Remove the cleaner from the pool and place it upside down (on a non-abrasive surface so that it won’t become scratched or
scuffed) and unplug it from the Power Supply.
1. Check for and remove any debris such as hair, string, or leaves that may be obstructing the free movement of the Drive Pulley
(Page 16; Figs. 26a-b), Drive Belts or Drive Tracks (Page 15-16).
2. Check that the Drive Belts and Drive Tracks are properly aligned and are taut (Page 16; Figs. 26a-b). Adjust or replace if
necessary .
Then, plug the cleaner into the Power Supply , grab the Handle, lift your cleaner off the ground and turn it on outside the water
while still upside down. Allow the cleaner to run a maximum of 1 minute to check the following:
3. Check that the Drive Pulley (Page 16; Figs. 23a-b) is turning. If it is not, grip one Wheel Tube with both hands and rotate it
forward and reverse to see if the Drive Motor (Page 3; Fig. 1), to which the Drive Pulley is connected, loosens and begins to
operate correctly.
If you have checked all of the options offered and the problem has not been corrected then please contact an Authorized Service
Center. To locate a Service Center, please visitAquaProducts.com/SCL
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
~ IN DEPTH ~
IMPORTANT: Before performing any troubleshooting maintenance procedures on your cleaner, it should be disconnected
from the Power Supply (transformer) and the Power Supply should be unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent the
possibility of personal injury or damage to the cleaner.
1. Turn off the Power Supply, remove the cleaner from the pool, and unplug it from the Power Supply.
2. Clean the Filter Bag thoroughly (Page 12; Figs. 16a-b) so that the fine particles of dirt that get trapped within the fibers of the
Filter Bag are removed. Keep in mind that the Filter Bag is capable of trapping particulates 20 times smaller than what the naked
eye is capable of seeing. To ensure that the Filter Bag is not the issue and is cleaned, remove the Bag from your cleaner and
operate it. If it now operates properly, then the Filter Bag requires a more thorough cleaning to remove the particulates from
the fibers of the Bag.
3. Check the Intake Valve Flaps (Page 10; Figs. 9a-b) on the underside of your cleaner. The Flaps should move freely to open and
close. Clean and free the Valve Flaps if necessary.
4. Adjust Intake Port Width Selector Switch (Page 10; Figs. 9a-b) towards “LESS”.
5. Inspect / Clean Power Washing Jet Tubes (Page 10; Fig. 12).
6. Using a screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the Outlet Top to the body and inspect the Propeller for clogs, hair or other
debris which may keep it from spinning freely (Page 13, PROPELLER CARE). If the Pump is operating properly replace the
Outlet Top (Page 13, PROPELLER CARE). Be careful not to over tighten and “strip” the screws. If it appears to be frozen and
no debris is blocking it movement, or if the Propeller moves freely when spun manually but not when the cleaner is turned on,
or if the propeller is loose and wobbles when spun manually, please contact an Authorized Service Center. To locate a Service
Center, please visitAquaProducts.com/SCL
7. Check the operation of the Pump Motor (Page 3; Fig. 1). While your cleaner is on in the pool, hold your cleaner by its Floating
Handle (Page 3; Fig. 1) so that its Outlet Top (Page 3; Fig. 1) protrudes just slightly out of the water. Look to see that water is
gushing from the Outlet Top.
IMPORTANT: Your cleaner is equipped with a special safety device that allows the cleaner to sense the Floating Cable
being pulled into the Wheel Tubes and will try to immediately reverse its movement to push the Cable back out! If
unsuccessful the cleaner will automatically turn off to protect it from twisting the Cable! Simply turn your Power Supply
OFF correct the Cable and turn your Power Supply ON as normal to continue cleaning.
Check that the Floating Handle is locked diagonally across top of body and diagonal angle is reversed with each use (Page 5-6
FLOATING HANDLE).
FloTaTioN (Page 13, FloTaTioN)
Check the amount of Flotation that has been added to your cleaner. By removing Floats one at a time and checking its operation,
you may be able to reduce the buoyancy to the appropriate level to avoid having your cleaner climb too high as to allow the Floating
Cable to get pulled into the Brushes / Wheel Tubes.
MOVES BUT DOES NOT PICK UP DIRT AND DEBRIS (DOES NOT PUMP WATER)
PUMPS WATER, BUT CLEANER DOES NOT MOVE OR MOVES SLOWLY
FLOATING CABLE GETS WRAPPED AROUND BRUSHES OR PULLED INTO THE CLEANER
