Time Wheel Rotations
1. Turn on the pool filter pump.
2. Obtain a stopwatch or timer.
3. Leaving the pump on and water flowing through the
cleaner, bring the cleaner to the surface of the water
and hold it fully submerged just below the water line.
4. Locate the wheel speed indicator on the
rear right wheel (Figure 6).
5. Note how many seconds it takes to complete 10 rotations.
If the wheels change direction during the rotation count,
wait and restart your count.
If the count is within 20 - 25 seconds, no adjustment is
necessary.

STEP 7. Adjust Flow to the Cleaner (If Necessary)
1. Adjust the flow if it is not within the optimal wheel speed range.
If the count is:
• 26 - 50 seconds --- Increase Flow (+) ---
cleaner moving too slow and needs additional flow
• 10 - 19 seconds --- Decrease Flow (–) ---
cleaner moving too fast and could be damaged
2. To increase or decrease flow, adjust flow via one of the following methods:
• Valves at the equipment pad for a dedicated suction line.
• Flowkeeper valve at the skimmer for skimmer installation (Figure 7).
• Pump speed (variable speed pumps only).
