OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filter Bag
Lay the cleaner on its back on a soft surface to avoid
scratching it. Gently pull-on the Lock Tab on one end
or side of the Bottom Lid freeing one end of the
Bottom Lid. Repeat this procedure on the other end
and remove the Bottom Lid Assembly . Remove the
Filter Bag from the “W” Frames, turn it inside out and
wash off all the dirt with a garden hose or in a bucket. Squeeze
the Bag gently until the rinse water is clear. If necessary, machine wash (Gentle Cycle only) the Bag using only cold
water with
NO DETERGENT
. You may re-install the bag immediately or allow it to air dry (never machine dry the Filter
Bag). Re-install the Bag on the “W” frames of the Bottom Lid Assembly, making sure that the “felt” (soft) side is facing in.
To ensure a proper fit of the Filter Bag onto the Bottom Lid Assembly, locate the small Label near the Filter Bag's elastic
bottom (Ref 2.1). Position the Filter Bag so that the small Label is at the center of either long side of the Bottom Lid.
Then pull the elastic bottom over each Wire and slide the Filter Bag down along the Wires until the Bag reaches the
Bottom Lid. At that point, the Filter Bag's elastic bottom should be stretched over the plastic ridges located at opposing
ends of the short sides of the Bottom Lid. This holds the Filter Bag in place. Press down on top of the Filter Bag where
each of the four “U” shaped slots on the Wire Frame are located. This will pull the Filter Bag corners to the corners of
the Wire Frame. Re-install the Bottom Lid Assembly into the bottom of the cleaner. Be sure that the Filter Bag's fabric
is not interfering with the locking of the Lock Tabs.
The cleaner's Filter Bag can filter out particles down to 20 times smaller than many main filters. This means that the fine
particles such as algae and bacteria, invisible to the naked eye, which slip through the main filter and back into the pool
to settle into the pores of the pool's surface, will be scrubbed loose and vacuumed up by the cleaner and retained in its
Filter Bag. When the Filter Bag becomes saturated with debris, the flow of water through it becomes restricted and
suction is reduced. Strong water flow is required to force the cleaner against the wall when climbing. A dirty Filter Bag
also weighs the cleaner down, making it hard for the cleaner to climb due to the added weight and reduced water flow.
T
emperature and chemical composition changes can greatly affect the buoyancy of your cleaner.
Therefore, if you have previously installed floatation devices in your cleaner to assist its buoyancy, it may
be necessary to remove the devices one by-one until proper buoyancy is restored.
Check the cable periodically for external damage.
Continual rubbing against sharp or rough surfaces may
abrade the Floating Cable resulting in damage and possible short-circuiting of the cleaner.
