QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS SETTING UP YOUR NEW ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER IS AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3! TIP! To help protect your Floating Cable from potentially getting wrapped around your cleaner’s brushes, it is suggested to turn off your pool’s filtration system while your cleaner is in operation. Lock Floating Handle diagonally across cleaner body.
SETTING UP YOUR ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER 1. FLOATING HANDLE The Floating Handle (Page 3; Fig. 1.1) is a flotation device that helps your cleaner climb, is a handle to hold and carry your cleaner, and with some models acts as a guidance mechanism, directing it to move left or right while the cleaner scrubs the waterline. For proper operation of your pool cleaner, the Handle must be locked diagonally* across the top of the cleaner’s body.
WARNING: The Power Supply must be placed at least 12 feet / 4 meters from the pool’s edge at all times! WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) / Residual Current Device (R.C.D.) must be installed to protect your electric outlet and to prevent any possible electrical shock! 2. SETTING UP THE POWER SUPPLY The Power Supply (Page 4; Fig. 4a-d) should be placed in a sheltered area, at least twelve (12) feet / four (4) meters away from the pool at all times. (Fig 7a).
KNOWING / USING MODEL FEATURES SETTING THE POWER SUPPLY TIMER (INTERNAL AND / OR EXTERNAL) If your cleaner has an adjustable Dial or Digital timer, you can set it for Continuous Run or Internal Timed Operation. All Power Supplies (Page 4; Fig. 4a-d) may be connected to an external, separately purchased timer, such as a house-type timer or pool control system. In this External Timed Operation mode you cleaner can externally be set to automatically turn ON / OFF / ON / OFF as needed.
External Timed Operation All Power Supplies, including without Adjustable Timers, Dial Timer and Digital Timer models, may be connected to an external separately purchased timer, such as a house-type timer or pool control system. In this External Timed Operation mode your cleaner can externally be set to automatically turn ON and OFF repeadly per the external timer schedule set.
Debris Intake Port Width Selector (Page 4; Fig. 3b, 12) Figure 10a Debris may vary due to geography, landscape or season. Therefore, your cleaner has been equipped with the ability to adjust the opening size of its Debris Intake Ports to accommodate larger or smaller debris. For smaller dirt like pine needles, sand and pollen slide the Intake Port Width Selector (Fig. 10a), located on the inside of the Bottom Lid Assembly, in the direction of the arrow indicating “LESS”.
Cleaning Patterns / Directional Guidance Mechanisms TWO POSITION DIAGONAL LOCKING FLOATING HANDLE + FULL LENGTH WHEEL TUBES The Floating Handle (Page 3; Fig. 1) acts as a flotation device that guides your cleaner to move laterally (left or right), depending on the diagonal angle it is locked in, when it is scrubbing the waterline. This allows your cleaner to climb the walls, move laterally and reverse down the wall so that it is repositioned elsewhere in the pool on the floor.
CLEANING PATTERNS Depending on your cleaner type, you will notice a different cleaning pattern produced. Please reference the illustrations according to your cleaner. Models with Two Position Diagonal Locking Floating Handle + Full Length Wheel Tubes C Your cleaner runs this pattern in SETS of side to side “half laps”. Each set consists of 7 “half” laps.
Models with Handle Float + Split Wheel Tube with Directional Guidance Clutch Pattern Description: A. Cleaner searches for the wall, climbs it for a couple of seconds and then reverses down the wall. * B. Upon reversing from the wall, the Wheel Tube Clutch slightly turns your cleaner to move on an angle and travels away from the wall moving along the floor for a number of seconds. Cleaner stops and reverses, engaging the Clutch, turning your cleaner on an angle and moves towards the wall again. C.
MAINTAINING YOUR POOL CLEANER CLEANING AND CHANGING THE FILTER BAG (CLEAN THE BAG! CLEAN THE BAG! ...) Thoroughly cleaning the Filter Bag after every use is the most important maintenance step you can take to ensure optimum performance of your cleaner. The Filter Bag’s (Page 4; Fig. 3a) holding capacity is large in comparison to all other brands of independent pool cleaners, but far smaller than that of a pool’s main filter.
Flotation Figure 16a Your cleaner is a universal pool cleaner which performs under varying chemical and temperature conditions in your pool. Your cleaner offers the best possible performance when it is virtually weightless in your pool. Therefore, careful balancing of its weight is important for proper operation. Generally, a new cleaner is universally balanced when used for the first time and additional Flotation (Fig. 16 a-c) is not required on start-up.
PROPELLER CARE Figure 18a It is a good practice to inspect the Propeller (Page 3; Fig. 1) once or twice per season to check for obstructions, which may reduce water flow and thus vacuuming ability and pool coverage. IMPORTANT: To protect against personal injury and damage to your cleaner always unplug your cleaner from its Power Supply prior to performing any maintenance or repair procedures! 1. First unplug the cleaner from the Power Supply (Fig. 18a). 2.
