SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
6. With hose clamp (6), fasten the
end of hose D (11) to the top
connection of cleaner. A small
coin can be used to tighten the
hose clamp. See Fig. 6.
7. Place auto cleaner into the water.
Fill up the hose assembly with
water by submerging the hose
into the water to remove all of the
entrapped air from the hose.
8. Connect hose B (9) from the hose assembly to the hose A (8) which
was already installed in step 4. See Fig. 7.
IMPORTANT: Run the filter pump for 10-15 minutes before connecting
the auto cleaner to the water return connector.
9. Set up the Filter Pump following the Filter Pump owner's manual. The
auto cleaner is now ready to use.
1. The filter pump is an airtight system. In a counter-clockwise motion turn
the top air release valve 1 – 2 turns to open it.
2. When water starts flowing out of the air release valve hole, screw in the
air release valve back into the filter housing cover. Do not over tighten
the valve.
3. Connect the filter pump to the power
outlet and turn ON the pump.
4. Hold the auto cleaner upside down
below the water surface to jet out
the water. See Fig. 8. This will
evacuate all the air in the hose
and auto cleaner, so the cleaner
will sink to the bottom and keep
the pool clean.

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.
