4.2 INSTALLATION

Assemble the head: illustration 2.2

Assemble the disc on the robot: first push the front of the robot head into the neck of the disc, then slowly pass the rest of the disc around it.

4.3 PREPARATION

Pool preparation: illustration 2.1

Remove dirt manually and make sure the pool and pump filter is clean. Point the discharge nozzles downward to ensure complete cleaning coverage. Turn off the bottom drain as shown in the illustration.

Hose Assembly: illustration 2.3 & 2.4

Fit and turn each section of hose

Assemble a sufficient number of hoses to reach the farthest part of the pool, then add another 1 section of hose. Place the hose counterweight at the end of the first section of hose, about 1 meter from the cleaner. Place the second counterweight on top of the first, it will need to be adjusted later.

Installation of the flow control valve: illustration 2.4 & 2.5

Connect the hose plug to the flow control valve. Attach the flow control valve to the flexible adapter. The flow control valve is used to adjust the flow rate so that the pump and the robot work properly. Turning the valve towards the "--" reduces the robot suction flow rate, without affecting the pump's suction flow rate.

Installation of the flow tester valve: illustration 2.4 & 2.5

Connect the female connector of the hose to the flow tester valve. Switch on the filtering system and fill the hose with water by placing the hose in front of a discharge nozzle until it is completely filled. Stop the pump and make sure the hose is kept submerged. The flow tester valve allows you to check the value of the robot suction flow rate.

4.4 FIRST USE

WARNING! Read the «SAFETY INSTRUCTION» section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheading therein before using this product.

Flow test: illustration 2.6 & 2.7

Before installing the robot head, test and adjust the flow rate for optimal robot operation.

Be sure to keep the hose submerged. Insert the flow control valve with the hose adapter into a pressure nozzle (Fig. 2.6a) or into the suction system of the skimmer (Fig. 2.6b) and switch on the pump. Check that the indicator on the tester is set to setting No. 3. To adjust the setting, turn the valve towards "+" to increase the robot suction flow or towards "-" to decrease the robot suction flow. (Figure 2.7)

If you encounter difficulties in reaching level 3 on the tester by adjusting the valve, you can try the following solutions, depending on your installation:

• If your installation has only one suction nozzle, check that the pump of your installation has a power between 250 and 750W .
• If the robot is connected to a suction nozzle and a skimmer is running on your pool, reduce the flow of the skimmer in order to increase the robot's suction flow.
• If the robot is connected to the skimmer and one or more suction nozzles are active on your system, reduce the flow rate of the nozzles in order to increase the robot suction flow rate.

Installation of the pool cleaner: illustration 3.1 to 3.3

Once the flow rate has been adjusted, stop the pump. While keeping the hose submerged, remove the flow tester and replace it with the robot head. Fit the anti-locking wheel on the end of the last section of hose, about 10cm from the robot head. The anti-locking wheel pivots on the hose to help the robot go around steps and other obstacles in the pool.

4.5 OPERATION

Starting the pool cleaner: illustration 4.1 & 4.2

Switch on the filtering system and fill the hose with water by placing the hose in front of a discharge nozzle until it is completely filled. When no more air bubbles escape from the robot, turn off the filtering system and connect the hose to the suction nozzle. Be sure to keep the hose submerged. Place the robot at the bottom of the pool. Turn on the filtration system to start cleaning.

Optimization of performance

The robot follows the activation cycles of the pool filtering pump, sucking and cleaning the entire pool surface in random movements. The robot's coverage rate depends on the shape of the pool, the suction rate and the position of the counterweights to balance the robot. Adjustments may be necessary in some pools to optimize the coverage rate. A minimum cycle of 2 hours is recommended for good pool coverage.

Balance of the hose: illustration 4.2 to 4.5

A properly balanced hose should form a 45^ angle between the robot and the bottom of the pool. Place the first weight about 1m from the robot head (at the end of the first hose) and place the second weight on top, adjust it manually to obtain an optimal result.

