8. INSTALLATION

9. 9 1.Manually vacuum the pool and make sure the skimmer and filter pump baskets are clean. 2.Close the pool main drain line. 3.Direct pool returns line fittings down to the pool floor. Installation: Pool Preparation Installation: Pool Preparation

10. 10 Installation: Assemble the Hose The hose uses easy twist-lock connections. Push and twist the connector on each hose section until they lock into the position with a clicking sound. The hose cuffs have three (3) connection positions. Any of the three (3) positions are sufficient for an air-tight seal. The leader hose has a red tag and the float. This hose will be connected to the cleaner head. Remove the tag and attach the Flow Regulator Valve to the end of this hose. Leader Hose Flow Regulator Valve

11. 11 Installation: Size the Hose Connect enough hose to reach to the farthest point of the pool. Make sure the leader hose is attached to the end where the head will be connected, not the suction line end.

12. 12 Installation: Pool Connection, Skimmer Arrow pointing into pipe 1.Remove the skimmer basket. 2.Connect the valve cuff, FlowKeeper™ valve, and 45° elbow together. 3.Insert into the skimmer pipe with the arrow pointing down. The FlowKeeper valve is pre-set at the factory to optimize the performance of the cleaner, but it is possible to adjust the flow to three(3) settings. The lower the setting number, the lower the flow. To adjust, pull the handle and move setting up (increase flow) or down (decrease flow). If necessary, use the red tab to open the valve and stop the cleaner.

13. 13 * = Safety Vac Lock available Separately 1.Twist lock the male end of the hose into the large end of the 45° elbow. 2.Connect the elbow to a Safety Vac Lock wall fitting*. 3.Angle the elbow upward towards the water surface. Installation: Pool Connection, Dedicated Cleaner Line

14. 14 Installation: Connect the Head 1.Keep hose submerged and make sure it is flooded (no bubbles visible). 2.Submerge the cleaner head and flood with water. 3.When the bubbles stop, connect the hose by pushing the bypass valve quick connector onto the cleaner head. 4.Allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of the pool. 5.Turn on the pool pump.

15. 15 Installation: Operation of Flow Regulator Valve Normal flow Excessive flow The Flow Regulator Valve is not used to adjust the speed to the cleaner, it simply bypasses excess water when the flow through the system exceed the recommended limit. When the flow is correct for the cleaner the yellow area will be all that shows in window of the bypass. When the flow exceeds the upper limit a red line will show at the bottom of the yellow bypass window.

16. 16 The yellow wheel indicator is used to determine if the water flow through the cleaner is at the correct speed. Time how long it takes for 10 revolutions of the wheel. Ideally 10 revolutions should take 20 to 25 seconds. If it takes less than 20 seconds it indicates the flow is to high and should be reduced. If it takes more than 26 seconds, increase the flow to the cleaner. Installation: Check for Proper Wheel Speed

17. DISASSEMBLY

18. 18 Disassembly: Opening the Cover 1- Press yellow button on the front of the cleaner head. 2- Open the top cover.

19. 19 Disassembly: Removing Engine Assembly 1- Unscrew the 6 screws holding the engine housing. 2- Remove the engine housing.

20. 20 Disassembly: Removing Engine Assembly 3- Remove the track from the right side of the cleaner. 4- Remove the black drive shaft coupler from the right side of the cleaner by pulling it straight to the side.

21. 21 Disassembly: Removing Engine Assembly 5- Remove engine assembly. Note: There are four bearings, 2 gears and 2 mating drive shaft couplers as part of the engine assembly. Whenever the engine is removed these should be inspected for wear. 6- Remove drive shaft and bearings from the engine assembly.

22. 22 Disassembly: Removing Engine Assembly 7- There are also four internal engine bearings (not seen). You can check these bearings by making sure the paddles are free to rotate 90 degrees.

23. 23 Disassembly: Removing Direction Control Devices (DCD) 1- Remove the track from the left side of the cleaner by stretching it over the wheel and pulling. 2- Loosen the screw between the wheels.

