3. Cleaner Assembly
Place the mat “E” under the cleaner support “A” and make sure the ns are
pointing upwards. Start by inserting the inner edge of the mat into the front
groove of the foot pad “B”. Stretch and insert the mat all around the groove.
The mat should be secured in the groove and free to rotate on the foot pad.
Insert the diaphragm chamber “C” into the support “A”. Align the side pins on
diaphragm chamber with the notches on the support “A”, and continue to in-
sert the chamber into the chamber of the support. Follow the arrow direction of
marking “ ” to turn the chamber until it stops.
Place the top ring “D” on a at surface with its marking “TOP” facing upward.
Insert either end of hose “K“ into the central hole of the top ring until its hose
cuff is secured by the tabs. Insert the cuff on top of diaphragm chamber “C”
into the end (with top ring) of hose “K” as far as it can go. Insert the end of
swivel connector “F” as shown into the other end of hose “K” as far as it can go.

4. Hose Assembly
First, lay down all hose sections on the ground under sunlight for about
an hour to remove hose memory. Second, measure your pool to gure out
total length of hose needed for cleaner operation. Total length of hose after
assembly should be half to one hose section length longer than the length
measured from skimmer/dedicated suction line to the farthest point in the pool.
The hoses are connected by inserting the male cuff of one section of hose into
the female cuff of the next hose. To remove the entrapped air inside the hose,
connect each hose section under the water. Start by connecting male cuff of
one hose “M” to the female cuff of another hose “M”. Finish all hose “M”
and “L” connections in sequence as shown. Female cuff on “L” is to connect
to the pressure regular “J”. After nishing the hose assembly, immerse the
cleaner into the water. When bubbles stop coming from the cleaner, connect
the female cuff of the hose “M” to the swivel connector “F”.
5. Clearing The Diaphragm And Diaphragm Connection Tube
Follow arrow direction of marking “ “ to turn the diaphragm chamber to
release it from locking position. Remove it from the support “A”.

Unscrew the screw cap of diaphragm chamber “C” and take it out. Take out
the chamber extension tube and push the inside tube (diaphragm connection
tube) forward to expose diaphragm completely. Hold the inside diaphragm
connection tube (instead of diaphragm) to pull it out completely.
Pull out the diaphragm from the connection tube. Squeeze the diaphragm a
bit and then take out the retaining ring. Now you can clear the inside of the
diaphragm and connection tube.
Notice: Never put sharp objects inside diaphragm
which may damage it and then affect the cleaning
function.
After clearing the diaphragm and connection tube, reverse the steps to assemble
back the diaphragm chamber. Make sure the retaining ring is on the diaphragm.
Note: Please follow this procedure when and
if replacement of the membrane diaphragm is
required.

6. Cleaner Connection To Dedicated Suction Line
Turn OFF your pool
pump
If your skimmer is equipped with a dedicated
suction line, insert the vacuum plug “I” into the
vacuum hole rst and then attach the pressure
regulator “J” into the plug “I” by following the
arrow marking on pressure regulator bottom.
Finally, attach the hose “L” to this regulator as
shown.
7. Cleaner Connection To Skimmer
To connect your cleaner to your pool
skimmer, remove the basket and
vacuum plate and insert vacuum plug
“I” into the hole. Assemble the elbow
“H” on both ends of pressure regulator
“J”. Follow the arrow marking on the
pressure regulator to connect the
corresponding elbow to the vacuum
plug and then connect the other elbow
with hose “L” as shown.
Set your ltration system
to the vacuum setting. To
operate properly, the pump
must have a minimum power
of 0.75 HP and ltration
system ow should not be
less than 6m3h(100 lpm) .

NOTE: The pressure regulator should be below
the water level. If the pressure regulator is out of
the water level after following above instruction,
you may connect the pressure regulator directly
to the vacuum plug.

8. Pressure Regulator And Hose Weight Application
Turn on the pump
and relax as your
cleaner cleans your
pool.
Too much suction may cause the hose to
compress and restrict water ow, collapse or
the cleaner to stick to the pool bottom or wall.
Too little suction may cause the cleaner to
move slowly or not climb the wall.
Turn the pressure regulator clockwise to
increase the suction and vice versa to reduce
the suction as needed.
The best position of the cleaner in the water is when its mat “E” is resting at
on the pool oor (about 45 degree angle from the main body to the pool oor).
Adjust the hose weight “G” location on the hose to control hose buoyancy.
Place the hose weight after the female cuff of the second hose section “M”
from the cleaner. If the cleaner leans forward, you can move the hose weight
towards the cleaner. If the cleaner leans backward, you can move the hose
weight further away from the cleaner.

Note: Do not try to slide the hose weight “G” along
the hose as it could damage the hose or itself. Pull
the hose upward to detach it from the hose
9. Maintenance & Winterising
• Never coil the hoses.
• Never fold or roll the mat.
• Use clean water to rinse the cleaner after every use.
• Periodically inspect the cleaner parts and accessories. Replace damaged
parts before next use.
• For winterising, drain all water from the cleaner and accessories. Detach the
mat from the cleaner and store it at. Disconnect hose sections and store
them straight. Store the cleaner and all accessories in a place away from
direct sun light.

10. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Solution
Cleaner does not move
or moves slowly
Check if any air bubbles come from the pool re-
turn line and appear in the pump. Consult a pool
professional on how to remove the air.
Check if any air bubbles come from the hose
connections and ttings. Tighten the connections
and ttings again. Make sure all assemblies are
connected correctly.
Check if power of the pump is too weak. Check
with pump dealer.
Check if the pump basket, skimmer basket and
pool lter are full. Clean them if necessary.
Check if diaphragm is clogged or damaged.
Clean it or replace it if necessary.
Make sure the main drain is closed.
Check if the pressure regulator is over releasing
the water ow. Turn the pressure regulator clock-
wise to increase the water ow (suction)
Cleaner does not climb
the wall
Turn the pressure regulator clockwise to increase
the water ow (suction).
Check if the hose weight is at the right position.
Adjust its location as instructed in manual if nec-
essary.
Check if the mat is damaged. Replace with a
new one if necessary.
NOTE: Cleaner may not climb soft walls in some
vinyl pools or pools with safety ledges.
Cleaner’s movement
does not cover entire
pool
Make sure the hoses are not kinked or coiled.
Lay the hoses under sunlight to straighten the
hoses.
Make sure the hose total length is enough per
