What Does the Steering Bracket Roller Do?
Hayward AquaNaut and PoolCleaner suction-side automatic cleaners use a mechanical steering system to help change direction as they travel throughout the pool.
The steering bracket roller assembly is part of this mechanism and helps coordinate the cleaner's directional movement.
Proper operation of the steering mechanism helps the cleaner navigate the swimming pool instead of continuously traveling along the same path.
When steering components become worn or damaged, the cleaner may have difficulty turning or maintaining its normal cleaning pattern.
When to Replace Your Steering Bracket Roller
Replacement may be necessary when the original steering bracket roller becomes worn, damaged, or no longer operates correctly.
- Cleaner repeatedly travels in the same direction.
- Cleaner has difficulty changing direction.
- Cleaner repeatedly becomes stuck in certain areas.
- Steering roller is cracked, broken, or missing.
- Steering mechanism binds or does not move freely.
- Excessive wear is visible on the steering components.
- Damage is discovered during cleaner maintenance.
Troubleshooting: Poor cleaner movement can also result from worn wheel bearings, damaged gears, incorrect suction, worn tires, or debris inside the steering mechanism.
Inspect the complete cleaner before determining which replacement parts are required.
Common AquaNaut Steering Problems
A properly functioning AquaNaut cleaner should periodically change direction as its internal steering system operates.
When the cleaner stops turning correctly, inspect the steering bracket roller and associated components.
Common symptoms include:
- Cleaner moves in circles.
- Cleaner continuously follows the same path.
- Cleaner becomes stuck against pool walls.
- Cleaner does not steer properly.
- Steering components are worn or damaged.
Replacing the PVXH011SA may help restore proper navigation when the steering bracket roller is the cause of the problem.
