Cause
Solution

It may be necessary to purchase an AXV096P, “In-Line” vacuum gauge from your hayward dealer to verify performance of our system
Worn shoes
Replace shoes
Hose too short
Add additional hose per installation instructions
Stuck on ladder
Remove ladder or install a Hayward AXW100 Ladder Bumper
Steering failure
Check and clean rear screen
Check to see if cone gear rotates smoothly in both directions
If the cleaner appears to be stuck or “hung up” at the wall, ladder, or other obstruction, or anywhere else in the pool, and does return to normal operation within a minute or so, turn the filter system OFF, Remove the cleaner from your pool. Check for blockages or any other obvious problems. Check the Bumper Ring for free rotation. Check filter system for water flow and re-install the cleaner. If the cleaner is getting stuck, contact your Hayward dealer of Hayward at 1-800-227-1477. Under no conditions should the cleaner remain in the pool connected to the filter system if the problem of getting stuck or “hung-up” is not corrected

Cleaner not moving, stays in one spot. I can see that 2 of the 6 clear plastic wheels are missing. was going to order replacements but want to know tis is the likely reason for non movement.
