To acquire these products, enquire at your dealers or the After-sales Service of the swimming pool manufacturer. Always use original
spare parts.
A hose that is longer than necessary to reach all points of the pool will hinder its use. Cut the excess length of hose. Ensure that rubber
terminals do not leak.
6.2.1. CONNECTING THE FLOOR CLEANER
Disconnect the apparatus from the power supply.
Place the suction cover accessory inside the Skimmer with the inlet facing downwards and without removing the basket.
Prime the hose
From INSIDE THE POOL pass the end of the hose through the Skimmer flap opening and taking care not to let air in, connect it to the
suction cover inlet. Connection will be easier if the suction cover is held at a slant.
Then place it into position horizontally inserting more hose. TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE SKIMMER FLAP OPENING WHILE
PERFORMING THIS OPERATION.
THE WATER LEVEL OF THE SKIMMER SHOULD BE AT MAXIMUM AND ABOVE THE JOINT BETWEEN THE COVER AND THE
HOSE TO PREVENT AIR FROM ENTERING.
Start-up the backpack Skimmer and proceed to clean the floor of the swimming pool.
6.2.2. PRIMING THE FLOOR CLEANER HOSE:
Slowly place the floor cleaner inside the pool with a pole and the hose connected vertically, letting it fill with water and keeping the rest
of the hose out of the water.
Gradually place the hose in the water in lengths of 50 cm., which should be immersed as they fill with water. When the end is reached,
the hose should be full of water and totally immersed.
If the hose is not fully primed, the floor cleaner will not be able to suction and the water treatment apparatus may be damaged if used
empty.
7. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
To guarantee electrical safety, the equipment is provided with an electrical unit that is protected against the inlet of water. If a cable or any of
the components are damaged, the whole electrical unit should be changed.
None of the components of this electrical unit should be handled, as it would affect the safety of the equipment.
REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL UNIT
If a cable or a component of the electrical unit is damaged, proceed as follows:
•
Disconnect the apparatus from the mains.
•
Unscrew the 3 screws of the bottom cover and remove it.
•
Unscrew the 3 screws that hold the motor and remove the electric/motor unit.
•
Place the new electric/motor unit by tightening the 3 screws to the body of the skimmer and place the bottom cover by tightening the 3
corresponding screws
8. WINTER MONTHS - MAINTENANCE WHEN OUT OF USE
To preserve the equipment properly during the winter months or when it is not used for long period of time, proceed as follows:
Empty the water from the pool until 4 cm. under the lower edge of the backpack skimmer frame (No. 9 Fig 3)
Insert the O-ring (Fig. 2) in the winter plug (No. 14 Fig. 2) and screw the plug to the return nozzle from inside the pool, using the spanner (No.
13 Fig. 2). Remove the cartridge, dry it and store it.
It is recommended to use this occasion to visually check the condition of the cable and other electrical components and replace if necessary.
To do this, see section ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Processing of electrical and electronic equipment after their period of use (Only applicable in the E.U.)
In order to reduce the amount of waste of electric and electronic apparatus, to reduce the danger of components, to encourage
the reuse of apparatus, to assess waste and to set up a suitable waste treatment system, with the aim of improving the
efficiency of environmental protection, a set of rules has been established applicable to the manufacture of the product and
other rules regarding the correct environmental treatment when these products become waste.
It is also intended to improve the environmental practices of all agents involved in electrical and electronic goods, including
manufacturers, distributors, users and particularly those directly involved in the treatment of waste derived from these
apparatus.
From 13
th
August 2005, there are two ways of disposing of this apparatus:
•
if you purchase a new equivalent apparatus or which has the same functions as the one you wish to dispose of, you can hand it
over, free of charge, to the distributor when making your purchase, or
•
you can take it to local collection points.
We shall cover waste treatment costs.
The apparatus are labelled with a symbol of a “crossed-out waste container”. This symbol means that the apparatus is subject to selected
waste collection, different from general waste collection.
Our products are designed and manufactured with top-quality, environmental-friendly materials and components, which can be reused and
recycled. In spite of this, several parts of this product are not biodegradable and therefore it should not be left in the environment.
For the
correct recycling of this product, please completely detach the electrical motor from the rest of the filtration equipment.
