Problem Corrective Action
Does not reverse direction. Take a garden hose with high pressure, spray into the Valve
Housing at each Valve Port opening, (
Figure 2, Item 9 ). This
should free the Jet Valve System of any debris. If this does not
solve the problem, firmly grab hold of both of your cleaner’s
Handles (
Figure 2, Item 5 ) and forcefully dunk the cleaner in and
out of the pool several times to flush out the dirt causing the
problem. If debris is still lodged (such as sand or dirt) or there is
debris wrapped around the Propeller the Jet Valve or between the
Valve Flap and the Valve Housing wall, proceed below to
“Cleaning the Propeller”. If this still does not solve the problem,
then use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen each of the screws
at the top of the Valve Housing (
Figure 2, Item 7 ) that keep each
side of the Housing together - by 1½ turns each (counterclockwise).
Then repeat high pressure spraying into the Valve Housing.
Retighten each screw 1½ turns (clockwise) to re-secure.
Cleaning the Propeller. Remove Valve Extension Screws ( Figure 2, Item 8 ) on one side of
cleaner and respective Valve Extension Port ( Figure 2, Item 9 ).
Bend a common large paper clip into the shape of a hook
(Figure 18 on page 15) , and push the Valve Flap back with your
finger to expose the Pump Motor Propeller. You may find debris like
hair, string, or a small twig caught in the Propeller. Use your paper
clip to hook or free the debris, and remove it (
Figure 20 on page 15 ).

Floating Cable is twisting. Your new cleaner was designed to clean most pools without issue,
but some pool shapes may cause the Floating Cable to coil, or
tangle. This cleaner operates in a systematic cleaning pattern that
varies in nature. This may cause the Floating Cable to twist. For
this reason, we have added a new feature to your cleaner. This
patented feature will allow you to untwist your Cable easily.
Disconnect the Power Supply Cord from the Power Supply, place
your cleaner on the ground outside of the pool perpendicular to
you, (
Figure 19 on page 15 ). At the end of the Power Cable,
located near the connection plug to the Power Supply, is a plastic
handle ”Swivel” (
Figure 17 on page 15 ). Grab the handle
firmly as shown in the illustration. Walk away from the cleaner
while pulling the handle. This will cause the Cable to rotate within
the plastic handle and force the Cable to untwist itself. For best
results remember to pull the handle until the Cable is completely
untwisted.
