- Excess Air in the System:
There may be an accumulation of excess air within the robot's system. To remedy this, it is advisable to flip the robot over before placing it in the pool, allowing any trapped air to escape.

- Blue Cable Slack:
Verify that the blue cable has enough slack and is not exerting a pull on the robot, which can hinder its movement. To check this, measure the pool’s longest side and allow this amount of cable in the pool.
- Clogged Filters:
- Impeller Maintenance:
