HOW TO ADJUST YOUR RETURN LINE WATER FLOW
The water flow from your return line can push the Sprinta’s hose and
cause the Sprinta to steer away from where the return line is located,
or to remain in one section of the pool. If adjustments to the existing
eyeball return do not allow you to stop the directional flow from
influencing the movement of the Sprinta, you should correct this by
purchasing the optional eyeball diverter available from your Sprinta
dealer.
TO INSTALL THE EYEBALL DIVERTER
1. Ensure your pool pump is off Remove the original eyeball diverter from
the return line at the pool by unscrewing the lock ring.
2. Replace with the Sprinta eyeball diverter.
3. Make sure the opening of the eyeball diverter points to the side, at
a ‘9 o’clock position’.
Usually, directing the return line water flow
against the side of the pool works best.
However, you may want to try pointing the flow
downward or in different positions to see which
works best in your pool.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the
pool pump on. The Sprinta should begin
moving across the pool floor vacuuming up
debris in its path.
If the Sprinta tracks in a repetitive pattern:
• Check the return line water flow and redirect as necessary with a return
line diverter (See “HOW TO ADJUST YOUR RETURN LINE WATER FLOW”)
• Check the Sprinta’s hose to ensure it has not become bent or kinked.
(Do not coil the hose. It will retain the coil shape and hinder the
cleaning coverage.) One way to check for kinks in your hose is to
disconnect each hose section and lay them flat on your pool surface
and look down the length of each hose. The hose should be perfectly
straight and float flat. If bends or kinks are present in a sectional hose,
replace those hose sections. The very best performance can only be
obtained using a Kreepy Krauly sectional hose.
• If your Sprinta continues to track in a repetitive pattern rotate the hose
from the skimmer box 90 to 180 degrees. This will help correct any
repetitive patterns.
• Check that correct length of hose has been used (See Step 3 for more
information)
MAINTENANCE
The Sprinta requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect your Sprinta
from time to time to make sure that:
1. The turbine is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
2. The feet are not excessively worn. (When the traction pads on the
bottom have worn down, it is time for replacement).
3. Manually open and close the Auto Skim valve or Mini Skim II Valve to
flush away accumulated dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
We recommend that you leave the Sprinta in your pool, except during
chemical shock treatments. When swimming it is easy to unplug
the Sprinta and pull it to one side. When storing the Sprinta, do not
coil the hose. It is best to lay the hose out flat in an area protected
from direct sunlight. Dismantle sectional hose for storage. To ensure
optimum performance from your Sprinta, we recommend the use of
only genuine Kreepy Krauly sectional hose.
WARNING
Do not use a one piece manual vacuuming type hose. These type of
hoses coil and restrict water flow and movement which will hamper
the performance of your new Sprinta. We only recommend the use
of Kreepy Krauly or Klever Kleena sectional hose.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Because of the individual characteristics of your pool, some additional
adjustments may be required to get the best performance from your
Sprinta.
Check these common causes of cleaner problems:
Is filter clean?
Clean filter
Is pump strainer basket clean?
Clean basket
Is debris blocking the bottom intake of the Sprinta?
Remove debris (see figure 7)
Are there any leaks in the hose?
Replace leaky section
Is automatic regulator valve free of debris?
Clean valve
Is the main drain closed?
Close main drain valve
If the Sprinta is not moving.
• Check to ensure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed,
except for the skimmer box or suction line to which the Sprinta is
attached.
• Check for debris in the filter or pump basket.
• Check for debris in the Sprinta’s turbine. Debris may prevent the
turbine moving or restrict flow.
• Pool pump and filter system may be too small. Consult your pool
professional.
Figure 6
Optional Diverter
Please only use Genuine Sprinta Parts to
service and maintain your Sprinta.
The use of non genuine parts will impair
your Sprintas performance and will void
your warranty.
EYEBALL DIVERTER (Optional Extra)
ATTENTION POOL BLANKET OWNERS
When a Pool Blanket is in use, carefully monitor your chlorine or salt
water chlorinator settings to avoid over chlorinating your pool which may
damage your Sprinta and void your Warranty.
The Pool Blanket prevents chlorine evaporating reducing the need to add
more chlorine. If you have a salt water chlorinator remember to lower the
amount of chlorine produced when the pool blanket is in use.
If you have any questions please call our Customer Service department
on 1800 777 255 or your local pool shop professional.

STEP 1 WHAT TO DO BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR SPRINTA
Before assembling and installing your Sprinta your pool should be clean and
algae-free so as not to inhibit the cleaner’s traction. If necessary, make the following
preparations before proceeding:
1. Chemically balance the pool water.
2. Brush pool and let the debris settle.
3. Hand vacuum thoroughly.
4. Clean pump strainer basket and skimmer basket.
5. Backwash Filter
6. Turn pool pump off.

HOW MANY HOSE SECTIONS DO I NEED?
IMPORTANT: The pump must be on when you check the hose
length. The hose contracts when the pump is operating and will
look longer than when the pump is off.
Position the Sprinta at the far end of the pool from the skimmer
box. It is easy to position the Sprinta in the pool by moving it
about with your pool brush.
The Sprinta’s hose should ONLY be long enough to
reach to the end of the furtherest corner of the pool.
Too much hose will hamper your Sprintas movement.
Save any spare hose sections for use as future replacements.
TWIN VALVE AUTOSKIM The unique
automatic “Autoskim” Skimmer valve and
vacuum plate combination ensures full
surface skimming of all floating leaves
and debris. “Autoskim” is available as an
optional extra with the Klever Kleena Sprinta.
AUTOSKIM INSTALLATION
A Kreepy Krauly Auto Skim (black spring) Combination
Vac/Plate Skim Valve is recommended for superior
performance and continued maximum surface
skimming. Pools with high flow pump and filter systems
are recommended to use a Kreepy Krauly Auto Skim
(black spring) combination Vac/Plate Skim Valve.
