Turbine Suction Cleaner TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem: Cleaner climbs to water surface and sucks air. CAUSES SOLUTIONS Too much/improper water flow through cleaner Check water flow with Flow Gauge and adjust per instructions in Step 6 Improper tension on rear flap Turn rear flap adjuster to position 1 If still climbing too much, reduce water flow until proper operation is achieved Steering failure 1) Check and clean rear screen 2) Check to see that cone gear is free and rotates smoothly in both directions 3) Check medium turbine and spindle gear assemblies for malfunction Problem: Cleaner head "floats" CAUSES SOLUTIONS Cleaner head is HEAVIER than WATER, and should not "float" Remove all air from cleaner head Stop all air from entering the pool through the return lines If cleaner head and hose are covered with fine bubbles, give the hose a good tug. This will release the air bubbles and allow the cleaner head to settle to the bottom of the pool until the hose is covered with bubbles again The cleaner head is actually being pulled or lifted off the bottom of the pool by the cleaner hose, or return line flow - either at the surface or at the bottom of the pool - or both Readjust return outlets to prevent water flow interfering with cleaner head and/or hose 16
