• Store Properly: Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspect Cord: Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage or wear.
• Clean Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the cleaner with a soft cloth to remove any residue.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your robotic pool cleaner.

7.1 Cleaner Not Moving

• Check Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the cleaner and the power supply unit, and that the power supply is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify the power light on the power supply is illuminated.
• Verify Lid Closure: Ensure the cleaner's lid is fully closed and latched. The cleaner may not operate if the lid is not properly secured.
• Inspect for Obstructions: Check if any debris is lodged in the brushes or tracks, preventing movement.

7.2 Poor Cleaning Performance

• Clean Filter Basket: A dirty or clogged filter basket will reduce suction power. Clean the filter thoroughly as described in the Maintenance section.
• Check Brushes: Ensure the scrubbing brushes are clean and not worn out. Replace if necessary.
• Water Chemistry: Ensure pool water chemistry is balanced, as excessive algae or very fine particles can sometimes overwhelm the filter.

7.3 Cord Tangling

• Utilize Swivel: The diagnostic swivel is designed to minimize tangling. Ensure it is free to rotate.
• Proper Cord Deployment: When placing the cleaner in the pool, try to uncoil the cord fully and lay it out as straight as possible on the deck.