Operation safety warnings:

• Check the product for damage before each use.
• The swimming pool must be equipped with a self-priming filter unit with a complete system flow rate of 6.5 ~m^3 / h to 10 ~m^3 / h the power of the filtration pump must be 0.5 HP or 375 watt.
• The robot will ideally operate in water of about 20^ , below this temperature the efficiency of the robot may be reduced.
• Do not wait until your pool is very dirty and full of algae before using the robot: you risk clogging the filtering system very quickly.
• Do not allow too much dirt to be dragged to the bottom of the pool, as this can clog the diaphragm of the appliance.
• Avoid obstacles that could block the appliance.
• In order not to damage the hose, never leave the hose in full sunlight; leave it in water or under a cool shelter
• In order to avoid accidents relating to suction, the nozzles in the suction line must be equipped with a safety valve. Contact your pool professional for more information.
• Clean and empty: the skimmer, pump and pool baskets before installing the robot and at regular intervals afterwards.
• Always disconnect the robot cleaner before cleaning the pool filter or reversing the flow. After cleaning, leave the filtering system running for at least 5 minutes before reconnecting the cleaning robot.
• Remove the robot from the pool before any chemical treatment or shock treatment. Wait at least 4 hours after shock chlorination before reinstalling the cleaner.

4.6 AFTER USE

Switch the product off. Check, clean and store the product as described below.

5. TRANSPORTATION

Transporting the machine may require that you meet certain requirements specific to your country. Please make sure you comply with them by contacting the authorities of your country. Always switch the product off. Ensure temperature during transportation is never beyond the range indicated in storage section. Protect the product from any heavy impact or strong vibrations which may occur during transportation in vehicles. Secure the product to prevent it from slipping or falling over.

6. WINTERING & STORAGE

Store the machine : Illustration 6.1

Only store the machine in a clean, dry, ventilated place with a temperature range of 4^ to 24^ . Cover it in order to provide added protection. We recommend using the original package for storage or covering the product with a suitable cloth or enclosure to protect it against dust.

Never coil the hose. If the hose is tangled or twisted, uncoil it using hot water and then return it to its original shape. The pool coverage rate will be reduced if the hose is twisted or tangled. Store the disc and place it on a flat surface to prevent it from deforming.

WARNING ! To avoid damaging the hose, never leave it in direct sunlight; leave it in water or under a temperate shelter.

7. MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Always make sure to disconnect the robot cleaner from the suction nozzles of the pool or skimmer before cleaning or purging the pool filter.

Cleaning the product: Illustration 5.1

Clean the skimmer and pump baskets. After cleaning, let the filtering system run without the cleaning robot for at least five minutes before reconnecting the cleaning robot.

WARNING ! To avoid danger of injury, turn off the cleaner suction pump before performing this step

Checking the diaphragm: Illustration 5.1 to 5.9

If the robot stops, stop the suction pump and remove the cleaner from the pool. Check that the diaphragm is not blocked. Check that the diaphragm is not damaged (torn) and that its state of wear is not too advanced if this is the case, clean or replace it.

	Ensure that hose is straight and untangled.	-
Cleaner doesn't climb	Ensure the pool water is properly balanced. For example, high pH and/or lack of chlorine, makes the walls very slippery.	-
	Check float arm is in the correct position. Note: In pools with a sharp 90 degree wall-to-floor it is unreasonable to expect the cleaner to climb the walls.
	Increase the suction using the speed controller.
Cleaner spend too much time on the walls and/or climbs out of the water.	Decrease the suction using the speed controller.	-
	Adjust the hose weight provided towards the cleaner head.	-
Cleaner sticks in corner under ladders, on lights or on pool steps.	Ensure that the correct amount of hose is installed.	-
	Ensure that all the returns are directing waterflow towards the floor of the pool, adjusting the eyeballs, or using water diverters available at your local pool shop. Excess water movement on the water surface will hold or push the hose.
