INSTALLING YOUR POOL CLEANER 

WHEN CONNECTING TO A DEDICATED VACUUM LINE IN THE POOL 

Some pools are equipped with a dedicated vacuum line, which allows the cleaner to be connected to this line. In 

such cases, the 

Flow Control Valve 

should 

NOT BE USED. 

To connect to the dedicated vacuum line: 

1. Make sure the pool pump is turned 

OFF.

2. Remove all the air from the pool cleaner and hose (see tip on page 7). This may require you to turn the pool pump

ON. 

If so, make sure it is turned 

OFF 

before going to the next step.

3. Open the spring-loaded flap on the vacuum line wall fitting and insert the male (smaller) open end of the hose.

Ensure it is well secured.

4. If more or less flow is required, adjust valves at pool pad as needed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION: 

When using a dedicated vacuum line, make sure it is fitted with a safety vacuum 

lock.  This  will  help  prevent  suction  entrapment  accidents.  Contact  your  pool  builder  or  retail  pool 

professional for details. 

FINE TUNING THE CLEANER 

Your 

Pool  Cleaner 

is  the  only  suction  pool  cleaner  which  is  programmable  -  allowing  you  to  optimize  its 

per­formance to meet the needs of your specific pool. 

Your 

Pool  Cleaner 

comes  with  standard  setting,  once  you  have  it  in  the  pool  you  need  to  adjust  the  wheel 

Revolutions  Per  Minute  (RPM).  The  optimal  RPM  for  your 

Pool  Cleaner 

should  be  between  11  and  14. 

Note:  Pool Cleaner 

will still clean you pool at lower RPM, but it may struggle to move around corners, steps etc. 

1. While your 

Compass Cleaner 

is running, bring it up to just beneath the surface of the pool water.

Note: 

You need to keep the cleaner below the surface of the water or it will suck air.  For safety sake, it is best to do 

this step at the shallow end of the pool. The pump must be operating so the pool cleaner is running.

Safety reminder: 

Keep all body parts away from the suction port.

2. Users can choose the clean area  (ground area or  pool wall area) according  to  their own  needs  (see

Figure 7).
