from the power source.
This is the appropriate length of the cable
so that the robot can reach all of your pool.
Limit the length of cable in the pool to the
bare minimum, and place the surplus
outside the pool.
06 Climbing Walls
In order to be efficient while
cleaning the waterline, the
robot is designed to climb up
the waterline with the
orientation that offers the most
effective brushing.
It is therefore normal to see it
climb to the waterline only by
the side with the handle.

If the basket is not properly aligned, it is
not possible to close the cover of the
cleaner.
7.6 Press down the handles to lock your basket.
08 Cleaning the impeller
Some debris can clog or be
wrapped around the
impeller of the pump. By
force, these debris can
hinder the proper
functioning of the robot or
even damage the engine.
Regular visual inspection is
part of the normal
maintenance of the robot.
8.1. Use a flat screwdriver to remove the protective grill.
Page 10
7.7 (Optional) Fine filtration for silt or algae. There are 2 options: 7.7.2 Fine mesh debris basket
Replace the standard regular mesh basket with
fine mesh basket (optional) . Fine mesh basket
can catch silt or algae.
7.7.1 Use a fine filtration kit (item#7117)
A "TRY ME" pad is included. Place the fine filtration
pad inside the standard regular mesh basket.
It will catch fine debris.
(Item# 7119)
Fine filtration can catch silt or algae but could clog the filter
easier. Regular cleaning is required in order to keep the pool
cleaner robot running properly

09 Indicator lights / LED
INDICATOR MEANING / DIAGNOSIS
LIGHT/LED
A
When the power supply is plugged into wall outlet and
toggle switch is pressed towards "ON", this blue light must
remain on to indicate that the power supply is operating
normally. Otherwise check if the wall outlet has power or
replace the transformer.
B
C
It is a timer indicator. This red or orange light will light up
during the cleaning cycles (orange for 1 hour cycle - red for
3 hour cycle).
CThis blue light turns on when the floating cord between
the transformer and the No-Twist float with swivel union is
properly connected and you have turned on the robot. It
indicates that the current is reaching the float. If the light
does not come on, check the connections.
DThis green light only lights up when the robot pump is
running. This green light does not light up when the pool
robot has completed its cleaning cycle or during certain
phases of the device's operation (e. g. after climbing walls,
when pump stops and the robot sinks).
E
E
When the "No-Twist" float with rotating swivel is connected
to the transformer and you have started the robot, this small
red light indicates that the current is coming out of the
float. You must have both this red light and the blue light (C)
on the float. If you have the blue light on the float but not
the red light, then it is likely that you will need to replace
the float.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
The robot floats on the surface.
The robot does not clean all areas of the pool.
The robot does not recover debris during operation.
Fine particles (dust or dirt, pollen ... ) are ejected by
the impeller.
CAUSE(S)
-Immersion of the robot in the pool.
-Use of the fine filter.
-Water level in the pool.
-Not enough/ too much cable floating in the pool.
-The robot does not receive enough power.
-Basket clogged/ full.
-
-
An object is
stuck in the impeller or the grid
located above the impeller.
Debris are too fine, the robot is made to pick up the
particles more than 50 microns (with the fine filter
inside the basket).
SOLUTION(S)
- When you put the robot in the pool, let it sink and
reach the floor before you turn it on.
-
-
If you use an optional fine filter, remove the filter
from its plastic wrap, immerse the filter in the water
so that it is already wet before you put it in the robot
and let the robot settle on the floor before you turn
it on.
If your pool water level is too high, the robot might
turn around and take in the air if it touches the fop
seats, in this case to adjust the level of the pool.
-Make sure the length of floating cable introduced in
the pool is just the required length.
-Remove any excess cable length from the pool and
leave this excess length outsidethe pool next to the
power supply box.
-Insert the robot at the center point of the pool.
If your pool is oval or rectangular, this point is the
middle of the length.
-Check the connection of the cables.
-Clean the basket and filter panels. Clean the fine
filter if you use this accessory.
-Check if the basket is properly inserted. (See
chapter Cleaning of the filter basket).
-
-
Check that there are no foreign objects in the
impeller or blocked in the grid above the impeller
Check the attachment of the basket, press itif
necessary to lock it.
-Use a fine filter (check item number on the parts
drawing 29, sku 7117) on the
other hand do not forget that it is the filtration of
your swimming pool which ensures the cleaning
of the particles of less than 50 microns.
