CONGRATULATIONS !
You have just become the owner of the latest and
most sophisticated automatic pool cleaners.
The cleaner is powered by your pool’s filtration sys-
tem and is designed to operate with most existing
systems. Its performance will therefore depend on
how powerful your pump is.
INSTALLING THE CLEANER
Step 1.
Clean or back-wash your filter and clean
your pre-filter basket before installing the cleaner.
Clean your system regularly as the characteristics
of your installation dictate.
Step 2.
Check the chemical properties of your
water. Make sure that the chemical balance is cor-
rect and that the pool is free of algae. Check the
pool and remove anything that might plug the suc-
tion port of your cleaner, in particular large clumps
of leaves.
Step 3.
There are nine (9) 1,2 m connecting hoses
and a 1,2 m main hose with a grey end. Connect
the hose sections together. Insert the male end
of one hose firmly into the female end of another
hose and turn (see. figure 1). Depending on the
shape and size of your pool, you may not need all
the hoses. But you must always connect the main
hose, or the cleaner will not work properly. The
hose lengths need not be forced home. but must be
tight enough to prevent air leaks. Wetting the ends
of the hoses will make it easier to join them.
Step 4.
From the skimmer. the complete hose
should reach the farthest part of the pool, with two
sections to spare for depth. This extra length is
essential to the proper operation of the cleaner.
If your complete hose is not long enough, you will
have to buy extra lengths from your dealer. After
connecting the correct length of hose. insert the leaf
trap and the AEV096 vacuum gauge between the
length of hose connected to the skimmer and the
next length. The vacuum gauge is used to measure
the water flow when the cleaner is started up (see
figure 2).
Step 5.
Check that the rear flap adjustment knob is
in fact set to II, the intermediate position (see figure
3). Immerse the cleaner in the water to drive out all
trapped air. When al air has been eliminated, the
main hose can be connected. The main hose has
a grey end and a red sticker that must be removed.
Connect the grey end to the cleaner (as shown in
figure 4) and immerse the hose to drive out the air
as for a manual cleaning.
Do not use the return line/inlet water to «sink» the
hose, as this will force air into the cleaner head, and
possibly cause performance problems.
Step 6.
With the filtration system off, connect the
hose to the skimmer as shown in figures 5, 6. and
7. Figure 5 shows the connection of the hose to
a skimmer with a bottom suction port, using the
AEXV093BP adapter cone. Figure 6 shows the
connection to a port on the side or back, for which
the AEXV151 adapter cone, available from your
dealer, must be used. The hose may be connected
through either the slit or the cover of the skim-
mer. Figure 7 shows the connection of the hose
to a skimmer with a direct suction port in the pool.
The AEXV093BP adapter cone is connected to
the connector supplied with your skimmer for the
manual cleaner. The prefilter cover supplied with
the skimmer must also be used for the cleaner to
work property. If the cover does not close tight, get
in touch with your dealer to see if another acces-
sory is needed.
Step 7.
Start up the filtration system. Check the
level on the AEV096 vacuum gauge (see figure
2 for its installation). It measures the water flow
created by your pool’s filtration system and should
indicate a vacuum of at least 100 mm (4’’). The
vacuum should be about 25 mm (1’’) per length of
hose used. For example, if you use ten (10) lengths
of hose, you will adjust the water flow in the cleaner
so that the vacuum gauge indicates a vacuum of
250 mm (10’’), with a tolerance of plus or minus 25
mm (1’’). This is a rough value, and a slightly higher
or lower reading is perfectly acceptable.

Coiling the hose
may impair
the operation of the cleaner.
The warranty does not cover
problems caused by coiled
hoses. Always stow the
lengths straight.
Remark
: The cleaner should
not be used for the pool’s first Spring-cleaning;
unless the conditions stated in steps 1 and 2
we met. Whenever your pool is clogged with
an unusually large amount of debris, take the
necessary steps to restore its ‘pre-installation’
appearance.
Always
carry the cleaner by its handle. Never
by the hose.
