GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the pool vacuum (about 6 hrs) before
using it for the first time.
WARNING!
KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE OPENING TO AVOID BEING
HIT BY THE IMPELLER WHEN IT’S ON.
Use only the original external adaptor and charging cable provided.
Make sure the pool vacuum and the charging port are clean and dry before
set-up and charging. (TIPS: use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and
charging pins)
The charging pins are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port
and around the pins could result in natural occurrence of stains (a
byproduct of chemical reaction between water and electric currents).
Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Set the pool vacuum to Power Off/
Charging Mode by turning the switching knob anticlockwise until it clicks
and completely exposes the charging port.
2.
Align and attach the charging cable to the charging port. WARNING! Be
sure not to invert the charging cable and ensure both the charging cable
and charging port are clean and dry before charging them. TIPS: Use
cotton bud to dry the charging port and pins. Connect the external
adaptor’s cable plug to the charging cable’s port.
4/155

3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on
the external adaptor will turn red when the vacuum is charging and green
when it is fully charged. Charge it for 5-6 hours for best performance.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you
detect any of the following:
-Offensive or unusual odor
-Excessive heat
-Deformation, cracks, leaks
-Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the
power source and unplug the charging cable from the main unit.
WARNING! Never leave the charging cable while the pool vacuum is in
the water.
Normally the pool vacuum is designed to operate for up to 75 minutes on a full charge.
Note: Empty the filter bag regularly. Excessive debris increases the burden to the motor
and may shorten the operating time.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a
limited life and will gradually lose its capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time
of the pool vacuum will gradually reduce after repeated charging and discharging
throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL”
for instructions regarding battery disposal.
NOTE: Let the pool vacuum rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set-Up Before Use
Telescopic pole (not provided) assembly (for EU & US only)
Press on the V-clip on the pole connector to retract its side pins. Slide the telescopic pole
into the connector until it’s locked in place by the side pins and holes and then release the
V-clip.
RED light - Charging
GREEN light - Charged
5/155

Specific telescopic pole (not provided) assembly (for Australia/New Zealand only)
Press on the internal wishbone clip (preinstalled inside the specific telescopic pole) to
retract its side pins. Slide the specific telescopic pole into the specific pole connector until
it’s locked in place by the side pins and holes .
Filter Bag Assembly
Spread the filter bag over the top opening of the main
body of the pool vacuum. Make sure the cord of the bag
is placed under the flange of the top opening.
6/155

While holding the cord, press on the cord fastener and
push it under the flange.
TIPS: To secure the filter bag, when pushing the cord
fastener under the flange, pull one cord instead of two
cords as shown in diagram.
Lift up the bag to ensure it is totally secured before
deploying the pool vacuum into water.
Brush assembly
Align and insert all brushes into the notches at the underside of the pool vacuum
NOTE: the 2 brushes provided are not interchangeable. Select the brush according to the
curvature and shape of the notch. Ensure the brushes are fitted properly.
7/155

To detach the brush, insert the tip of a small screwdriver into the corner notch and pry up
the brush.
Pool Preparation
- If the liner is brittle, damaged, or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the
necessary repairs or perform a liner replacement prior to using the pool vacuum.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the pool
vacuum into the water.
OPERATION
WARNING! KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE OPENING TO
AVOID BEING HIT BY THE IMPELLER WHEN IT’S ON.
1) Bring your pool vacuum to the side of your pool. Turn the switching knob clockwise
until it stops and clicks, and the power indicator at the top corner will light up.
Immerse the pool vacuum into water. The indicator will begin flashing when about
10-15 minutes of working time remains.
Light Color
Green Power On
Red Impeller stops
(impeller clogged)
To effectively vacuum up debris, ensure the pool vacuum is laid flat on the pool floor as
you steer it back and forth in regular motion over debris patches for collection. Debris is
collected from the front, side and back to fill up the filter bag.
Excess dirt and debris in the pool could clog the impeller, which would automatically stop
to protect the motor, and the indicator light would turn red. Remove the vacuum from the
8/155

pool and turn it off prior to unclogging and emptying the filter bag if it is full. To resume
operation, turn the switching knob anticlockwise until Power Off is selected, then turn it
clockwise to select Power On.
2) To retrieve the pool vacuum, bring it poolside and flip it upside down before lifting. This
is done to prevent debris from scattering back into the pool and avoid bending the pole
in the process.
3) Rinse the pool vacuum with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any aggressive
detergent.
4) Dry the charging port and pins thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them).
Vacuuming the Sunken Compartment of an Automatic Slatted Cover
WARNING! Pay attention to all safety warnings in the manual of your
automatic slatted cover concerning this cleaning operation beforehand.
The minimum distance required for the immersion of the vacuum into the sunken
compartment is 24cm (9.5in).
- Remove the duckboard and unroll the pool slat according to instructions from your
pool cover manual.
- Attach a telescopic pole / specific telescopic pole (not provided) to the pool vacuum
as instructed in the manual.
- Power on the vacuum then align it as shown in the image above before immersion.
- Once the cleaner reaches the pool floor, parallel it to the pool length as shown above
and start vacuuming the sunken compartment.
