Care and Maintenance
The AX20 Activ cleaner cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning the pool
surface randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool’s
shape and available water flow. If AX20 Activ cleaner is not climbing your walls, ensure the flow is correct
by checking wheel speed. Also, ensure the pool’s surface is not covered in algae as this slippery surface
will affect the cleaner’s traction.
During each coverage pattern cycle, the AX20 Activ cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and
pivots to the right and left. The power scrubbers underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing
and stability as well as directing debris into the cleaner’s mouth.
Removing the Cleaner Out of Your Pool
Always turn the filter pump off and disconnect the head of the cleaner from the leader hose section when
you take the cleaner out of the pool.
Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the AX20 Activ from the skimmer box before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.
After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes to flush out the
suction lines before re-connecting the cleaner.
Adding Chemicals to the Pool
Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least four (4) hours when adding chemicals.
Removing Debris from Engine
1. Turn off filter pump and remove cleaner from the pool.
2. Push the latch release button on the top of the cleaner.
3. Rotate the top lid assembly
back until it is in an upward
position.
4. Look into engine and remove
debris that is present.
5. If needed, slowly push
engine paddles forward and/
or backwards to move stuck
debris to an accessible position
then remove it. When moving
the engine paddles, make sure
the cleaner tracks are allowed
to move freely as they will turn
as the engine paddles rotate.
6. Close engine top and ensure
the latch clicks in place.
