Corrective Action
Backwash and clean filter. Empty all baskets.
Clear debris from oscillator or hose.
If hoses from pool to filter and pump are less than 38cm (1-1/2") diameter,
replace with 38cm (1-1/2") diameter hoses.
Pump may be too small. Consult pool professional.
If your pool has a main drain (floor drain), close it during cleaner operation.
Make sure vacuum regulator is installed.
Set brush ring adjuster to a higher number.
Hose is too short. The hose should reach furthest point in pool plus one
section.
The cleaner is designed to move in a clockwise direction.
Set brush ring adjuster to a lower number.
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.
For best results, when hose is not in use, store it flat and straight out of
sun.
Hose is too long, remove sections as needed.
Any cleaner may miss spots. Spot clean pool by attaching a vac-pole
(telepole) to cleaner and steering it.
Try different brush ring adjuster settings (0-4) until the cleaner gives the
desired results.
The cleaner was not designed to work under solar covers.
Strong winds may interfere with complete cleaner coverage due to hose
movement.
This is normal if filter system develops a backpressure surge when the
pump stops. The cleaner will right itself when system is restarted.
Use reducer cone in skimmer.
Ensure all connections are tight.
Install diaphragm marked "50" in vacuum regulator.
Check inner brush ring for excessive wear.
