11. Lock the top cover onto the cleaner chassis with the locking buckle on the front of the cleaner. Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: Always disconnect cleaner before servicing. Problem Solution • • • Cleaner is not moving or is moving too slowly. • • • Check flow with Flow Gauge and if necessary, adjust the Flow Regulator Valve. Check for debris inside the cleaner itself. Check that pump is running at desired speed and is fully primed. If pump has lost prime, disconnect and wait for prime. Check if the pool filter needs cleaning or backwashing. Check to be sure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed, except for the vacuum or suction line to which the cleaner is attached. Check for leaks or obstructions in the system (e.g. debris in the filter, pump basket or pump impeller). Cleaner's left track will not turn when rotated by hand. • Check for obstructions inside the cleaner (see page 8). Cleaner stays in one end of the pool. • Hose may be limiting movement. Adjust the hose and remove any loops or coils. • Check that hose is long enough (see page 5-6). • Check flow with Flow Gauge and if necessary, adjust the Flow Regu- lator Valve (see page 6). • Check the direction of the return line water flow. If it is interfering with the path of the cleaner, redirect to a different direction. • Check the Leader Hose for float placement. The float may be in the wrong position. • Be sure that the swivel assembly (at top of cleaner) rotates smoothly. If not, clean the area as described on page 8. Cleaner climbs the wall too much or climbs out of pool. • Check flow with Flow Gauge. You may need to decrease the flow using the Flow Regulator Valve. Cleaner won't climb the pool walls. • Check to be sure that the cleaner tracks are not excessively worn. Excessively worn tracks will not provide the grip necessary for your cleaner to climb pool walls. • Check flow with Flow Gauge. You may need to increase the flow using the Flow Regulator Valve - do not exceed the maximum Flow Gauge setting. • Check the Leader Hose for float placement. The float may be in the wrong position. Cleaner stays on the main • drain. • Check to be sure that main drain is closed. May need assistance from a pool professional. Check to be sure a main drain grate is installed. 9 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

IMPORTANT:
Always disconnect cleaner before servicing.
Problem
Solution
Cleaner is not moving or is
moving too slowly.
•
Check flow with Flow Gauge and if necessary, adjust the Flow Regu-
lator Valve.
•
Check for debris inside the cleaner itself.
•
Check that pump is running at desired speed and is fully primed. If
pump has lost prime, disconnect and wait for prime.
•
Check if the pool filter needs cleaning or backwashing.
•
Check to be sure that the main drain and all suction lines are
closed, except for the vacuum or suction line to which the cleaner
is attached.
•
Check for leaks or obstructions in the system (e.g. debris in the
filter, pump basket or pump impeller).
Cleaner’s left track will not
turn when rotated by hand.
