This video shows you how to fix the most common failure of the Hayward Navigator Ultra Vac. This is the part that does all the moving and it tends to wear out after a year or two. It is a very east fix if you follow the steps outlined here. Remember to turn the cleaner over before you take the top off or the gearbox will fall out. If that happens the gears might come out. It's not hard to put back together, looks like the gears in a clock, but it is better if you don't have to mess with it. You can get the kit online for about $50.00. I recommend you do both the A-frame and the Turbine at the same time, hence the kit. If you just change the A-frame, chances are it won't work nearly as good (Turbine tends to wear along with the A-frame). Here is the kit: Hayward Navigator A-Frame/Turbine Kit AXV601CAT/621DAT You can take it to your local pool store and they will probably put the parts in for free, but may charge more than the online price. Once you do it a couple of times it gets easier. If you plan to keep your cleaner for the longhaul, get used to doing this repair.