24. 24 Disassembly: Removing Direction Control Devices (DCD) 3- Remove the Directional Control Device (DCD) and Side Panel. 4- Remove the screw that hold the Side Panel to the DCD.

25. 25 Note: You can spin the DCD gear with your finger to ensure it rotates freely. Disassembly: Removing Direction Control Devices (DCD)

26. 26 Disassembly: Removing Wheels & Bearings 1- Insert a small screw driver through the hole in the body. Press in on the locking tab to release the pin and wheel. 2- Remove the wheel and pin.

27. 27 Disassembly: Removing Wheels & Bearings 3- The wheel bearings can now be inspected for damage or wear.

28. 28 2- With the arrows aligned insert a Phillips head screw driver into the hole opposite the alignment arrows, loosen the screw. Note: This screw is captured so it will not fall out. 1- Flip the cleaner upside down and align the arrow on the scrubber plate with the arrow on the cleaner body. Disassembly: Removing the Scrubber Note: If you rotate the scrubber, do so in the direction of the curved arrow on the silver body to ensure the engine turns in the correct direction.

29. 29 Note: To remove sand from the bearings you can put the scrubber assembly under water and rotate it back and forth. 3- Pull the scrubber assembly out Disassembly: Removing the Scrubber

30. Assembly

31. 31 Assembly: Scrubber 1- Turn the cleaner over and insert a screw driver through the scrubber hole to the screw. 2- While holding the screw with the screw driver, insert the scrubber into the body, align arrow on body with arrow on the scrubber and tighten screw to hold scrubber in place.

32. 32 Assembly: Wheels & Bearings 2- Press the pin with the wheel in until the tab locks into place. 1- Align the slot in the pin with the key of the axle. Slot Key

33. 33 Assembly: Direction Control Devices (DCD) 1- Press DCD into Side Panel The components of the DCD and Side Panel are shown to the right. DCD Side Panel Self tapping screw

34. 34 Assembly: Direction Control Devices 2- Make certain the outside screw is through the DCD. 3- Insert the self tapping screw through the DCD and into the Side Panel, tighten screw to hold in place. Note: Align the screw carefully to prevent cross threading.

41. Operation

42. 42 Operation: Testing Assembly Test operation of the assembly by turning the cleaner over and rotating the scrubber in the direction of the molded arrow (clockwise). Tracks should turn smoothly and there should be no grinding noise from the gears or bearings.

43. Troubleshooting

44. 44 Troubleshooting Problem Solution Cleaner does not move or moves slowly Confirm that the main drain is closed Backwash/clean the filter and empty all baskets Check for any debris jammed in cleaner engineer Check for adequate flow to the cleaner. Adjust valves to correct flow if necessary. Check for air in the system. If water level in pump drops or you see excessive air bubbles in the pump basket or coming from return lines, there is air in the system. Check hose connections, tighten all fittings at pump and check o-ring at pump basket for wear. Cleaner patterns, does not cover entire pool. Check for adequate flow to the cleaner. Adjust valves to change flow if necessary. Ensure return fittings are directed down. Add a return diverter if necessary. Make sure hose is not kinked or coiled. lay in sun to straighten if necessary. Verify correct hose float positioning. Hose float should be on the hose closest to the cleaner approximately 9 inches from the cleaner. Observe cleaner for more than five (50 minutes and ensure that the cleaner periodically changes direction. If it does not, remove the DCD and check for damage. Confirm proper hose length.

45. 45 Cleaner gets stuck at steps Observe cleaner for more than five (5) minutes and ensure that the cleaner periodically changes direction. if it is not, check the DCD for damage. Ensure the swivel on top of the cleaner rotates freely. Check for adequate flow to the cleaner. Adjust valves to change flow if necessary. Check proper hose length. Shorten hose if necessary. Check for adequate flow to the cleaner. Adjust valves to change flow if necessary. Verify correct hose float positioning. Hose float should be on the hose closest to the cleaner approximately 9 inches from the cleaner. Cleaner won’t climb walls Cleaner riding on its side. Troubleshooting Problem Solution
