Frequently Asked Questions - Dolphin F50 MAYTRONICS

How to install the robot for the first time?

Fully unroll the floating cable to remove kinks. Set the handle angle diagonally for optimal results. Position the power supply about 3 m from the pool edge. Connect the cable to the power supply, then turn on the device after submerging it.

What to do if the robot does not move?

Check that the power cable is properly connected and that the outlet works. Turn off the device, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. If the problem persists, remove the impeller cover to check that no debris is blocking the turbine.

How to clean the filter cartridges?

Disconnect the power before any operation. Open the filter covers on each side of the robot, remove the cartridges, then clean them with a garden hose. Reassemble by inserting the positioning tabs into the grooves and closing the latches.

Why doesn't the robot climb the walls?

Clean the filter cartridges. Check the chemical levels (chlorine, pH) as algae can make walls slippery. Make sure the brushes are not worn. For the Top 9 model, check that the climbing mode has not been disabled.

How to adjust the cleaning coverage?

To improve coverage, adjust the handle float. If the robot pivots more than 90°, pull the float toward the cable entry side. If it pivots less than 90°, pull it to the opposite side. The robot should make 90° rotations for optimal coverage.

What to do if the floating cable has kinks?

Fully unroll the cable and leave it in the sun for at least a day to remove kinks. Also clean the filter cartridges, as a dirty filter can reduce efficiency and cause twisting.

The robot floats instead of sinking, what to do?

Check that the brushes (if they contain sponges) are fully soaked with water. Squeeze them under water to expel air. If the problem persists, submerge the robot and shake it to remove air bubbles.

How to store the robot in winter?

Drain all water from the robot. Carefully clean the filter cartridges and put them back. Rewind the cable without kinks. Store the robot vertically on its Caddy, protected from direct sunlight, rain, and frost, between 5°C and 45°C.

What optional accessories are available?

You can purchase specific brushes: PVC brush for concrete and fiberglass, Wonder brush for smooth ceramics, or a combined brush. Ultra-fine filters are also available as an option for finer filtration.

The robot stops mid-cycle, what to do?

Check that the cable is not stuck or kinked. Clean the filter cartridges, as a clogged filter can cause a stop. If the impeller is blocked, remove the cover and clear debris. As a last resort, turn off and on after 30 seconds.

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
Cable has kinks 1. To remove the kinks stretch the cable out completely and let it lie for at least a day in the sunClean the filters of the cartridges
The Pool Cleaner doesn’t climb the walls	Clean the filters of the cartridgesCheck 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 wallsCheck that the brushes aren’t worn outForTop 9only: 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.