To protect against personal injury and damage to your cleaner always unplug your cleaner from its Power Supply prior to performing any maintenance or repair procedures! To Change Molded Rubber Brushes for full length Wheel Tubes (Fig. 19a, 19b): 1. Carefully cut the Tabs with scissors facing away from you and your hands clear from the cutting direction (Fig. 19b). Figure 19a 2. Wrap the new Brush around the Wheel Tube (Fig. 19a). 3.
CHANGING DRIVE TRACKS Figure 22a Drive Tracks (Fig. 22a) may become worn over the normal course of use and will require replacement based on the frequency of use, the pool’s chemical balance, pool surface and length of season. Worn (stretched, loose or “flatspotted”) Drive Tracks will impede your cleaner’s ability to climb stairs and obstacles and may effect the cleaning pattern impeding its ability to cover the entire pool.
Figure 25 NOTE: Before removing the screws, notice how the Drive Belts, Drive Pulley, Stepped Sleeve Rollers, Small Rollers and Bushings are positioned for re-assembly (Fig. 26a, 26b) 4 Screws on Drive Motor side 5. Remove old Drive Belts and replace them with new Drive Belts, being careful to properly position the replacements: One Belt from the Drive Pulley to the Front Wheel Tube and one from the Drive Pulley to the Rear Wheel Tube.
CLEANER STORAGE When not in use it is important that your cleaner, its Floating Cable and Power Supply are properly stored in a clean and dry area, away from direct sunlight, protected from below freezing temperatures and exposure to chemicals and their fumes (i.e. chlorine). This will help prevent any unnecessary wear or damage to your cleaner or its components. Prior to storing your cleaner, thoroughly clean your Filter Bag and dry off your cleaner.
The cleaner’s Floating Cable should be coiled and encircled around the Power Supply located at the base of the shipping box (Fig. 28). A protective barrier (preferably thick cardboard) should be placed on top of the Floating Cable and Power Supply (Fig. 29). Figure 28 Figure 29 Your cleaner’s Floating Handle should be locked in a horizontal position, not diagonal and laid parallel along the face of the cleaner (Fig. 30a).
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE ~ SUMMARY ~ The most common troubleshooting issues are presented in this summary. Should you wish a more detailed description of a procedure or have other troubleshooting issues please refer to the complete Troubleshooting Guide on pages 10-14 or visit www.AquaProducts.com for the most up-to-date troubleshooting information.
6. Does not pump water or move, or power supply (Page 4; Fig. 4a-d) does not turn on A. Check to see if electrical outlet has power. B. Check the Fuse in the Power Supply (Page 4; Fig 4a-d). If necessary, replace with the same type / amperage Fuse. If unsure as to Fuse type, please contact Aqua Products’ Customer Service Department online at AquaProducts.com/Service.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE ~ IN DEPTH ~ IMPORTANT: Before performing any troubleshooting maintenance procedures on your cleaner, it should be disconnected from the Power Supply (transformer) and the Power Supply should be unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent the possibility of personal injury or damage to the cleaner.
Flotation (see Page 15 FLOTATION) Check the amount of Flotation that has been added to your cleaner. By removing Floats one at a time and checking its operation, you may be able to reduce the buoyancy to the appropriate level to avoid having your cleaner climb too high as to allow the Floating Cable to get pulled into the Brushes / Wheel Tubes. Air Careful removal of air trapped in the housing is critical to ensure natural balancing of your cleaner.
DOES NOT PUMP WATER OR MOVE, OR POWER SUPPLY DOES NOT TURN ON It is unlikely that both Motors (Drive Motor and Pump Motor) are experiencing mechanical problems. In most cases the issue lies with something that is hindering the flow of electricity from the electrical outlet to the Power Supply (Page 4; Fig. 4) or through the Floating Cable (Page 3; Fig. 2) to the cleaner itself.
this moving pattern again and then on the third time when it reverses from the wall it will turn 90º and move to repeat the same sequence of movements along the length of the pool. Then it will repeat the steps from side wall to side wall and so forth for the most complete and thorough coverage (see Pages 13).
Any additional swiping would continue the cycle in the order noted above. 6. Shake the Floating Handle (Page 3; Fig. 1). Listen for the presence of water within it. The Handle should be lightweight and airtight without water in it. If water is present, please visit Aqua Products’ Customer Service Department online at AquaProducts.com/Service to locate your local Authorized Service Center. 7. Check that the Pump Motor (Page 3; Fig. 1) is operating.
If these objects can not be removed then place the cleaner in each of the ‘separate’ areas of the pool, allowing each a separate complete cleaning cycle, starting your cleaner at the farthest points of the pool at the beginning of each cleaning cycle. Main Drains Contact an Authorized Dealer location to purchase a main drain guard, which will prevent your cleaner from becoming stuck on the Main Drain. Certain models come equipped with the patented NeverStuck™ Rollers (Page 10; Fig.
If you have previously added any (combination) of the Flotation (Page 4; Fig. 3) provided into your cleaner, to assist its buoyancy, it is suggested that you remove the devices one-by-one until proper buoyancy is restored and the noise has lessened. Squeaking The cleaner is built from plastic, rubber and stainless steel components which may squeak as the cleaner operates. Apply non-water soluble grease or oil to component contact points [i.e. where the Wheel Tube meets the Side Plate (Page 3, Fig.
