4.1. Cleaning the pump pre-filter
To keep your cleaner operating efficiently, the pump pre-filter needs to be emptied regularly.
We recommend using the Cyclonic™ Leaf Catcher (supplied with the MX™ 8 PRO) to collect large debris before it enters the skim-
mers and the pump pre-filter.
Always remove the cleaner from the sides of the pool before cleaning or purging the pool filtration system.
After cleaning, run the filtration system for at least five minutes to clear the pipes before returning the
cleaner to the pool.
4.2. Emptying the leaf trap (Cyclonic™ Leaf Catcher - MX™ 8 PRO)
• Stop the pump.
•
Hold the leaf trap under the water and grasp its handle. Using the handle, turn the transparent tank until it comes away
from the lid (1).
•
Leave the lid and pipes under the water and lift the transparent tank out of the water (2).
•
Hold the yellow handle and remove the filter (3).
• Remove the debris and rinse out the transparent tank (4).
•
To reinstall the tank, immerse it in the pool, with its filter and the lid (5).
•
Position the tank to fit the notches in the lid and turn it firmly to fasten it to the lid (6).

4.3. Removing debris from the motor
To avoid serious injury, ensure the vacuum pump is not operating and the cleaner is disconnected from the
hose before carrying out this operation.
•
Press the yellow button on the top of the cleaner and lift the cover.
• Remove any debris from the motor.
• If necessary, gently push the motor blades backwards and forwards to free any
debris lodged inside and remove it. As you move the motor blades, make sure
the cleaner's tracks can turn freely and are synchronised with the movement of
the blades beneath the cleaner.
•
At the same time, remove any debris stuck in the brush or the vacuum inlet.
• Close the cleaner's cover and make sure it is securely locked.
4.4. Replacing the tracks

2
• Lay the cleaner on one side.
•
Starting with one of the wheels, pull the inside of the track to
take it off the wheel (1). Then take the track off the cleaner.
•
To fit the new track, position the inside of the track on the groo
-
ves of the small wheel and one of the large wheels.
• Stretch the track around the last wheel (2). Press on the track to
position it correctly on the wheel grooves. Make sure that the
track passes under the guide.
4.5. Cleaning your cleaner
• The cleaner must be cleaned regularly using clean or slightly soapy water. Do not use solvents such as trichloroethylene
or equivalent.
• Rinse the cleaner in plenty of clean water.
• Do not leave your cleaner to dry in direct sunlight.
