My impeller is clogged. How do I clean it?

Follow these steps to clear a clogged impeller on your corded Dolphin robot.

1. Step 1: Unplug the power supply Make sure the power supply is disconnected from the electrical outlet before you begin.

2. Step 2: Clear the impeller If you see debris trapped in the impeller, open it, remove the debris, and put it back together. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver, never a power drill.

3. Step 3: Check the side grilles If your model has grilles on its sides, look for visible debris there too.
