TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
Too much/improper water flow through cleaner
Check water flow with Flow Gauge and adjust per
instructions in Step 6.
Improper tension on rear flap
Turn rear flap adjuster to I
If still climbing too much, reduce water flow until
proper operation is achieved
Steering failure
1) Check and clean rear screen
2) Check to see that cone gear is free and rotates
smoothly in both directions
3) Check medium turbine and spindle gear
assemblies for malfunction
Problem: Cleaner climbs to water surface and sucks air
CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
Head buoyancy
Refer to this manual to ensure enough hose
lengths are installed
Remove all air from cleaner head
Stop all air from entering the pool through the
return lines
If cleaner head and hose are covered with fine
bubbles, give the hose a good tug. This will release
the air bubbles and allow the cleaner head to settle
to the bottom of the pool until the hose is covered
with bubbles again
The cleaner head is actually being pulled or lifted
Readjust return lines to prevent water flow from
off the bottom of the pool by the cleaner hose,
interfering with cleaner head and/or hose
of return line flow - either at the surface or at the
bottom of the pool - or both
Problem: Cleaner head “floats”
