STEP 1 - POOL PREPARATION
•
Before installing the Kontiki, examine the interior of your pool carefully. If your vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles,
roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, or has damage to the base material or supporting walls,
do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.
•
Manually vacuum the pool. This eliminates unnecessary adjustment later.
•
Clean the pool filter and empty the skimmer and pump strainer baskets. Filter pressure rises as debris is cleaned from the water,
thus reducing flow.
•
Divert the pool return inlets downward - (IMPORTANT!). Your Kontiki must move randomly throughout the pool. Water
circulating at the surface will influence the hose and limit coverage.
• To adjust the return inlet, loosen the lock ring and redirect the eyeball downward, then retighten the lock ring. If the eyeball is
difficult to adjust, insert a screwdriver inside the eyeball and gently adjust downward.
• If the return inlets cannot be pointed downward, then you MUST install Kontiki return line diverters, which are available through
your dealer.
