Section 2 – Dolphin Operation

Part 1 – Preparing the Dolphin pool cleaner for use

A. Assemble the Caddy kit – you will find the instructions in a separate document

B. Adjusting the handle float angle

The Handle angle must be adjusted to determine the speed that the Dolphin advances along the water-line.

1. Press the latch down and hold in position.
2. Move the handle to the required position and release the latch to lock the Handle in place.

C. Laying out the cable

Unwind minimal required cable to cover the entire pool size, straight the cable along the pool side. Make sure there are no twists or kinks.

3 Meters 10 feet Optional Swivel

⚠️ Use only the original supplied power supply unit.
The power supply unit is splash proof – do not immerse it in water.
⚠️ Unplug the power supply unit before any servicing activity.
Do not plug the power supply unit in before placing the pool cleaner in the water.
Ensure the mains outlet is protected by a ground fault interrupter (GFI) or an earth leakage interrupter (ELI).

Part 2 - Into the water

Inserting the Dolphin into the pool.

Place your Dolphin into the pool and release it.

Turning the Dolphin ON

Plug the floating cable from the 1.

Dolphin into the power supply unit.

Plug the electrical cable from the power 2. supply unit into the mains.

Floating cable

Press on the ON/OFF switch. 3.

The Dolphin will now start to work.4.

Power Supply On/Off switch

Note: If your model includes the remote control unit, please refer to the included instruction leaflet.

Important: DO NOT enter the swimming pool while the pool cleaner is working.

Part 3 - Taking the Dolphin out of the water

⚠️ Unplug power supply before any servicing activity.

If the Dolphin has not finished its cycle, turn off the power 1. supply unit and unplug the mains.

Pull the floating cable gently until the Dolphin has risen to 2. the surface, then lift by the handle.

Important: Do NOT lift the Dolphin from the water by its cable.

Section 3 - Routine Maintenance Part 1 - Extracting and cleaning the filter elements

⚠️ Unplug power supply before any servicing activity.

Reassemble Insert the locating tabs at the bottom of the filter element into their groves on the base frame, then close the "S" clip.

Reinstall the filters according to the diagram DO NOT FORCE THE FILTERS INTO PLACE.

Octagonal end fitting

Important: Where applicable, you must reset the full filter bag indicator on the power supply unit.

Recommendation: Rinse all brushes with clean water after each cleaning cycle.

Part 2 - Dismantling and cleaning the impeller

Unplug power supply before any servicing activity.

Dismantle the impeller cover and clean around the impeller housing, then reassemble.

Part 3 - Storage instructions

Coil the cable and store in dry cool area – preferably on the Caddy if available.

✗ Do NOT store the Dolphin exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Do NOT store the Dolphin exposed to excessive heat.
✗ Do NOT store the Dolphin exposed to frost.

Helpful hints for better scanning of your pool

The floats can be moved side-ways along the handle groove housings.

To Move the floats in their handle housing grooves

Push float outwards.1.

To move the floats back to their original 2. position, while pressing the release button on the base of the float, push the float back.

Release Button

There are three possible float configurations:

Floats default position If turns while scanning less than 90^ , pull out left float.

If turns while scanning more than 90^ , pull out right float.

Troubleshooting Guide

Before contacting your Dolphin distributor please read through this guide.

The pool water condition must be within the following parameters:

PH: 7.0 – 7.4 Salt: Max 5,000 ppm
Temperature: 12°C(54°F) to 32°C(90°F) Chlorine: Max 2 ppm

Symptom Solution
Cable twisting or cable coils up Check for any obstruction in the pool	Change handle diagonal position after each use
	Remove excess cable from the pool
	Make sure filter cartridge is clean
	Straighten cable and lay it in the sun periodically
Dolphin is moving in circles or does not reach all pool areas or the Dolphin is not traveling sideways on walls	Check for foreign objects in moving parts
	Make sure filter cartridge is clean and well mounted and that the filter doors are closed
	Make sure that there is enough cable laid out to cover the whole pool
	Before using the Dolphin at the beginning of the season you should brush any algae from the floor and walls of the pool
	Adjust the diagonal angle of the handle
Dolphin does not climb walls Make sure the filter cartridge is clean	If using the Dolphin at the beginning of the season, use the spring cartridge
	Check if brushes are suitable for pool coating and replace them if necessary
	Check if brushes are worn and replace them if necessary
	Make sure the impeller area is clean
	When applicable: Check that the RCU is set for climbing
Dolphin not sinking Make sure the Wonder brushes or the combined brushes are soaked in water
Dolphin disengaging from wall at water line If Dolphin climbs too high consult your Dolphin distributor
RCU is not working Check if the batteries need replacing
Motor is not working	Check if the impeller is blocked
	Check if the drive system is blocked
	Electrical problem (power supply), check power source If power source is in order, please contact your Dolphin distributor
