3. Installation Instructions

Replacing the chassis requires careful handling and attention to detail. It is recommended to perform this procedure in a clean, well-lit area. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.

3.1. Safety Precautions

• Always disconnect the pool cleaner from its power source before beginning any maintenance or installation.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, if necessary.
• Keep small parts away from children.

3.2. Required Tools

• Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead may be required)
• Small pry tool (optional, for separating plastic components)
• Clean work surface

3.3. Step-by-Step Installation

1. Disassembly of Old Chassis:

   Carefully disassemble your existing pool cleaner to access the old chassis. This typically involves removing the top cover, filter basket, and any internal components attached to the chassis. Document the placement of screws and components, possibly by taking photos, to aid reassembly.

2. Removing Internal Components:

   Once the old chassis is exposed, carefully detach all internal components such as motors, impellers, and wiring harnesses. Note their orientation and connection points. It is crucial to handle these components gently to avoid damage.

5. Reassembly:

   Once all internal components are secured, reassemble the outer casing of the pool cleaner. Ensure all screws are tightened appropriately, but do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or cracking plastic.

6. Final Check:

   Before placing the cleaner back into the pool, perform a visual inspection to ensure all parts are correctly assembled and there are no loose components. Test the cleaner's basic functions if possible, such as motor activation, outside of the water for a brief moment to confirm operation.

4. Operating Instructions

The MAYTRONICS Diagnostic Basic - Chassis 9980200 is a structural component and does not have direct operating functions. Once correctly installed, the operation of the pool cleaner will revert to its original specifications. Refer to your specific MAYTRONICS robotic pool cleaner's user manual for detailed operating instructions.

5. Maintenance

The chassis itself requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection during routine pool cleaner maintenance is recommended.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the chassis of any debris, dirt, or chemical residue that may accumulate. Use fresh water and a soft brush.
• Inspection: During filter cleaning or other routine maintenance, visually inspect the chassis for any signs of cracks, stress, or damage. Ensure all components attached to the chassis remain secure.
• Storage: When the pool cleaner is not in use for extended periods, store it in a dry, shaded area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the integrity of the plastic components.

6. Troubleshooting

Most issues related to the chassis will stem from incorrect installation or physical damage. If you encounter problems after replacing the chassis, consider the following:

• Cleaner Not Moving/Operating:

  Ensure all internal components (motors, impellers, drive belts) are correctly reattached and connected. Check for any pinched wires or obstructions. Verify that the power supply is functioning and connected properly.

• Unusual Noises:

  This could indicate a component is not seated correctly or is rubbing against the chassis. Disassemble and re-inspect the placement of all parts, especially rotating ones like impellers or brushes.
• Water Leaks (if applicable to the cleaner design):

  While the chassis itself is not typically a sealing component, ensure that any seals or gaskets associated with components mounted to the chassis are properly seated and undamaged.

• Physical Damage to New Chassis:

  If the chassis was damaged during installation or subsequent use, it may need to be replaced again. Avoid dropping the cleaner or subjecting it to excessive force.

For issues not resolved by these steps, contact MAYTRONICS customer support or a certified service center.
