Aboveground Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
Problem Corrective Action
Cleaner moves slowly or not at all.
• Backwash and clean lter. Empty all baskets.
• Clear debris from oscillator or hose.
• If hoses from pool to lter and pump are less
than 1-1/2” diameter, replace with 1-1/2” diameter hoses.
• Pump may be too small. Consult pool professional.
• If your pool has a main drain (oor drain), close it during
cleaner operation.
Cleans only perimeter of pool.
• Make sure vacuum regulator is installed.
• Set brush ring adjuster to a higher number. See pg. 3.
Cleaner hovers in one area with hose fully extended.
• Hose is too short. The hose should reach furthest point in pool plus
one section.
Cleaner turns in clockwise circles only and only covers
one section of pool.
• The cleaner is designed to move in a clockwise direction.
• Set brush ring adjuster to a lower number. See pg. 3.
Oscillator/cleaner runs too fast.
• Make sure vacuum regulator is installed. (the regulator marked “50”
will reduce cleaner speed).
• If your system has a return valve, gradually close it until oscillator runs
at the desired speed.
Hose keeps coiling up.
Pool not completely clean in four hours.
• Any cleaner may miss spots. Spot clean pool by attaching a vac-pole
(telepole) to cleaner and steering it (see Page 5).
• Try different brush ring adjuster settings (0-4) until the cleaner gives
the desired results.
• The cleaner was not designed to work under all solar covers.
• Strong winds may interfere with complete cleaner coverage due to
hose movement.
Cleaner flips on its side when pump stops.
• This is normal if lter system develops a backpressure surge when the
pump stops. The cleaner will right itself when system is restarted.
Hose comes loose when pump stops.
• Use reducer cone in skimmer.
• Ensure all connections are tight.
Cleaner sticks to pool bottom or pool main drain.
• Install diaphragm marked “50” in vacuum regulator.
• Check inner brush ring for excessive wear.
• For best results, when hose is not in use, store it at and straight
and out of sun.
• Hose is too long; remove sections as needed. See pg. 3 - step #6.
