Maytronics 6101611-R4 Foam Climbing Rings (4-Pack)
Part # 6101611-R4 — a set of four replacement foam climbing rings designed for use with many Maytronics / Dolphin robotic pool cleaners. These rings restore traction and climbing ability for pool robots that have difficulty climbing walls or steps due to worn-out ring tread.
Key Features
- Includes 4 foam climbing rings — enough to replace all rings on one robot’s wheel/brush assemblies.
- Soft foam construction engineered for grip and traction on pool surfaces, helping the cleaner climb walls, stairs, or slopes.
- Genuine OEM part — ensures proper fit and compatibility with Dolphin robots that use climbing-ring wheels.
- Easy installation — slip-on replacement, no special tools required.
Typical Applications
Use this climbing ring kit when your robotic cleaner struggles to climb walls, stalls on slopes, or shows uneven movement. Ideal for restoring full mobility on fiberglass, tile, vinyl, or concrete pools where the cleaner must navigate vertical surfaces.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Power off and remove the cleaner from the pool. Remove the existing worn rings and clean the wheel/brush assembly. Slip the new foam climbing rings onto the wheels or brush hubs, ensure a snug fit, and re-assemble. Place the cleaner back in the pool and test its climbing and movement — you should see improved traction and wall-climbing performance.
Why Use This Replacement Kit?
Over time, original foam rings can wear smooth, harden, or deteriorate — reducing a robotic cleaner’s ability to climb and maneuver. Installing new 6101611-R4 rings restores grip and prolongs cleaner lifespan without needing to replace the entire wheel assembly.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect rings periodically for wear, cracks, or hardening; replace as soon as traction degrades.
- Rinse rings after heavy usage or cleaning cycles to remove debris and chemical residue.
- Store spare rings in a cool, dry place — avoid exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals to preserve foam elasticity.
- Test climbing performance after replacement to verify improved wall/grip behavior before leaving cleaner unsupervised.
