• Battery Disposal
  Your Rechargeable Pool Vacuum Battery is a Ni-MH battery which must be disposed of properly is required; please contact your local authority for information.

Troubleshooting

• Jammed Impeller
  If the impeller chokes after a short time in operation, it may be jammed with trapped debris. To free the impeller:

  • Turn off the button, and connected the cleaner to the mains by means of the charger. lf the Green LED is on, it proves that the battery is destroyed (the solution is referring to the step of how to replace the destroyed battery group ); if the Red LED is on, start the cleaner to see whether the impeller will be rotating or not. lf not, it proves that the impeller is jammed. (The solution is referring to how to resolve the problem that the impeller is jammed.)

  • The Green LED indicator is on after it is charged. Start the power, whereas the impeller does not work; turn off the button.
    Connect the charger and press the button to check whether the impeller works normally. Turn off the button, and if the Green indicator is on, pull charger out of the cleaner. Start the power again. lf the impeller still does not work, it proves that the battery is faulty.
    Use a voltmeter to judge whether the battery is destroyed or the impeller is obstacle. Firstly charging the battery for more than 10 minutes. Pull the battery out of the cleaner, and measure the voltage of the battery. lf it is “O”, the battery is in dysfunction; if it is not “O”, it proved that the impeller is jammed.

  • Rotate the impeller to check it turns smoothly. Make sure the battery is fully charged.
