SETTING UP YOUR ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER
1. FLOATING HANDLE
The Floating Handle (Page 3; Fig. 1) is a flotation device that helps your cleaner climb, is a handle to hold and carry your cleaner,
and with some models acts as a guidance mechanism, directing it to move left or right while the cleaner scrubs the waterline.
For proper operation of your pool cleaner, the Handle must be locked diagonally* across the top of the cleaner’s body.
To Lock The Floating Handle:
Pull / Push down the right front Handle Spring Lock (Page
1.
5; Fig. 5a, 5b & Fig. 6) while sliding that side of the Floating
Handle towards you as far as it can go (Fig. 6). Release the
Handle Spring Lock to secure the “Handle” in place.
Pull / Push down the left rear Handle Spring Lock down and
2.
slide the Handle away from you as far as it can go. Release
the Handle Spring Lock to secure the Handle in place.
To reverse diagonal position of the Floating Handle, simply
reverse the above procedure and lock the Handle diagonally
across the cleaner’s body in the opposite direction.
NOTE: Models with Fig. 6, Version B Spring Locks offer 3 locking positions, providing 2 different speeds when the cleaner moves
laterally (left or right) along the waterline.
POSITION 1: Larger angle provides faster movement at waterline and total pool coverage.
POSITION 2: Smaller angle provides slower movement for more detailed waterline cleaning attention and slower
total pool coverage.
POSITION 3: Keeps the cleaner at a fixed position at the waterline, before reversing down the wall, for slowest total
pool coverage.
NOTE: Occasionally new cleaner’s may require a bit of force in order to slide the Floating Handle into place the first few times
until the internal slot becomes smooth.
NOTE: In case of some cleaners the Spring Locks will point upwards, not down. Simply pull up on the Spring Locks and slide the
Floating Handle into position as described above.

IMPORTANT: It is necessary to reverse* the diagonal Handle direction after every use of your cleaner to insure
that the Floating Cable (Page 3; Fig. 2) does not become twisted or kinked and does not limit the cleaning
coverage of your cleaner!
*
Some models have either a permanently fixed Floating Handle, no Handle or Handle Float (Page 3; Fig. 1).
These models do not require locking the Handle diagonally.
