Machine hangs up or hesitates on pool drain:
• Order accessory RCX1730 (raised drain intake assy.) from Service Center
Machine fails to come out of deep end:
• Raise sensor bar to allow machine to climb up incline.
Machine turns away from curved wall too soon:
• Raise sensor bar to allow machine to clean higher on curved portion, but still turn
away before tipping over.
Machine tips over before tripping or sensing wall:
• Lower sensor bar until it trips. However, a slight adjustment might have to be made
by clipping one or two coils off the spring RCX2207L (Fig. 3, Key 34) that is located
directly behind sensor bar slide RCX1707 (Fig. 3, Key 33). This will allow optional
weights to overcome the lesser spring tension and operate reversing mechanism.
Machine turns in circles and twists cord:
• Sensor bar too high, hitting hood.
• Thread on reversing arm RCX1703 (Fig. 3, Key 50) is worn or stripped, not allowing
reversing mechanism to disengage.
• Sensor bar cable screws are loose.
• Drive wheel broken.
• Drive belt broken.
• Because of various pool designs, especially those with a gradual slope up the
sides, the unit has a tendency to attempt to make the climb. To prevent the
machine from turning over, a sensor bar weight is attached to both sides. These
optional weights are automatically activated when the machine has reached a
maximum point of ascension, reversing the unit—causing it to reverse or turn.
Remember the basic rule:
• Sensor Bar must always be level to avoid cord twisting!
• Is the unit being run in the pool for too great a length of time? One hour in opera-
tion in a 5 x 10 meters pool should be sufficient with not more than a few twists in the
cord set, which should be straightened out after each vacuuming.
Machine does not pick up:
• Filter may be clogged and does not permit the flow of water through the filter cartridge.
• Large object lodged in the intake or in the impeller housing. See "motor information".
Machine does not move:
• Not connected to live outlet.
• Object lodged in impeller.
