b.
Getting stuck under a rock outcropping or other obstruction
Occasionally, pools may also have rock outcroppings or other obstructions where
the nose of the Solar-Breeze will get caught underneath. As described above,
this can sometimes cause the unit to get stuck and be unable to move. Once
again, adjusting the water level up or down 1” will normally address this
problem.
c.
Unit does not back up far enough when in reverse navigation mode
Occasionally you may observe that the unit does back up far enough to get away
from an obstruction when it goes into a reverse navigation. Possible causes and
solutions for this behavior are outlined below:
1.
The unit has become water-logged with water getting trapped in areas
where it cannot escape. (See Section 11, Maintaining Buoyancy)
2.
There are 3 chlorine tablets in the chlorine tray, causing the unit to have
too much weight and blocking the flow of water through the chlorine tray
while the unit is in reverse navigation mode. To solve this problem,
remove at least one tablet from the tray.
d.
Unit pushes debris ahead of it instead of drawing debris into the collection tray
This situation may arise if the front of the apparatus is riding too low in the
water. This could result from one of the following situations:
1.
The unit has become water-logged with water getting trapped in the front of
the unit where it cannot escape. (See Section 11, Maintaining Buoyancy).
2.
There is no chlorine in the chlorine tray. Since the unit is engineered to
operate with chlorine in the tray, running without chlorine may cause the
front end to run slightly lower in the water than is optimal. If this is the case,
try adding one or two chlorine tablets to the tray, or an equivalent weight of
approximately 6 ounces. This should cause the front end to raise up slightly
and prevent debris from being pushed ahead of the apparatus.
