One important warning is worth mentioning while changing the A or B directional controllers (while not engaged to the driveshafts for the scrubbers) is NOT to spin the controller by the black output gear which drives the wheel tracks. Doing so can cause misalignment of the nuetral cams within the controller and cause damage. The directional controllers are always to be driven by their white internal gears, NOT the black output gear. (Take it from someone who learned this the hard way)
What causes the track on one side to come off the weels regularly?
Hi
Thanks for the video. It does not show however how to put it completely apart to change the chassis (wheel holder broken)...
Hi Jack
Greetings from South Africa.
My MX8 is ±2years old. Some 2 months ago it developed a trend of running perfectly for ±½ hour and then coming to a dead stop. On lifting it out I find it jammed for no apparent reason. A mild push on the paddles moves it through the jam and then it runs perfectly for another ±½ hour and then jams again.
I have replaced tracks, engine and both gearboxes but no difference (in fact, a bit worse than before, if anything).
Obviously I have checked for and cleared any debris but it does this in again in a chrystal - clear pool. I have also back washed thoroughly to check there is enough suction but even in recirculation mode it does the same thing.
The pool centre I brought it (and all the replacement parts) from has nothing other to suggest than buying a new complete unit. After less than two years usage I am less than impressed.
Any suggestions as to where the problem could lie?
Jack did you ever find out how to pull apart the bottom chassis I to have a broken wheel and I cant figure out how to remove the black plates under the chassis.
