Maintenance
1- Clean the cartridge of the filter after use, every time the cleaner is used:
Lay AquaVac on its side. Undo the fastenings of the bottom cover (6) (Figures 1c-1d) and remove the
bottom cover assembly (7) (Figure 1e)
Remove the filter cartridge. If your filter is in 3 parts (ref. RCX70100), remove each element and clean it
thoroughly using a hosepipe with a spray head so to remove all of the waste. Hold the elements as shown in
Figure 1f to enable the waste to fall off.
Wash the inside of the bottom cover.
Put the filter cartridge back (Figure 1g)
Fit the bottom cover and re-engage the fastenings.
2- Clean the moving parts frequently.
CAUTION: unplug the power supply box before performing this cleaning operation.
Inspect the orifice of the pump to check that no waste or hair is obstructing the Venturi tube. It can be
cleaned by removing the tube (9) and by turning it (Figure 1h). Clean off all of the waste that has built up
between the tracks (10) and the wheels (11).
Regularly inspect the cleaner and cable; do not use if damaged or if any rough edges are visible on the
cleaner; this can cause damage to the pool.
Storage:
When it is out of the water, lay AquaVac on its side in a dry and shady place at a temperature between 5°C
and 46°C (Figure 1i)
Maintenance for the cable:
After a while and with use, the cable can become twisted (like a telephone cord). To remedy this, wedge
the handle in the opposite diagonal position (Figure 1b). AquaVac will then turn in the pool in the opposite
direction and the cable will untwist itself. It is also possible to pull regularly on the cord in the sun in order
to solve the problem.
Above all, remember to reverse the position of the handle after use, every time the cleaner is used.
IMPORTANT: check the cable regularly to make sure that it has no external damage.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replace by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly quali-
fied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
SOLUTIONS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Aquavac WILL NOT CLIMB THE WALLS
Clean the filter. It might be clogged or too heavy due to waste or to too much algaecide being present.
The brushes might be worn. Examine them and change them if necessary.
Check the electrical installation and make sure that the voltage is correct: 230 V  50/60Hz
The water temperature should be greater than 15°C, otherwise the PVC brushes might stiffen and affect
AquaVac's capacity to climb the walls.
Replace the PVC brushes with foam brushes. Ensure that the handle is in the diagonal position.
Aquavac HAS LOST SUCTION
Clean the filter. It might be clogged and be preventing suction.
Check that the feeds in the bottom cover are not blocked, and clean them if necessary. Check the Venturi
tube for any waste or damage. Clean or replace if necessary.
An intake that clips onto the bottom cover is available from your dealer. This makes it possible to achieve a
higher speed and thus improved suction of small or heavy waste.
Aquavac STOPS SUDDENLY WHILE IT IS CLEANING
The Venturi tube might be clogged with waste. Check and clean if necessary, by following the instructions in
the chapter on maintenance.
The bearings of the brushes or the tracks are stuck. Check whether there is any dirt; clean them if necessary.
Put the AquaVac back in the water and switch it back on. In order to protect the fragile components,
AquaVac will cut out automatically if it is removed from the water.
Aquavac IS NOT WORKING ANY MORE
Check the socket for the voltage surge switch system to ensure that the power supply is correct.
Check the power of the power supply box per section (see below).
Check the floating cable per section
