The cleaner is too heavy. Contact your reseller to obtain a polystyrene floater to install under the cover plate.
Remove debris from the stirrup and verify that it pivots freely. If the roller is worn, replace as necessary. Remove the polystyrene floater. Unscrew the cleaner cover plate and remove the polystyrene floater from inside the cover plate. Replace the cover and resubmerge the cleaner.
