PROBLEM 

The robot

 

moves

 

in

 

one direction. 

The

 

robot does

 

not

 

move

 

and

 

the filtration pump 

does not work either. The robot doesn't work any 

longer. 

The pump runs but the robot does not 

move. Th

e

robot turns on but stays 

in one

 

spot. 

Robot does not climb walls. 

The robot goes round in  circles.

CAUSE(S) 

-An object blocks the rollers, the wheels of the robot 

or interfering with the movement of the robot. 

- The robot is not connected to a 

power source. 

- Power 

is 

off. 

- No/not enough power is transmitted to the robot. 

- An object bloc

k

s the rollers, the belts, the wheels 

of therobot or the path. 

- Possibility of motor problem.

-The robot is too heavy. 

-The flow is not enough. 

-The walls are too slippery. 

-The handle of the robot is 

correct

ly directed. 

-pH level is too high.  Keep the pH  level close to 

7.2 to avoid slippery walls 

-A belt is damaged. 

-

O

ne of the 4 side wheels is damaged or

 

unscrewed.

SOLUTION(S) 

-

impeller located above the motor. 

-

 

Check that there 

is

 no foreign object blocking the 

hydraulic circuit or the brushes an

d

  belts under 

therobot and  sides. 

- Check that the power source is active

 

by

 

plugging 

another device into the power outlet. 

- Check that the power supply is turned on. 

- Check all connections of the robot to the power 

source. 

- Unplug the power and

 

take out the robot in the 

water. Open the cover of the basket and remove the 

basket. 

- Check that there are no foreign objects in the 

impeller located above the motor. 

- Check that there 

is

 no foreign object blocking the 

hydraulic circuit or the brushes an

d

belts under the 

robot and sides. 

- Contact the After-sales Service 

- Check that the collection of debris basket isn't full 

- Check and clean if need

ed

 the impeller of the pump

or the gri

ll

at the top of the impeller (propeller ontop 

of the robot toward the handle) 

- Presence of algae or fatty deposits

 on the walls

Remove algae using the chemical treatment of water 

and  manual

ly

 

b

rush to remove these fatty deposits. 

- Check that the handle of the robot is directed to the 

rear. The cable should  be  above the handle. 

- Check the condition of the drive belts. 

If necessary, replace 

any

 faul

t

y belt. 

- Check the wheels bolted to the ends of the rollers. 

These wheels fit on

to

  the ro

ller

 and then screw

ed 

on

(See Chapter 4)

PROBLEM 

The robot stops after a few minutes. 

The robot moves slower than before. 

No 

LED

  lit on the transformer. 

The blue LED on  the "No-Twist" floating device 

does not light up ( light C of Chapter 9). 

The blue light on  the transformer is on

 

but the red 

or orange do

 

not li

ght

 

up

 

(timer light B of Chapter 9). 

The blue light on the No-Twist Floating device is on

 but the cleaner does not work ( light C of Chapter 9 ). 

The robot leaves traces on the floor or on  the walls. 

CAUSE(S) 

- Connection of the floating cable. 

Check that there are no foreign objects in the 

-

 

Possibility of fault of the floating cable. 

- Possibility of motor leakage. 

- The robot is too hea

vy

- The 

water 

flow is not sufficient. 

- Cables connections

 loose/disconnected

- The current is not reaching the transformer. 

- Bad connection between the transformer and 

the No-Twist floating device. 

- Possibility of No-Twist floating device problem 

- You did  not press the on/off button located 

above the transformer. 

- Cleaner not activated 

- Bad cable connections. 

-

Possibility of 

ransformer problems 

- Bad connection between the No-Twist floating 

device and the cleaner 

- Possibility of No-Twist floating device problem 

- Possibility of motor problem.

- State of the brushes and/or transmission belts. 

SOLUTION(S) 

- Check the connection

s

 of the floating cable. 

Disconnect and  reconnect as neede

d

- Check the status of the connectors at the ends of 

your cables (damaged, rusted, etc.) 

- Check that the dirt collecting basket is not

 

full. 

- Check and clean if necessary the pump impeller or 

the gri

ll

above the impeller (propeller at the top of 

t

h

e robot towards the handle

)

-Check all the cable connections (see chapter 5). 

-Check your electrical outlet. 

-Check the 

cable 

connections.

C

ontact our Customer Service. 

-Turn ON the cleaner by pressing the ON/ OFF

button located on

 

top of the transformer. 

-Check all the connections of the cables between 

the transformer and the No-Twist floating device. 

-Contact the After-sales Service 

-Turn ON the cleaner by pressing the ON/ OFF

button located on top of the transformer. 

-Check your electrical outlet. 

-Do not use extension cord 

-Contact our Customer Service. 

-Check if the connection at the

 

"No-twist" float 

outlet, blue outlet "Pool Cleaner"

,

is correct and 

waterproof. 

-If the blue light C is on, you should also have a red 

light on

 

at the float outlet (light E in Chapter 8). 

If 

this is not the case, it is likely that the float is 

defective. 

-If both blue and red lights are on

 

but the robot does 

not work, please contact your dealer or our after-
