PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CALLING YOUR SERVICE CENTER

Before troubleshooting, the pool cleaner must be disconnected from the power supply and the power supply must be unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent damage to the 

unit and possible personal injury. 

1.  Unit does not pump water or move:

a)  Check to see if electric outlet has power. 

b)  Check if transformer is plugged into a grounded outlet and the cable assembly 

is plugged into the transformer.*

c)  Switch the power supply  “OFF” and “ON” a few  times.  Allow 45 seconds 

between “ON” and “OFF”.  

d)  Check for and remove any debris such as hair, string, or leaves that may be 

obstructing the free movement of the wheels.

2.  Unit does not pump water at all, or pumps slowly but moves:

a)  Check to see if propeller is seized due to accumulation of hair or debris on the 

propellers. Remove the top screw on the outlet top and clean the propeller. 

When reassembling the top cover, do not overtighten the screw. 

b)  Check to see if the filter bags are thoroughly clean. Clean as necessary.

c)  If a and b are negative, check the pump motor.  If they are not functioning send 

the unit to your service center. 

3.  Unit does not move but does pump water:

a)  Check to see if forward/reverse motion is obstructed by foreign matter; hair, 

debris, etc. on wheels or there is an entanglement with the power cord.

b)  Check the motor. If  is not functioning, send the unit to your service center. 

4.  Unit does not pick up dirt and debris:

a)  Check 2a and 2b of this guide.

b)  Check the Filter Intake Valve Flaps on the underside of your unit  (see image 

bellow). The Flaps should move freely to open and close. Clean and free the 

Valve Flaps if necessary.

5.  Unit does not seem to cover the entire pool:

a)  Most likely a thorough cleaning of the filter is needed.

b)  Check to see that the floating cable is properly spread out and is untangled.

c)   Allow the unit to run in the pool for the entire cleaning cycle.

e)   Check that the Motor is operating. Please refer to the section 2 of this guide

f)    After following all of the above, if there is still a problem, call your dealer for 

specific additional assistance.

6.  Debris Comes Out Of The Unit When Removing It From Pool 

(Top Access Lid Does Not Close Properly)

a)   Filter lock lever - Check that the Lock release mechanism is not damaged. 

The lid edges should be aligned with the unit's body and the top filter is 

properly locked. 

b)   Intake Valves  - Check that the Filter Intake Valve Flaps (see image bellow) 

move freely to open and close. Clean flaps if necessary.

IMPORTANT: 

Please be sure to always keep your pool cleaner properly stored anywhere between 10 

to 40 degrees Celsius (50 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). This will keep the motors, plastics 

and seals protected. Failure to comply will result in loss of warranty.

Robot can be used in water with temperatures ranging from 13°C to 35°C (55°F   to 

95°F). However, the recommended optimal temperature is between 22°C and 32°C 

(72°F and 90°F)

Important Tips

Troubleshooting Guide

Filter Intake Valve Flaps

Shut off and unplug the power supply every time you remove the cleaner from the water.

Clean the filter bag after every cycle.

Periodically straighten out the floating cable.

Save your cleaner's packaging for off-season storage or for shipping the unit to your 

dealer if service is required. 

Do not leave your cleaner in direct sunlight when not in use.

Never leave the power supply in direct sunlight and avoid leaving it in the 

rain.

Occasionally,  you  should  rinse  your  cleaner  in  clean,  fresh  water.  This  will 

lengthen the service life of your cleaner.
