5.2 Connecting the pool robot to the switch box:

Unscrew the protective cap of the cable connection on the switch box and connect the cable connection of the pool robot (Fig. 3.1). Then tighten this clockwise (Fig. 3.2). Please make sure that you unscrew the cable connection and put the protective cap back on the connection when dismantling or wintering. The device must then be stored in a dry and frost-free place.

5.3 Starting the device:

Carefully and slowly lower the cleaner into the pool using the handle. Make sure that the cleaner is always inserted with its underside facing the pool wall and that it is also removed this way subsequently.

Plug in the mains cable of the switch box. The LED indicator of the currently selected mode lights up. It is now possible to choose between three operating modes, depending on the pool size and degree of contamination.
