IV. TROUBLESHOOTING AND PERFORMANCE TIPS

To insure the best performance from your cleaner, follow the troubleshooting guide listed below.

A. PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

Problem: Legend® Platinum doesn't move or moves sluggishly or hangs up on steps.

Solution: 1. Be sure filter pump and booster pump are on and working properly. (You may need to clean your pool filter system).

2.Check the Wall Fitting screen for debris and rinse clean.

3.Check wheel RPM (See page 8).

4.Determine if the Back-Up Valve is cycling. (Hold the valve out of the water and the jet should come on for approx. 30 seconds and shut off for approx. 3 minutes and 30 seconds.)

5.Check all the Hose connections and Swivels for leaks that can cause loss of water pressure.

6.Check debris that may be jammed in the gear teeth on one of the front drive wheels. Gently rotate the front wheels backward to dislodge debris.

Problem: Legend® Platinum falling over or lying on it's side.

Solution: 1. This usually indicates the bag needs to be emptied.

2.Check to see if the ballast float (EA20-White or LLA20G-Gray) is leaking by checking if there is water inside. Unscrew by pull back while turning counter-clockwise. When it comes off, shake it and listen for water in float.

Problem: Legend® Platinum will not back up.

Solution: 1. Determine if the Back-Up Valve is cycling. (Hold the valve out of the water and the jet should come on for approx. 30 seconds, and shut off for approx. 3 minutes and 30 seconds).

2.Check the wheel RPM (See page 8).

3.Empty the debris bag if full or half full.

Problem: Legend® Platinum will not climb.

Solution: 1. Even if your pool doesn't show algae you still need to brush the sides of the pool wall.

2.Check the wheel RPM (See page 8).

3.Reposition the Thrust Jet. Loosen the four screws to adjust the Thrust Jet.

A reminder: The climbing ability of the Legend® Platinum is dependent on the pool's shape and available water pressure. It will climb better in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

Problem: Hoses tangling.

Solution: 1. Check the length of the Feed Hose, they may be to long. (See pages 3-6).

2.Check to see that the Feed Hose is floating on top of surface. Check hose floats for even spacing.

3.Twist the Hose Swivels to see if they spin freely and replace any that will not.

4.Lay out the Feed Hose straight in the full sun to remove any memory.
