Drive power and Auto-turn
Adjustments can be necessary depending on the pools bottom
surface. The factory settings is adjusted for tiles, which counts
as slippery surface. If the pool is made of concrete it counts
as a rough surface. Even liner, stainless steel and aluminum
can be counted as rough surfaces, but the roughness can be
different between pools with the same type of bottom surface.
Algae can make all surfaces slippery.
To have a low wear, it is important that the drive power is not
higher than necessary.
The effects from obstacles in the pool, such as valves sticking
up or slopes, should not be mistaken for a rough surface, even
if they can cause similar symptoms as too low drive power.
The program selector should be set to P1 to avoid confusing
symptoms when adjusting.
Symptoms of too high drive power:
1.
The Piraya stands for more than 1 second against the wall
instead of alternating left/right drive to align itself.
2.
The Piraya does not go back to the pickup position.
3.
The drive wheels gets worn/slippery quickly in tile pools.
Action:
Reduce the drive power by turning the dial counter-
clockwise in small steps until the Piraya does not manage to
auto-turn. Then turn it up a millimeter clockwise. See page 8.
Symptoms of too low drive power:
1.
The Piraya does not manage to auto-turn or starts to auto-turn
when manuevering with the remote control.
If this symptom occurs after a period of use in a particular
pool, the first measure is to follow the steps on page 5, No. 4.
Action:
Increase the drive power by turning the dial clockwise
in small steps until the Piraya manages to auto-turn (Normal
setting for tile surfaces is: 7 – 9. For concrete surfaces: 9 – 10).
See page 8.
Auto-turn setting:
The Piraya should do a perfect half turn (180°).
Reduce or increase the auto-turn by adjusting
the dial counterclockwise or clockwise.
See page 8.
Problem with linerpool:
The Piraya can shut off/get stuck
if the liner gets sucked up
against the Piraya.
Action:
Turn the brush holder
upside down, so the skirt is turned
upwards instead of downward.
