To evaluate this speed:
1. Switch on the filtration pump and prepare a stopwatch.
2. Hold the cleaner just below the surface of the water.
3. Find the yellow indicator on the right-hand rear wheel.
4. Measure how long it takes for the wheels to rotate ten times.
NOTE: For MX8™, wait for the wheels to change direction before
beginning the stopwatch.
If this time is:
• 20 to 25 seconds
NO adjustment needed, the flow rate is normal.
•
25 to 50
seconds
INCREASE
the flow rate.
•
10 to 19
seconds
REDUCE
the flow rate.
Adjusting the flow rate to optimise the cleaner's performance
The
Flowkeeper valve
allows you to adjust the flow rate to ensure the
cleaner and the pump operate correctly. It is set by default to optimise
the cleaner's performance, but two further flow positions are avai-
lable.
To adjust it, pull the lever on the Flowkeeper valve outwards and move
it:
•
upwards
to
increase
the flow rate;
•
downwards
to
reduce
the flow rate.

3.3. MX™ 8 - MX™ 8 PRO vacuum modes
Before starting this operation, to avoid serious injury, ensure the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and
the vacuum pump is not operating.
The MX™ 8 and MX™ 8 PRO cleaners are designed with two vacuum options:
Small debris cleaning mode
(factory setting): for collecting small debris and heavy debris such as sand, mud and
pebbles.
Large debris cleaning mode
: for collecting larger debris such as leaves.
To change the cleaner to "large debris" cleaning mode:
• Turn the cleaner over.
•
Insert a finger into the yellow vacuum adaptor between
the two fans.
• Lift the rear of the adaptor and remove it from the va-
cuum inlet.
To return to "small debris" cleaning mode:
• Replace the yellow adaptor in the vacuum inlet of the
cleaner cleaner. Press until the front and rear edges
clip into place.
For regular maintenance, we recommend the small debris mode.
4. Maintenance
Never expose the hose to direct sunlight.
