• Before you contact your reseller, please carry out these few simple checks using the following
tables if a problem occurs.
• If the problem connues contact your reseller.
5.1 I Device behaviour
The cleaner is
immobile or very
slow.
• Close the main drain line.
• Clean and empty the skimmer and ltraon pump baskets.
• Inspect the motor area and remove any visible debris. (see “4.3 I Removing debris from the
motor”)
• Remove the sucon adaptor under the cleaner (see “3.5 I Choice of sucon mode: small or
large debris (according to model)”).
• Check the ow (see “3.4 I Adjusng the water ow”).
• Turn on the ltraon pump to verify there is no air in the system. If the ltraon pump basket
is lled with air bubbles and, or the water level is low this indicates there is air present in the
circulaon system. If air is in the system it will be seen as water ows out the pool return
lines. Air can be drawn into the circulaon system through components on the sucon side
of the ltraon pump. This includes holes or cracks in the cleaners hose secons.
• Verify the pool surface is not covered with algae as this slippery surface will not allow the
cleaner to gain tracon and climb. If it is, carry out shock chlorinaon and slightly reduce
the pH.
The cleaner does
not cover the enre
pool.
• Check the ow (see “3.4 I Adjusng the water ow”).
• Aim the return line ngs in the pool downward if adjustable.
• Check the hose secons for coils. If a memory has formed turn o the cleaner and remove
the aected hose secons. Lie the pipe secons having formed loops at in the sun unl
these secons recover their normal shape. Re-install the hose secons on the cleaner.
• Check the hose assembly is long enough (see “2.2 I Hose secon assembly”). If it is not, add
hose secons.
• Check the posion of the hose oat on the leader hose secon (see “2.2 I Hose secon
assembly”).
• Monitor the cleaner for more than ve minutes and check that each track changes direcon
regularly.
The cleaner is
stopped on the
steps.
• Check the top cover swivel turns freely.
• Test the ow by checking the wheel rotaon speed (see “3.4.1 Checking the wheel rotaon
speed”).
• Check that the pipe is not too long (see “2.2 I Hose secon assembly”). If it is, shorten the
hose length by removing secons.
The cleaner does
not climb the pool
walls.
• Check the ow (see “3.4.1 Checking the wheel rotaon speed”) and increase it if necessary
(see “3.4.2 Adjusng the water ow”).
• Check that the hose oat is posioned correctly on the leader hose (see “2.2 I Hose secon
assembly”).
• Check that the pool walls are free of algae and not slippery.
The cleaner climbs
above the water
line.
• Reduce the ow (see “3.4.2 Adjusng the water ow”).
• Check that the hose oat is posioned correctly on the leader hose (see “2.2 I Hose secon
assembly”).
The cleaner lays on
its side.
• Check that the hose oat is posioned correctly on the leader hose (see “2.2 I Hose secon
assembly”).
