Hayward continues to get stuck on pool light and stairs, and will not break away unless done so manually. Also, It continues to rise out of the pool no matter what adjustment I put it on, thus making my pool pump and filter work harder, thus my pool is not getting clean. It is only a little over two years old.

In the automatic pool cleaner is getting stuck, make sure you have proper water flow and that the wings and shoes aren't worn. The hose could be too short and there could be a steering failure. Check your gear box and check and clean your rear screen. If the cleaner is rising out of the pool, make sure that the head is not "floating" or holding water. Remove all air from the cleaner head. Stop all the air from entering the pool thru the return line. If you see fine bubbles, give the hose a good tug. Also, readjust your return lines so that they are not interfering with your operation.
