a higher setting.
• Sand may need to be changed or backwashed.
5.7 Acrobat climbs out of the pool
• Ensure the Control valve is free of debris and not jammed shut.
• Set Control valve to a lower setting to divert more water.
5.8 Acrobat is moving in a set pattern
• Ensure hoses are in a good flexible condition and not coiled.
