OPERATION
General
Forward and reverse buttons control the drive motor direction.
Remote control operation is the same operation as the buttons on
the control housing. Control button and remote button will only
operate the motor while the button is being pressed. Ensure the AC
charger pack is not exposed to water or weather. Plug in AC charger
into the AC Charger connection to recharge battery.
To free wheel the roller tube, disengage the motor drive by lifting the
locking pin – lift up to free wheel (rocking the tube back or forward
may be required to take the weight off the pin to disengage).
For best operation, the pool cover should be cut to water line or less.
Ensure the cover has no folds or any obstruction to catch on when
rolling up.

Adjust the solar panel
position by placing the shadow
indicator in the centre of the
solar panel, at midday adjust
the position of the solar panel
so there is minimal shade from

ickering red = charging from AC (the more it’s charging
the longer the red is, very slow red flick means nearly fully

BATTERY LED
Green = battery fully charged
Orange= intermediate (mostly charged)
Red = needs recharge. (less than 25% charge in battery)
Best indication of the battery condition is just after an operation
(pressing a button)
Battery condition light only illuminates when:
1.
PV (solar panel) available or
2.
AC available or
3.
During and immediately after operation (for approximately
60 seconds after operation ceases)
Note:
if
there is marginal PV
available
(e.g.
cloud
coverage)
then
the battery indicator light may come up orange even though
battery is fully charged
Note:
when motor is operating, the battery LED will show red
as it’s loading the battery and drawing the power.
