How Do I Assemble the Caddy for My Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner?
28 November, 2025

Owning a Dolphin robotic pool cleaner makes maintaining your pool easy, efficient, and hands-free. To keep your pool cleaner organised and ready to use, Maytronics offers a convenient Universal Caddy as an optional accessory or included with your robot purchase. The Universal Dolphin Caddy is a durable trolley designed to store, transport, and protect your robot unit, cable and power supply. If you’ve just unboxed your new Dolphin assembling the caddy correctly ensures your pool vacuum stays safe and performs at its best.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to assemble your Dolphin caddy.
Step 1: Unbox and Organise the Parts
Start by laying out all the caddy components on a flat surface. You should have:
The base
The wheels
The vertical support poles
The handlebar
The control unit holder
Screws and fittings
Check that all parts are included before you begin. The Dolphin caddy will come with a small instruction manual, but this guide will help guide you.
Step 2: Attach the Base and Wheels
Place the caddy base flat on the ground. Screw the wheels securely onto the sides of the base. Make sure they rotate freely - this will make moving your pool cleaner much easier.
Step 3: Insert the Vertical Panel
Take the vertical panel and insert it firmly into the designated slots on the base until you hear it click into place. This will support the handle and control unit holder, so ensure it’s aligned and stable.
Step 4: Add the Handle
Next, slide the handlebar onto the top of the vertical panel. Once attached, the handle should feel sturdy enough to pull or push the caddy without wobbling.

Step 5: Mount the Control Unit Holder
Locate the control unit holder - this is the tray or bracket designed to hold your Dolphin’s power supply. Slide or snap it into position, usually about halfway up the vertical panel Ensure it’s secure, so the control unit won’t fall when the caddy moves.
Step 6: Secure the Power Supply
Place the Dolphin power supply onto the holder. Connect the cable neatly along the frame using the provided clips or guides. Avoid wrapping the cable too tightly - it’s best to keep a gentle loop to prevent strain on the cords.
Step 7: Mount the Pool Cleaner
Finally, lift your pool vacuum by its handle and set it gently on the caddy base. Coil the power cable loosely around the handle, making sure there are no tight bends or twists.

Pro Tips for Using Your Caddy
Store indoors or in a shaded area: Direct sunlight can damage cables and plastic parts over time.
Rinse and dry before storage: After each use, rinse your robotic pool cleaner with fresh water and let it dry before placing it on the caddy.
Check cable condition: Avoid catching or running over the cable when moving the caddy.
Why the Caddy Matters
Your Dolphin caddy isn’t just for convenience - it’s part of the long-term care of your pool cleaner. Proper storage helps prevent tangles, damage, and unnecessary wear. It also keeps your equipment neat and ready to use anytime you need to clean your pool.
