Charging Mode 
The green “Charge” light will flash whenever the battery is below the Full 
Charge level and when there is sufficient solar power available to charge 
the battery.  This can occur whether the Power switch is in the “ON” or 
“OFF” position.  If the unit is placed in the sun with the Power switch in 
the “OFF” position, it will take 5 minutes before the CHARGE light begins 
to flash.  If the switch is in the “ON” position, the CHARGE light will flash 
as long as the battery is not fully charged and there is solar energy 
available. 
   

ii.

 

Not Charging Mode 
The CHARGE light will only flash when sufficient solar power is available 
to charge the battery.  If it is not flashing, then the solar panels are not 
collecting sufficient energy to allow charging to take place.  If the unit is 
in full sunlight and the CHARGE light is not flashing, it could be because 
the battery if fully charged, in which case the CHARGE light should burn a 
steady green.  If the unit is not fully charged, leave the Solar-Breeze in the 
sun for 5 minutes  and check again.  If it is still not flashing, refer to 
“Charge Light Not Flashing” in the trouble-shooting section of this guide. 
 

iii.

 

Full Charge Mode 
When the green CHARGE light burns a steady green, this indicates that 
the battery if fully charged and cannot accept additional current from the 
solar panels.  At this point, the charging process will stop until the battery 
has been drawn down to a level where it can accept additional current.

Headlights and Taillights 

The Solar-Breeze is equipped with blue LED headlights and taillights that flash at night.  
These are provided for safety so that the unit is always visible in the pool.  These lights 
will flash whether the unit is operating or in Stand By mode.

Cleaning the Debris Collection Area 

The clear window provided on the top of the Solar-Breeze makes it possible to see when 
the debris collection area is becoming full.  When this occurs, simply turn the switch to 
the “OFF” position and lift the Solar-Breeze from the pool using the front handle.  
Remove the debris tray by sliding it out the front of the unit, and empty the tray and 
collection area into a trash receptacle.  We recommend that you also remove the white 
plastic screen and wash off the filter mesh when you empty the tray.  You may also
