WARNING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Read Prior to Use
SUCTION HAZARD - When using the SWIFT pool cleaner, keep it away from body
parts when the cleaner is connected to suction.
CHILD DROWNING RISK - Adult use only. Never allow children to use the SWIFT
pool cleaner. Do not allow swimmers in the pool during cleaner operation. Store out
of the reach of children.
PREPARING YOUR POOL
Before you assemble and install your SWIFT pool cleaner, we strongly recommend you
carry out the following steps to ensure your pool is ready for your cleaner to operate.
1. Make sure the chemical balance of your pool water is correct.
2. Brush your pool and let any debris settle.
3. Vacuum your pool using a manual vacuum cleaner.
4. Clean your pool lter, skimmer basket and pump strainer basket.
5. Close the pool main drain (if your pool has one).
6. Adjust the pool return lines so the water ow is directed downward to encourage
complete cleaning of your pool. The ow of water from the return line(s) can affect
the performance of SWIFT, as it can push the cleaner away from certain areas, or
cause it to stay in one section of the pool.
7. If necessary, replace the eyeball tting with the Return Line Diverter supplied
with your SWIFT pool cleaner.

STEP 3: USE OF THE DEFLECTOR WHEEL
Use the Deector Wheel if your pool has tight
corners and/or a ladder. The Deector Wheel
helps guide your SWIFT pool cleaner around
these obstacles.
To t the Deector Wheel, simply push it over
the Hand nut, until it has engaged (should hear
click) correctly and rotates freely. See Fig 3.
Figure 3
STEP 4: CONNECT HOSE AND POSITION THE HOSE WEIGHT
Connect sufcient lengths of hose to cover the
distance from the pool to the farthest point of
the pool plus one length (See Fig 4) The F/F
hose is used to connect to the cleaner directly.
The male end of the M/F Hose’s inserts into the
female hose (Fig 4a). Continue until desired
length is achieved.
The Female end of the M/F hose also connects
to valve regulator valve. See next step for
installation into the skimmer.
Figure 4
Most pools will require the use of the hose
weights (D). This is the counteract excessive
buoyancy created by the hose. This also helps
guide the cleaner round the pool.
1 x Hose weight is put placed approx 1 meter
from the cleaner where the F/F connects the the
F/M hose section.
The second hose weight is normally used if the
cleaner is getting stuck to convince the hose to
move away from a troubling area.
Or to balance on the oor see gure 5.

STEP 5: CONNECTING AND USING THE FLOW CONTROL VALVE
The Regulator Valve ensures your SWIFT
pool cleaner receives the ow required to
ensure optimum performance.
• Make sure the pool pump is turned OFF
• Expel all the air from the hose
• Attach Regulator Valve to the female hose
(smaller end). See Fig 6 and 6a
• Insert the Regulator Valve into the 45 degree
elbow (H), The arrow should be facing the
elbow. (Figure 6a). Place the rst 45 degree
elbow into the second then push the smaller
end into the hose cone (F). The hose cone
Then push’s into the vacuum plate (not
supplied)
• Turn the pool pump ON
• Your SWIFT pool cleaner will now begin
automatically vacuum your pool (adjust water
ow if needed)
Please be aware that the vacuum plate or
skimmer plate may vary depending on the
specic pool model. The pictures provided are
meant to serve as a general reference only.
The Regulator Valve is preset between position
3-4. This provides the ideal operating ow in
most pools. But if necessary, the ow can be
adjusted by using any setting from Position
1 through 6 (1 = minimum ow, to slow your
cleaner down, 6 = maximum ow, your cleaner
will run faster ). See Fig 7.

