Slower motion or inefficient vacuuming
• Check to see if the Filter Bag is thoroughly clean. FYI: The Fine Filter Bag is capable of ltering particles 20 times smaller than
the naked eye can see. Therefore, thorough cleaning of the bag may be required! NOTE: Use the Fine Filter Bag to trap smaller
debris such as algae, bacteria, sand and silt. Use the Mesh Filter Bag to trap larger debris such as leaves, acorns, twigs and pine
needles. It may be necessary to rinse with high pressure water and wring the Filter Bag in a bucket of clean water. Rinse, wring,
squeeze dry and repeat until the rinse water is clear.
• Check to see if the Intake Valve Flaps Fig. 9 on the bottom of the cleaner are free to open and close. These Flaps should move
easily to allow the entry of water and debris.
• If you are not satised yet, remove the bag, reinstall the Bottom Lid (without the Bag), and run it in the pool. If the cleaner
moves quickly, this is an indication that your Bag is not clean enough, and you must repeat the cleaning instructions until the
Bag is clean.
Water flow from the hydroscrub jet tubes (Fig 2.6) have no pressure or water coming out from them
• Check clear vinyl tubing for obstructions, or blockages. Remove the Bottom Lid Assembly. Then remove the tubing from the
pump housing by gently pulling the tubing from the pump. The tube is not glued in place. After the tube is removed, you can
clear blockage by running water through the tube using the pressure from a garden hose. Be sure to replace the tubing securely.
Does not cover the entire pool
• Adjust the timing cycle on the Power Supply so that the cleaner reaches the other side of the pool (preferably to waterline) and
remains there for approximately 2 seconds before changing direction.
• Check to see if the Filter Bag is clean and not clogged with debris. (Especially ne dirt)
• Check to see if the wheel rotation and axle movement is free of obstructions like hair, string or accumulated debris.
• Check to see if the Floating Cable has adequate length to reach all sides of the pool and is not tangled, or hooked, as this will
limit the movement of the cleaner.
Does not reverse direction
• Take a garden hose with high pressure, spray into the Valve Housing at each Valve Port opening. Fig. 2.9 This should free the
Jet Valve System of any debris. If this does not solve the problem, there is most likely debris wrapped around the Propeller be-
neath the Jet Valve or between the Valve Flap and the Valve Housing wall, proceed below to “Cleaning The Propeller”.
Cleaning The Propeller
• Remove valve outlet (2 horizontal screws). Fig. 2.8
• Bend a common “giant” paper clip into a hook as shown in Fig. 16 and push the center ap of the Valve Housing with your
finger to open it and look into the Propeller. You may find debris like hair, string, or a small twig caught in the Propeller. Use your
paper clip to hook or free the debris, and remove it as shown in. Fig. 18
Reverses before reaching the opposite end of the pool
• Turn the Time Control Dial (located on the Power Supply) clockwise a few degrees to increase the time between reversals.
Repeat if necessary.
• Check to see if the Filter Bag is thoroughly clean and installed properly.
Waits too long at the side of the pool before reversing
Turn the Time Control Dial on the Power Supply counter-clockwise a few degrees. Repeat if necessary.
Floating cable is twisting
• Your new pool cleaner was designed to clean most pools without issue, but some pool shapes may cause the Floating Cable to
coil, or tangle. This cleaner operates in a systematic cleaning pattern that varies in nature. This may cause the Floating Cable to
twist. For this reason we have added a new feature to your cleaner. This patented feature will allow you to untwist your Cable
easily. Disconnect the Power Supply Cord from the Power Supply, place your cleaner on the ground outside of the pool perpen-
dicular to you. Fig. 17 At the end of the Power Cable, located near the connection plug to the Power Supply, is a plastic handle.
Fig. 15 Grab the handle firmly as shown in the illustration below. Walk away from the cleaner while pulling the handle. This will
cause the Cable to rotate within the plastic handle and force the Cable to untwist itself. For best results remember to pull the
handle until the Cable is
completely untwisted.
