Operation
Before You Use The TracVac™
Understanding how the TracVac™ works will help ensure the proper operation and maintenance
of your cleaner.
•
Before every use, visually inspect the TracVac™ and always check that the turbine moves
freely and is not obstructed by debris. Water flowing through the turbine drives the tracks
and moves the cleaner. If the TracVac™ moves slowly or stalls, the turbine may be partially
or fully blocked with debris. Refer to "Removing Debris from the Turbine" on the following
page.
•
Check that the pool's system is configured in a manner to maximize flow through the
cleaner. Ensure that pool filter is clean, allowing for maximum flow. Make sure that supply
and return valves are positioned properly and that the pump is running at the proper speed.
•
The TracVac™'s cleaning performance is optimized when operating at a flow rate that has
been set with the Flow Gauge (Step 5 on previous page). This flow rate will ensure that
the TracVac™ moves at the proper speed (see Cleaner Speed). Note that the TracVac™
draws debris from the pool floor and moves it to the pool filter where it's trapped and later
cleaned out through backwashing or cartridge cleaning. If the pool has a high debris load,
you may notice a slow down in cleaner speed which is most commonly caused by the filter
getting dirty. In these cases, you may have to clean your filter before the pool is entirely
clean. Refer to your filter's pressure gauge and speed of the cleaner to determine when it's
time for a filter cleaning.
Cleaner Speed
If the Flow Gauge is not available or you want to quickly check for proper operation, you can mea-
sure the TracVac™'s speed as an indication for proper water flow. To do this, raise the TracVac™
off of the pool floor and hold it by the handle just beneath the pool water surface. Be sure to keep
the cleaner under the surface so that it does not draw in any air. Stay clear of moving parts. Now
count the number of full rotations made by the large RIGHT
wheel over a period of 30 seconds (the left wheel speed varies
Count RPMs
for steering and can't be used). The number of rotations mul-
tiplied by 2 will give you the revolutions per minute; or RPM's.
The TracVac™'s normal speed range is:
Min Flow: 26.5 RPM
Max Flow: 32 RPM
If the RPM is below 26.5, adjust the Flow Regulator Valve (ro-
tate knob clockwise) and check cleaner speed again.
If the RPM is higher than 32, adjust the Flow Regulator Valve
(rotate knob counterclockwise) and check cleaner speed again.
If adjustments are ineffective, refer to TroubleShooting section
of this manual.

Removing Debris from the Turbine
To clean debris out from the TracVac™, perform the
following:
1. Turn off the filter pump and remove the TracVac™
from the pool.
2. A clog could be visable by looking into the turbine
from where the leader hose connects. If no clog is
seen, position the cleaner with the buckle facing you
and attempt to rotate the left side track forward. If
the wheels rotate smoothly there probably is no
obstruction. If the track feels "locked", there is most
likely a blockage.
3. To clear an obstruction, place the TracVac™ on a flat
work surface. Refer to image A. Open the buckle on
the front of the cleaner by pressing it and lifting the
lid. Lift the front of the lid up and then firmly pull it
forward. This will separate the lid from the cleaner
body and you will now be able to lift the lid straight
up from the cleaner chassis.
4. Pull the turbine cover straight up and off of the
cleaner chassis. Refer to image B. Inspect the
turbine cover for debris or obstructions.
5. With the turbine cover off, you have full access to
the turbine. You should be able to see and remove
any visible obstructions from the turbine.
6. Install the turbine cover back onto the chassis by
reversing Step 4.
7. Visually inspect the rest of the cleaner and remove
any debris that may be in the gears, drive shafts,
swivel assembly, etc.
8. Repeat step 2 (turning the left track) to insure that
the cleaner runs smoothly.
9. Place the lid over the swivel assembly.
10. Align the tabs on the back side of the top cover with the slots on the back side of the
chassis, push down to engage the tabs. Firmly push the top cover backwards to fully
engage the tabs.
11. Lock the top cover onto the cleaner chassis with the locking buckle on the front of the
cleaner.
