Restore Power, Traction, and Climbing Performance to Your MX8 Pool Cleaner

The Zodiac MX8 Engine Assembly Replacement Kit (R0524900) is the core drive component responsible for restoring propulsion, traction, and wall-climbing performance to Zodiac® MX8 suction-side pool cleaners. This complete engine assembly transfers suction energy into mechanical movement, allowing the cleaner to grip the pool surface and navigate efficiently.

Over time, internal gears and drive components wear down from constant operation, debris load, and suction stress. When this happens, the cleaner may stall, slip, or fail to climb walls. Replacing the engine assembly restores proper drive function and brings your MX8 back to full cleaning performance.

This product is engineered strictly for swimming pool equipment use.

What the MX8 Engine Assembly Does

The engine assembly is the heart of the MX8 cleaner, converting suction flow into mechanical movement. It allows the cleaner to:

• Propel forward across the pool floor

• Maintain traction on multiple surfaces

• Climb pool walls effectively

• Navigate turns and obstacles smoothly

Without a functioning engine assembly, the cleaner cannot operate correctly—even with strong suction.

Using OEM engine assemblies ensures:

• Proper gear alignment
