CHANGING DRIVE TRACKS
Drive Tracks (Fig. 21) may become worn over the normal course
of use and will require replacement based on the frequency of use,
the pool’s chemical balance, pool surface and length of season.
Worn (stretched, loose or “flat-spotted”) Drive Tracks may effect the
cleaning pattern impeding its ability to cover the entire pool. If during
your periodic inspection you find that your Drive Tracks are worn,
please contact your Authorized Dealer for replacement Drive Tracks.
1. Unplug your cleaner from its Power Supply and remove your
cleaner from the pool.
2. Place your cleaner on its side, on a soft surface which will not
scratch the Body’s finish.
3. With your thumbs pushing against the Side Plate (Fig. 22), hook
your fingers under the Drive Track and pull it toward the Side
Plate. When you get the Drive Track over the “lip” of the Side
Plate, hold it there with one hand, and with the other hand, grip
the Wheel Tube (Fig. 22) and rotate it away from the cleaner
until the Drive Track “walks” over the Side Plate. Continue this
until the Drive Track is free.
4. To mount the new Track, hook it around the lower Wheel Tube
end and pull it upward as you guide it between the cleaner’s
Body and Side Plate.
5. Push inward on the Drive Track and force it over the edge of
the Side Plate. Rotate the Wheel Tube, towards you, until the
Drive Track properly seats itself on the Wheel Tube between
the Side Plate and the cleaner’s body
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 with the Drive Track on the other
side of the cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Always replace both Tracks at the same
time! Replacing only one will adversely effect the
cleaner’s cleaning pattern!
CHANGING DRIVE BELTS
Drive Belts (Figs. 26a-b) may become worn over the normal course
of use and will require replacement based on the frequency of use,
the pool’s chemical balance and length of season. Worn Drive
Belts will impede your cleaner’s ability to move or climb and may
effect the cleaning pattern impeding its ability to cover the entire
pool. If during your periodic inspection you find that your Drive
Belts are stretched, loose or “flat-spotted please contact your
Authorized Dealer for replacement Drive Belts.
1. Remove Drive Tracks (See CHANGING DRIVE TRACKS).
2. Place the cleaner on a non-abrasive surface and turn cleaner
upside down. Remove Bottom Lid Assembly (Fig. 23).
3. Remove the Wheel Tube Retaining Rings (Fig. 24).
4. Locate and remove 4 screws (see Fig. 25) on Drive Motor side,
which holds Side Plate in place.
NOTE: Before removing the screws, notice how the Drive Belts, Drive
Pulley, Stepped Sleeve Rollers, Small Rollers and Bushings are
positioned for re-assembly (Figs. 26 a-b)
