FLOTATION
Your.cleaner.is.a.universal.pool.cleaner.which.performs.under.varying.chemical.
and.temperature.conditions.in.your.pool...Your.cleaner.offers.the.best.possible.
performance. when. it. is. virtually. weightless. in. your. pool.. . Therefore,. careful.
balancing.of.its.weight.is.important.for.proper.operation..Generally,.a.new.cleaner.
is.universally.balanced.when.used.for.the.first.time.and.additional.Flotation.(Fig..
10a-b).is.not.required.on.start-up.
In.some.instances.the.pool.environment.(e.g..temperature,.chemicals,.water,.etc.).
may. offset. your. cleaner’s. natural. buoyancy.. . Therefore,. flotation. devices. (Fig..
10a-b).have.been.included.in.the.packaging.with.your.new.cleaner.to.assist.its.
buoyancy.

Adding Flotation on Bottom Lid Assembly (Fig. 11a-b):
1.. Remove.the.Filter.Bag...Then.place.the.“H”-Float.(Fig..10a),.foam.
side. down,. against. the. inside. base. of. the. Bottom. Lid. Assembly.
(Fig.. 11a).. . Secure. the. “H”-Float. with. the. 2. screws. provided. by.
fastening.them.in.from.the.outside.of.(from.under).the.Bottom.Lid.
Assembly...This.should.provide.adequate.buoyancy.
2.. Should. your. cleaner. require. more. Flotation,. then. add. the. 2.
remaining.Side.Pocket.Floats.(Fig..10b),.1.at.a.time.until.adequate.
buoyancy.is.achieved...Pocket.Floats.do.not.require.any.screws.or.
glue...Simply.place.them.into.the.open.rectangular.areas. next to .
the.Debris.Intake.Port.Flaps.(Fig..11b).

IMPORTANT: Careful. removal. of. air. trapped. in. the. housing. is. critical..
Each. time. you. place. your. cleaner. in. the. pool. use. the. Handle. (while.
submersed).to.turn.it.upside.down.and.gently.rock.it.back.and.forth.to.
allow.any.possible.trapped.air.to.escape.(See.Page.6,.#2)!
IMPORTANT: Temperature and chemical composition changes can greatly affect the buoyancy of your cleaner!
Therefore, if you have previously installed Flotation devices in your cleaner to assist its buoyancy, it may be
necessary to remove the devices one-by-one until proper buoyancy is restored!
