4.6. Storage and wintering
• Before storing the cleaner for the winter, empty all the water out (damage due to ice is not covered by the guarantee).
• Clean the whole device and the hoses in clean water and leave to dry.
• Store in a dry place protected against frost.
•
Remove all the connectors and adaptors from the suction line or skimmer.
•
Dismantle the hose sections. Make sure the hoses are not blocked and store them flat.
When the cleaner is in storage, even for a short period, avoid rolling up the hoses, as they may permanently
adopt a shape that would reduce the cleaner's performance.
Never store the cleaner in direct sunlight.
5. Troubleshooting
Problems
Solutions
The cleaner does not move
or is very slow.
•
Make sure your pool's bottom plug hole is closed.
•
Clean and empty the skimmer baskets and the pump pre-filter.
•
Ensure there is no debris obstructing or blocking the operation of the motor (see sec
-
tion 4.4).
•
Remove the yellow adaptor from the vacuum inlet beneath the cleaner (see section
3.3).
•
Check the flow rate (see section 3.2).
•
Make sure there is no air in the system. If the water level in the pump pre-filter falls, or
if you see large quantities of air bubbles coming from the discharge nozzles, there is air
in the system. Check the hose connections and the filtration pipework.
• Check that the pool lining is not covered with algae, which makes the surface slippery
and affects the cleaner's traction. If it is, carry out shock chlorination and slightly re
-
duce the pH.
The cleaner does not cover
the whole pool.
•
Check the flow rate (see section 3.2).
•
Make sure the discharge nozzles are pointing downwards.
•
Check that the hose is not folded over or rolled up. Lay it out flat to dry if necessary.
•
Check that the hose is long enough. If not, add further hose sections.
•
Check that the hose float is correctly positioned.
•
Watch the cleaner for more than five minutes and check that each track changes direc
-
tion regularly.
The cleaner gets stuck on
the steps.
•
Make sure the rotating seal on the top of the cleaner turns freely.
•
Test the flow rate by checking the rotation speed of the wheels (see section 3.2).
•
Check that the hose is not too long. If it is, shorten it by removing sections.
The cleaner does not climb
the pool sides.
•
Check the flow rate, increasing it if necessary by activating the lever on the Flowkeeper
valve (see section 3.2).
•
Check that the hose float is correctly positioned.
The cleaner goes beyond
the water line.
•
Reduce the flow rate (see section 3.2).
•
Check that the hose float is correctly positioned.
The cleaner is on its side.
•
Check that the hose float is correctly positioned.
