TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the following troubleshooting information to resolve possible problems with your Kruiser™
Inground Suction Pool Cleaner.
Problem Corrective Action
Cleaner is sluggish or has stopped
operating.
Check Cleaner for blockage inside the Flapper chamber.
Refer to Maintenance on page 9.
Clean your filter system, empty pump basket and empty skimmer
basket.
Inspect the Regulator Valve and flush away any debris buildup.
Check the hose for blockage.
Check the hose for leeks by lifting each section above water and
listen for the leak.
Using your Flow Gauge, verify proper water flow to your Cleaner.
Refer to
page 7.
Cleaner gets stuck on the steps.
Adjust the Eyeball Diverter of the return flow towards the problem
area to guide the Cleaner away from the steps. Refer to
page 8.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to
page 3.
Purchase the optional 12” or 16” Deflector Wheel.
Using your Flow Gauge, Increase or decrease the flow to your
cleaner within the maximum/minimum range.
Cleaner travels in repetitive pattern.
Adjust Eyeball Diverters as described on page 8.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to
page 3.
Place one Hose Weight 2” to 4” from the Cleaner head.
Check the Kreepy Kruiser’s hose to ensure it has not become bent
or kinked. It only takes one bent or kinked hose section to hinder
the cleaning coverage. One way to check for kinks in the hose is to
lay each section flat on your pool’s deck, (or other flat surface). The
hose should be perfectly straight and flat. Do Not coil the hose
when taking your cleaner out of the pool because it will retain
the coil shape, forming a bend or kink.
Cleaner does not transit onto the wall.
Using your Flow Gauge, verify proper water flow to your Cleaner.
Refer to page 7.
Cleaner stays in one side of the pool.
Adjust Eyeball Diverters as described on page 8.
Verify proper hose length and correct position of the Hose Weights.
Refer to page 3.
Remove or add one hose section.
