6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Maxspect XF130 Gyre Generator, including the driver door, is essential for longevity and optimal performance.

• Unusual Noise or Vibration:
  • Confirm the driver door is fully closed and secured.
  • Inspect for any foreign objects trapped within the driver assembly.
  • Ensure the Gyre Generator is properly mounted and not vibrating against the aquarium glass.
• Unit Not Starting:
  • Check power connections.
  • Ensure the controller is functioning correctly.
