Frequently Asked Questions - Dolphin PS40 MAYTRONICS

How to install the robot for the first time?

Unroll the floating cable completely and stretch it to avoid knots. Adjust the handle diagonally and lock it. Position the power supply about 3 m from the pool edge, in the middle of the length. Connect the floating cable to the power supply by aligning the notch, then turn clockwise. Plug the power supply into the mains (OFF position).

How to turn on the robot?

Place the robot in the pool and let it sink to the bottom. Make sure the cable is not stuck. Set the power supply switch to ON. The robot operates automatically until the end of the cleaning cycle.

What to do if the robot does not move?

Check that the power supply is properly plugged in and the outlet works (circuit breaker not tripped). Turn off the robot, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Disconnect the power and inspect the impeller for possible blockage.

Why does the robot only clean part of the pool?

Ensure the cable is long enough to reach all corners. Clean the filter cartridges. Check that brushes are not obstructed or worn. For the Classic 9 model, adjust the handle float to improve coverage.

How to clean the filter cartridges?

Disconnect the power. Open the filter covers on each side and remove the cartridges. Open the fasteners and take out the filters. Rinse them with a garden hose. To reassemble, insert the positioning tabs into the grooves, close the fasteners, and replace everything.

The robot floats instead of staying on the bottom, what to do?

The robot may contain air. Try pressing the brushes (if they contain sponges) so they absorb water if dry. Ensure the robot is well immersed and let it sink.

How to maintain the impeller?

Disconnect the power. Remove the impeller cover using a Phillips screwdriver. Clean debris around the housing, then reassemble the cover.

Can I use the robot with a chlorine or salt pool?

Yes, the robot is suitable for pools treated with chlorine (max 4 ppm) or salt (NaCl max 5000 ppm). Respect recommended water conditions: pH 7.0-7.8, temperature 6-34°C.

How to store the robot at the end of the season?

Drain all water from the robot. Clean the filter cartridges thoroughly and put them back. Wind the cable without knots. Store the robot vertically on its caddy, away from sun, rain, and frost, at a temperature between 5 and 45 °C.

What to do if the cable gets tangled?

To remove knots, fully stretch the cable and leave it in the sun for at least one day. Also clean the filter cartridges.

5. USING THE POOL CLEANER

The Pool Cleaner is very simple to use. Simply put it into the pool and make sure that it is properly sitting on the floor of the pool. Turn it ON and let it get the job done.

5.1. Setup

Before using the Pool Cleaner for the first time perform the following steps:

Unwind the cable and stretch it out completely so that it has no kinks.

Some models arrive with plastic coverings on the brushes.

Remove them before use.

5.1.1. Adjusting the handle angle

The robot's handle should be adjusted and locked diagonally in order to ensure optimum cleaning results.

The handle angle can be adjusted also to determine the speed at which the robot advances along the water-line.

To adjust the handle angle:

A. Press the latch down and hold it in position.
B. Move the handle to the desired position and release the latch to hold the handle in place.

Position the power supply so that it is approximately in the middle of the long side of the pool at a distance of 3m / 10ft

Attach the floating cable to the power supply by inserting it with the notch on the connector (1) lined up with the groove in the socket on the power supply and turning clockwise (2).

Plug in the power supply and leave it in the OFF position.

5.2. Putting the Pool Cleaner into the pool

If your Pool Cleaner is equipped with brushes that contain sponges, dip the brushes in the water and squeeze them so that they will absorb water the first time you use the Pool Cleaner, or if the brushes have dried out between uses.

Release the Pool Cleaner and let it sink to the floor of the pool.

Make sure that the floating cable is free of any obstructions.

To avoid kinks in the floating cable, place approximately enough cable in the water for the Pool Cleaner to reach the farthest corner of the pool.

Turn the power supply ON.
The Pool Cleaner will now operate until it has reached
the end of the cleaning cycle.

5.3. Removing the Pool Cleaner from the pool

Turn OFF and unplug the power supply.

Using the floating cable, bring the Pool Cleaner to the pool's edge.
Using the handle remove the Pool Cleaner from the pool.

DO NOT PULL THE POOL CLEANER FROM THE POOL USING THE CABLE.

6. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

6.1. Cleaning the filters of the cartridges

Unplug the power supply before any servicing activity.

Note: Do not let the filters of the cartridges dry out before cleaning.

1. Open the filter covers and remove the cartridges from both sides of the robot.
2. Open the clips and remove the filters.

1. Clean the filters with a hose.

1. Reassembling the filter elements Insert the locating tabs at the bottom of the filter element into their grooves on the base frame then close the "S" clip.

Reinstall the base frames with filters according to the diagram.

Do not force the filters into place.

6.2. Dismantling and cleaning the impeller

Unplug the power supply before cleaning.

Dismantle the impeller cover and clean around the impeller housing, then reassemble.

(Use Phillips head screwdriver).

If the Pool Cleaner will not be in use for an extended period, perform the following storage steps:

Make sure that no water is left in the Pool Cleaner
- Thoroughly clean the filters of the cartridges and insert in place
Roll up the cable so that it has no kinks and place on the Caddy
- Store the pool cleaner upright on the Caddy in a protected area out of direct sun/rain/frost at a temperature of between 5^ - 45^ / 41^ - 113^

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

If the suggested solutions do not solve the problem contact your dealer

Problem Solution
Pool Cleaner does not move 1.	Check that the power supply cable is plugged properly into the power supply socket. Check power to the socket and reconnect Pool Cleaner 2. Ensure the power outlet is functioning properly and that it has not tripped the breaker in the fuse box 3. Turn the power supply off. Wait 30 seconds then turn it back on 4. Unplug the power supply. Open the impeller cover and check that nothing is trapped in the impeller
The Pool Cleaner moves but does not clean the pool	1. Clean the filters of the cartridges 2. After the Pool Cleaner starts moving observe it for several minutes and make sure that it keeps moving. If it stops moving check the impeller and the drive system to see if any debris is stuck there
The Pool Cleaner cleans only part of the pool	1. Check that there is enough slack in the cable for the Pool Cleaner to reach all of the pool 2. Clean the filters of the cartridges 3. For Classic 9 only: You may enhance the pool coverage by adjusting the handle float. For optimal pool coverage the Pool Cleaner should turn on the floor at 90° angle (the Pool Cleaner rotates twice before completing the 90° turn). • If the Pool Cleaner turns in an angle wider than 90°, pull out the handle float on the cable's entry-side (A) • If the Pool Cleaner does not complete a 90° turn, pull out the handle float opposite to the cable's entry-side (B) 4. Check the brushes to see if they are obstructed or worn out
The Pool Cleaner floats instead of sitting on the floor of the pool	1. Try removing the air again 2. With the Pool Cleaner in the water squeeze the combined brush/Wonder brush to make sure that they are completely water absorbent
Cable has kinks 1. To remove the kinks stretch the cable out completely and let it lie for at least a day in the sun 2. Clean the filters of the cartridges
The Pool Cleaner doesn't climb the walls	1. Clean the filters of the cartridges 2. Check the level of the chemicals of the water. Improper levels may allow the growth of algae making the walls slippery. If so, adjust the levels and scrub the walls 3. Check that the brushes aren't worn out 4. For Top 9 only: Check that the wall climbing mode hasn't been cancelled via the remote control unit

To move the floats back to their original position: while pressing the release button on the base of the handle float - push the handle float back.
