Please read, understand, and follow all instructions carefully before
installing and using this product.
General
• The Auto Cleaner must be connected to a filter pump with a flow
rate between 1600 - 3500 gallons/hour (6056 - 13248 liters/hour).
• The cleaning performance depends on the filter pump flow rate,
the higher the flow rate the better the performance.
• First assemble your filter pump and then set up the auto cleaner.
• If using a sand filter, ensure the sand media is clean by
backwashing it first. Run the filter pump for 10-15 minutes before
connecting the auto cleaner to the water return connector.
• The auto cleaner will not be operated if the filter pump is not
operating.

TROUBLE SOLUTION
• Ensure the filter pump is operating. Lift the auto cleaner
out of the water and check if water is flowing out from
either end of the device.
• Tighten each hose section securely, and connect the
hose to the water return connector, see “Setup”
section. If you are not sure which return connector is,
try connecting the auto cleaner to each pool outlet until
water is flowing out of either end of the device.
• Lift the auto cleaner out of the wrinkled area, and make
sure the pool floor is as smooth as possible.
• Contact Intex Service Center.
• Check and clean the debris net.
• Clean or replace the filter pump cartridge.
• If using a sand filter, ensure the sand media is clean
by backwashing it. See sand filter owner’s manual.
• If you are still not satisfied with the speed, a higher flow
rate filter pump is recommended.
• Release the air from the auto cleaner by following the
“Setup” instructions.
• Pool water too dirty. Ensure the pool water chemistry
is balanced. If the pool water is green, brown or black,
adjust the chlorine and pH level. See pool owner’s
manual.
• Check if the pump flow rate is within the specified
range, if the flow rate is more than 3500 gal/h, change
pump with lower flow rate.
• Remove the brushes from the underside and put the
Auto Cleaner back into the pool, see “Setup” section.
• Clean all the debris from the Auto Cleaner after
operating for 2-3 hours continuously.
If you continue to experience difficulty, please contact our Consumer Service
Department for assistance. See separate “Authorized Service Centers” sheet.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY
Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves
inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read
and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and
instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings,
instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of
water recreation, but do not cover all risks and or dangers.
For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following
general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally
recognized Safety Organizations:
• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed
as a “lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and
around the pool.
• Learn to swim.
• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool
hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors,
barriers, etc.
• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an
emergency.
• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any
water activity.
• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
