Cleaner moves slowly or not at all
Cleans only perimeter of pool
Cleaner hovers in one area with hose
fully extended
Cleaner turns in clockwise circles
and only covers one section of pool
Oscillator runs too fast
Hose keeps coiling up
Pool not completely clean in four
hours
Cleaner flips on its side when pump
stops
Hose comes loose when pump stops
Cleaner sticks to pool bottom or
pool main drain
1. Backwash and clean filter. Empty all baskets.
2. Clear debris from oscillator or hose.
3. If hoses from skimmer to filter and back to pool are less than
1 1/2" diameter, replace with 1 1/2" hoses.
4. Pump in filtration system may be too small. Consult pool professional.
5. Remove vacuum regulator.
6. If your pool has a main drain (floor drain), close it during cleaner operation.
1. Install vacuum regulator.
2. Set brush ring adjuster to a higher number.
1. Hose is too short. It should be approximately 1,5 - 2 m longer than the full length
of the pool. Buy an 2,4 m extension hose from your dealer to give adequate length.
1. Set brush ring adjuster to a lower number.
1. Install vacuum regulator if it isn't already in place (the regulator marked »50«
will slow it the most).
2. If your system has a return valve, gradually close it until
oscillator runs at the desired speed. ,
1. For best results, when hose is not in use, store it flat and straight. Lay hose out
in the sun (flat and straight) for a few hours. Hose is too long;
remove 2,4 m section.
1. Any cleaner may miss a spot. Spot clean pool by attaching a vac-pole
(telepole) to cleaner and steering it (see Page 5).
2. Try different brush ring adjuster settings (0 - 4) until the cleaner gives the
desired results.
3. The cleaner was not designed to work under all solar covers.
4. Strong winds may interfere with complete cleaner coverage.
1. This is normal if filter system develops a backpressure surge when the pump
stops. The cleaner will right itself when system is restarted.
1. Use reducer cone in skimmer.
1. Install vacuum regulator with diaphragm marked »50«.
2. Check inner brush ring for excessive wear.
