| Solution |
| 1. Be sure filter pump and booster pump are on and working properly. (You may need to clean your pool filter system). 2. Check the Wall Fitting screen for debris and rinse clean. 3. Check wheel RPM, (see page 14). 4. Determine if the Back-Up Valve is cycling. (Hold the valve out of the water and the jet should come on for approx. 30 seconds and shut off for approx. 3 minutes and 30 seconds.) 5. Check all the Hose connections and Swivels for leaks that can cause loss of water pressure. 6. Check debris that may be jammed in the gear teeth on one of the front drive wheels. Gently rotate the front wheels backward to dislodge debris. |

in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

My front wheels are not catching the drive gear. The teeth are not worn out. It just seems like the wheel is too close to the gear so the teeth have a gap between them and the gear. Is there a way to move the wheels forward a little so that the teeth catch the gears?
