FLOTATION
Your cleaner is a universal pool cleaner which performs under varying chemical and temperature
conditions in your pool. Your cleaner offers the best possible performance when it is virtually weightless
in your pool. Therefore, careful balancing of its weight is important for proper operation. Generally, a
new cleaner is universally balanced when used for the first time and additional Flotation (Fig. 17) is not
required on start-up.
Most pool conditions allow your cleaner to climb most stairs and pool walls effortlessly up to the
waterline. *However, in some instances the pool environment (e.g. temperature, chemicals, water, etc.)
may offset your cleaner’s natural buoyancy. Therefore, flotation devices (Fig. 17) have been included
in the packaging with your new cleaner to assist its buoyancy.
Adding Flotation on Bottom Lid Assembly (Fig. 18a-b):
1. Remove the Filter Bag (Fig. 18a). Then place the 2 Square
Floats, foam side down, against the inside base of the Bottom
Lid Assembly (Fig. 18b). Secure the Square Floats with the
2 Screws provided by fastening them in from the inside of
the Bottom Lid Assembly. This should provide adequate
buoyancy.
2. Should your cleaner require more Flotation, then repeat step
1 and add the 2 remaining Square Floats.

IMPORTANT: Temperature and chemical composition
changes can greatly affect the buoyancy of your
cleaner! Therefore, if you have previously installed
Flotation devices in your cleaner to assist its buoyancy,
it may be necessary to remove the devices one-by-one
until proper buoyancy is restored!

PROPELLER CARE
It is a good practice to inspect the Propeller (Page 3; Fig. 1) once
or twice per season to check for obstructions, which may reduce
water flow and thus vacuuming ability and pool coverage.
1. First unplug the cleaner from the Power Supply (Fig. 19a).
2. Then remove the Screws that secure the Outlet Top to the body
(Fig. 19b-c). The Outlet Top has 4 Screws. Using a screwdriver
or similar instrument, not your finger, turn the Propeller to check
that it spins freely and inspect the Propeller for clogs: hair,
twigs or other debris, which may keep it from spinning freely.
Remove any accumulated material and replace the Outer Top.

IMPORTANT: To protect against personal injury
and damage to your cleaner always unplug your
cleaner from its Power Supply prior to performing any
maintenance or repair procedures!
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to over-tighten the Screws
or you may “strip” the screw holes or crack the Outlet
Top when re-assembling!

IMPORTANT:
Careful removal of air trapped in the housing is critical. Each time you place
your cleaner in the pool use the Handle (while submersed) to turn it upside down and gently
rock it back and forth to allow any possible trapped air to escape! (See Page 7, Step 2)
