USING THE POOL CLEANER

The Pool Cleaner is very simple to use. Simply put it into the pool and make sure that it is properly sitting on the floor of the pool. Turn it ON and let it get the job done.
5.1 Setup
Before using the Pool Cleaner for the first time perform the following steps:

Unwind the cable and stretch it out completely so that it has no kinks.
Some models arrive with plastic coverings on the brushes.
Remove them before use.

Adjusting the handle angle
The robot’s handle should be adjusted and locked diagonally in order to ensure optimum cleaning results.
The handle angle can be adjusted also to determine the speed at which the robot advances along the water-line.
To adjust the handle angle:
A. Press the latch down and hold it in position.
B. Move the handle to the desired position and release the latch to hold the handle in place.

Position the power supply so that it is approximately in the middle of the long side of the pool at a distance of min 3.5 m (12 ft) from the pool and placed 11cm (4 in) above ground.

Attach the floating cable to the power supply by inserting it with the notch on the connector (1) lined up with the groove in the socket on the power supply and turning clockwise (2).
Plug in the power supply and leave it in the OFF position.

5.2 Putting the Pool Cleaner into the pool
If your Pool Cleaner is equipped with brushes that contain sponges, dip the brushes in the water and squeeze them so that they will absorb water the first time you use the Pool Cleaner, or if the brushes have dried out between uses.
Release the Pool Cleaner and let it sink to the floor of the pool.
Make sure that the floating cable is free of any obstructions.
To avoid kinks in the floating cable, place approximately enough cable in the water for the Pool Cleaner to reach the farthest corner of the pool.

Turn the power supply ON.
The Pool Cleaner will now operate until it has reached the end of the cleaning cycle.

5.3 Removing the Pool Cleaner from the pool

Turn OFF and unplug the power supply.

Using the floating cable, bring the Pool Cleaner to the pool’s edge.
Using the handle remove the Pool Cleaner from the pool.

DO NOT PULL THE POOL CLEANER FROM THE POOL USING THE CABLE.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Note: Do not let the filters of the cartridges dry out before cleaning.

Open the filter covers and remove the cartridges from both sides of the robot.

Open the clips and remove the filters.

Clean the filters with a hose.

Reassembling the filter elements: Insert the locating tabs at the bottom of the filter element into their grooves on the base frame then close the “S” clip.