RETURN LINE WATER FLOW
IMPORTANT: The Water ow from your return
line can push your cleaner’s hose and affect its
performance. It may cause your cleaner to get
stuck or push it away from areas you would like
cleaned.
To correct this, adjust the eyeballs in your pool.
Figure 8.
A return line diverter is included in the box (G) if
you require to change the ow more dramatically
then normal eyeballs would allow. Simply
remove your eyeball from your pool wall and
replace the middle section with the new part (G).
Figure 8
Position the eyeball opening to redirect the
return line water ow so it does not interfere with
the cleaners movement. Try Different positions to
see which works best in your pool:
• Flow directed along side the pool (the tile line)
• Flow Directed downward
• Flow directed against the hose will help steer
the cleaner away from obstructions such as
stairs/ ladder or corners.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Due to the individual characteristics of your pool, some adjustment may be required to get the best
possible performance from your SWIFT pool cleaner. The following tips will help you to optimise the
performance of your cleaner.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
SWIFT does not move, or
moves slowly.
• Make sure the main drain is closed.
• Check the Flow Control Valve and make sure the water ow to SWIFT is sufcient.
• Check diaphragm for wear or damage.
• Backwash lter and empty pump basket.
SWIFT gets stuck at steps or in
a corner.
• Fit Deector Wheel.
• Make sure total hose length is correct.
• Try adding or removing one length of hose.
• Adjust return line eyeball ttings to use the water ow to help guide SWIFT away from the steps
or corner.
SWIFT does not climb walls. • Adjust Flow Control Valve to increase ow to SWIFT.
• Check balance of cleaner to make sure hose weights are in the correct position.
NOTE: While the swift is able to climb walls, it is best to get the cleaner working on the oor
before aiming to climb the walls.
SWIFT moves in a repetitive,
non-random pattern.
• Make sure return line ttings are directed downwards.
• Check that hose weight position is correct.
• Make sure total hose length is correct.
SWIFT stays in only one end of
the pooI.
• Check the return line ow and redirect if necessary.
• Check the totaI hose length and add more hose if necessary.
• Check that hose weight position is correct.
Air bubbles can be seen in the
ow from the return line.
• Check the hose to ensure there are no leaks.
• Check the connection of the Regulator Valve, to make sure it is underwater at all times.
• Check the pump basket lid is tted correctly, is not loose or cracked and that no o-rings are worn
or missing. If necessary, contact your pool professional or assistance.
SWIFT falls on its side. • Make sure the Outer Extension Pipe swivels freely.
Hose won’t t Regulator Valve. • Make sure you are using the Female end of the hose. It is a very tight t to ensure no leaks.
Diaphragm Wears down
Prematurely.
• Slow down your swift, by reducing the ow through the cleaner. (using the ow control valve).
If there is too much ow the Diaphragm will wear below the retaining ring. A small reduction in
speed can result in a substantial increase in the life of the Diaphragm.
• Diaphragms can stretch and become less effective. Remove the cleaner from the pool, check
the diaphragm for tears or excessive stretching by inserting a $2 (aus) coin into the diaphragm
while holding it upright. If the coin passes through without shaking or prodding, replace the
diaphragm.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To maintain the performance of your SWIFT pool cleaner:
• When removed from the pool, make sure the hose is stored straight in shade. Never coil the hose as this
may cause distortion which may adversely effect the SWIFT.
• Remove the SWIFT (including hose) before chemical treatment. Wait a minimum of 4 hours after super
chlorination (shock treatment) of your pool before re-installing the SWIFT.
• Clean the lter, skimmer basket and pump basket regularly
• When not in use, keep the SWIFT Skirt at to avoid risk of warping
• Periodically inspect your SWIFT for signs of wear. If necessary, replace any worn parts.
NOTE: Due to the harsh conditions in which your cleaner operates, its colour may fade and
discolour over time.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The diaphragm of your SWIFT pool cleaner operates at the rate of approximately 360 beats per minute. If
your SWIFT operates daily for 8 hours, the diaphragm will open and close over 60 million times in a year!
The design has been perfected over many years and, properly cared for, the diaphragm will provide long
service. When it becomes worn or damaged and needs to be replaced, simply follow these easy steps:
Step 1 Unscrew the HANDNUT and remove it, together with the OUTER EXTENSION PIPE and the
THRUST WASHER. Place these items to one side.
Step 2 Hold the INNER EXTENSION PIPE (IEP) and gently pull it
towards you. This pulls the tabs out of their recess.
Step 3 Turn the INNER EXTENSION PIPE so the tabs line up with the holes in the IEP LOCATOR.
Do not remove the INNER EXTENSION PIPE from the BODY.

10
Step 4 Push the INNER EXTENSION PIPE away from you, so the tabs go through the holes in the
IEP LOCATOR.
Step 5 Grasp the other end of the DIAPHRAGM (the end furthest away from the INNER
EXTENSION PIPE) and pull it away from the Orbit BODY. The DIAPHRAGM will fall clear of
the BODY.
Step 6 Twist the DIAPHRAGM, removing it from the INNER EXTENSION PIPE.
Step 7 Remove the RETAINING RING from the DIAPHRAGM. Discard the used diaphragm.

11
(a) Fit the RETAINING RING onto the new
DIAPHRAGM.
(b) Push the DIAPHRAGM onto the INNER
EXTENSION PIPE. Make sure it is correctly
located and fully engaged.
(c) Pull the INNER EXTENSION PIPE up through
the BODY, positioning the tabs so they can be
pulled through the holes in the IEP LOCATOR.
(d) Gently turn the INNER EXTENSION PIPE so the
tabs are aligned with the recesses in the IEP
LOCATOR. Release the INNER EXTENSION
PIPE.
(e) Check that the DIAPHRAGM is correctly
located. If it has become twisted during
installation, simply untwist by slightly turning
the open end of the DIAPHRAGM.
(f) Slide the THRUST WASHER over the INNER
EXTENSION PIPE. The at side (widest
diameter) of the THRUST WASHER should be
face down.
(g) Place the OUTER EXTENSION PIPE over the
INNER EXTENSION PIPE.
(h) Screw the HANDNUT into place, to lock the
assembly. Be careful not to over-tighten the
Handnut.
(i) Check that the OUTER EXTENSION PIPE
swivels freely.
