Changing Top and Bottom Operation
The Top/Bottom Switch (Part P, p age 4) is set to “AU T O” at the
f a c t o ry. The Phantom Cleaner will vacuum the pool bottom and
sides 2/3 of its cycle and skim the surface 1/3 of its cycle
a u t o m at i c a l ly.
The cleaner can be easily adjusted to concentrate on the areas
of the pool with the most debris.
• To ONLY clean the bottom and sides of the pool,
m ove the switch to the right “ B OT ” .
• To ONLY skim the pool surfa c e , m ove the switch
to the left “ T O P ” .

Adjusting Sweep Hose Po w e r
• In most pools it will not be necessary to adjust the
Sweep Hose power.
• O b s e rve the Phantom cleaner operating in the pool.
The Sweep Hose should move in a slow, u n d u l ating
(snake-like) motion.
•
Sweep Hose Not Mov i n g :
If the Sweep Hose does not
move side-to-side and just drags behind the cleaner, c h e c k
the Sweep Hose for holes. Check for debris behind the
adjustment knob or in the jet-end of the Sweep Hose.
•
Sweep Hose Moves Slowly Or Not At All: Turn the
adjustment knob counter- cl o c k w i s e
to increase Sweep
Hose power.
•
Sweep Hose Frequently Sprays Out Of The Po o l :
Turn the adjustment knob cl o c k w i s e
to reduce Sweep
Hose power.
N o t e :
Do
N OT
turn the Sweep Hose completely off .
This can cause the hose to tangle or knot.
Phantom Cleaner Adjustments
Warning – Risk of Injury
Turn the Booster Pump and Filtration Pump OFF before
making adjustments to the cl e a n e r. Always make
adjustments outside of the pool. Failure to do so may
cause injury.
Changing Spin-Out Frequency
• In most pools it will not be necessary to change the Spin-Out
f r e q u e n c y.
• The cleaner comes with a 3-prong Spin-Out cam installed,
which makes the Phantom cleaner Spin-Out once every
5 0 - s e c o n d s . This is ap p r o p r i ate for most pools.
• Pools that are small or have many sharp corners or other
obstacles may benefit from more frequent Spin-Outs. F o r
such pools, open the Cam Cap and replace the 3-prong cam
with the 5-prong 30 second cam.
• Pools that are very large and/or have very few obstacles may
benefit from less frequent Spin-Outs. For such pools, o p e n
the Cam Cap and replace the 3-prong cam with the 2-prong
75-second cam.
• The goal is to maximize cleaning time and minimize the
amount of time spinning out.
• If the cleaner is spending too much time at an obstacle
waiting for a Spin-Out, use a cam with more prongs for more
frequent Spin-Outs.
• If the cleaner rarely needs to Spin-Out near an obstacle then
a cam with fewer prongs and less frequent Spin-Outs will
increase effective cleaning time.
• If the cleaner has a tendency to stay in the deep end (not
cleaning the shallow end suff i c i e n t ly ) , in pools with a
p a r t i c u l a r ly steep or long slopes between the deep and
shallow ends, we recommend using a cam with fewer
p r o n g s , it will promote longer straight runs.
Changing Spin-Out Cam
1 .
Turn the Cam Cap counter clockwise to open.
2 .
Remove the Spin-Out Cam.
3 .
Place the desired Cam in place over the stem.
4 .
Place unused Cams in A c c e s s o ry Bag and store in a safe
place with the Owner’s Guide.
5 .
Close the Cam Cap .
Adjusting Spin-Out Duration
Each Cam has a “ S u m m e r ” side and a “ W i n t e r ” side (see Sun &
S n o w flake logos on each Cam). The Summer side is usually
p r e f e r r e d . If the pool water is cold (below 60 degrees F), t h e
Pressure Hose becomes stiffer and may prevent the Cleaner
from Spinning-Out enough to escape from obstacles. T h e
“ W i n t e r ” Cam side will provide longer Spin-Outs so the Cleaner
o p e r ates better in cold wat e r.
1 .
Turn the Cam Cap to open
2 .
Remove the Cam, turn it over and replace the Cam so the
desired (Sun or Snowflake) side is face-up.
•
If the cleaner is making more than three attempts to escap e
from an obstacle, use the “ W i n t e r ” s i d e .
•
If the cleaner regularly spins-out more than three-quarters
of a turn, use the “ S u m m e r ” s i d e .
