The Virginia Graeme Baker Act (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act requires the installation and use of anti-entrapment
drain covers and other systems in an effort to reduce deaths and injuries in swimming pools.
These new drain covers may make it difficult or block the Cleaners ability to move over or pass by them. A feature has
been added in the programing of your cleaner that will assist the Cleaner to become unstuck should it get
caught on the drain cover.
Aqua Products has also included an extra set of higher durometer EZ Brushes with your new Cleaner. These
brushes will also assist the Cleaner to limit the contact with the new VGB covers without reducing the
performance of the Cleaner.
Before performing any troubleshooting maintenance procedures on your cleaner, it should be disconnected
from the Power Supply (transformer) and the Power Supply should be unplugged from the electrical outlet to
prevent the possibility of personal injury or damage to the cleaner
.
Pumps Water, But Cleaner Moves Slowly or Does Not Move at All
Place cleaner upside down (on a non-abrasive surface so that it won't become scratched or scuffed) and unplug it from the
Power Supply.
Check for any debris such as hair, string, or leaves that may be obstructing the free movement of the Drive Pulley, Drive
Rollers, or Drive Tracks.
Check that the Drive Rollers and Drive Pulley are properly aligned and are taut, adjust or replace if necessary. Then, plug the
cleaner into the Power Supply and turn it on outside the water (while still upside down), allowing it to run a maximum of 1
minute to check the following:
Check that the Drive Pulley is turning. If it is not, grip one Wheel Tube with both hands and rotate it forward and reverse to see
if the Drive Motor is connected to the Drive Pulley. If you have checked all of the suggestions and the problem still exists then
please contact Customer Service.
Does Not Clean Entire Pool (Misses Areas) or Does Not Climb Walls
Your cleaner is designed to clean the pool many times over within its recommended cleaning cycle (up to 3 hours) by cleaning
one section at a time in a systematic pattern. If large portions of the pool are missed when the cleaning cycle is complete.
then please check the following:
Be sure that the Power Supply is located in the center of one of the long sides of the pool. This will allow optimum use of the
cleaner's Floating Cable's length. Make sure that the Floating Cable is untangled and spread out on the surface of the water.
Clean the Filter Bag thoroughly so that the fine particles of dirt that get trapped within the fibers of the Filter Bag are removed.
To test if the Filter Bag is inhibiting the cleaner's performance, simply remove the Filter Bag and operate the cleaner without it.
If the cleaner then pumps water strongly, and climbs the walls properly, the Bag most likely requires a thorough cleaning
You may need to add Floatation. Your cleaner needs to properly climb the walls and to move left or right scrubbing the
waterline in order to properly clean the entire pool.
