If the cleaner appears to be stuck or “hung up” at the wall, ladder, or other obstruction, or anywhere else in the pool, and does not return to
normal operation within a minute or so, turn the filter system OFF. Remove the cleaner from your pool. Check for blockages or any other
obvious problems. Check the Bumper Ring for free rotation. Check filter system for water flow and re-install the cleaner. If the cleaner is
getting stuck, contact your Hayward dealer.
Under no conditions should the cleaner remain in the pool connected to the filter system if
the problem of getting stuck or “hung up” is not corrected.
