Frequently Asked Questions - Dolphin EX45 MAYTRONICS

What to do if the robot does not move?

First check that the power cable is properly connected and the outlet works. Then turn off the device (OFF), wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on. If the problem persists, unplug the power supply and open the impeller cover to check that no debris is blocking it.

Why does the robot not clean the entire pool?

Make sure the floating cable is long enough to reach all corners. Clean the filter cartridges. Also check that the brushes are not blocked or worn. For the Classic 9 model, you can adjust the handle float to improve coverage.

How to clean the filter cartridges?

First unplug the power. Open the filter covers on the sides of the robot, remove the cartridges, then clean them with a garden hose. Reassemble by inserting the tabs into the grooves and closing the clips. Do not let the cartridges dry before cleaning.

How to adjust the handle angle?

Press the latch down and hold it. Move the lever to the desired angle, then release the latch to lock. The angle affects the speed along the waterline and the coverage.

Why does the robot float instead of sinking?

If the robot floats, it means it contains air. Place it in the water and press the combined brush to allow water to enter. You can also try taking it out and tilting it to release the air.

How to start the robot for the first time?

Unroll the cable completely to remove kinks. Place the power supply 3 meters from the pool edge, connect the floating cable and power supply. Put the robot in the water, let it sink to the bottom, then turn it on (ON). It will perform a full cleaning cycle.

What to do if the cable has kinks?

Stretch the cable completely and leave it in the sun for at least a day to remove kinks. Also clean the filter cartridges which may be clogged and cause twisting.

How to store the robot off-season?

Empty all water from the robot, carefully clean the filter cartridges and put them back. Coil the cable without kinks and place the robot in a vertical position on its Caddy. Store it away from sun, rain, and frost, at a temperature between 5°C and 45°C.

Why does the robot not climb walls?

Clean the filter cartridges which may be clogged. Check the chemical levels (chlorine, pH) because unbalanced water can make the walls slippery. Make sure the brushes are not worn.

How to change the robot brushes?

The robot comes with a combined brush suitable for most surfaces. To change, remove the old brush by unclipping it and install the new one by snapping it into place. Optional brushes (PVC or Wonder) are mounted the same way. Refer to the manual for exact references.

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°C / 41°-113°F

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 CleanerEnsure the power outlet is functioning properly and that it has not tripped the breaker in the fuse boxTurn the power supply off. Wait 30 seconds then turn it back onUnplug 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	Clean the filters of the cartridgesAfter 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	Check that there is enough slack in the cable for the Pool Cleaner to reach all of the poolClean the filters of the cartridgesForClassic 9only: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)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	Try removing the air againWith the Pool Cleaner in the water squeeze the combined brush/Wonder brush to make sure that they are completely water absorbent
