The Top/Bottom Switch (Part P, page 4) is set to “AUTO” at the
factory. The Phantom Cleaner will vacuum the pool bottom and
sides 2/3 of its cycle and skim the surface 1/3 of its cycle
automatically.
The cleaner can be easily adjusted to concentrate on the areas
of the pool with the most debris.

• In most pools it will not be necessary to adjust the
Sweep Hose power.
• Observe the Phantom cleaner operating in the pool.
The Sweep Hose should move in a slow, undulating
(snake-like) motion.

If the Sweep Hose does not
move side-to-side and just drags behind the cleaner, check
the Sweep Hose for holes. Check for debris behind the
adjustment knob or in the jet-end of the Sweep Hose.

• In most pools it will not be necessary to change the Spin-Out
frequency.
• The cleaner comes with a 3-prong Spin-Out cam installed,
which makes the Phantom cleaner Spin-Out once every
50-seconds. This is appropriate for most pools.
• Pools that are small or have many sharp corners or other
obstacles may benefit from more frequent Spin-Outs. For
such pools, open the Cam Cap and replace the 3-prong cam
with the 5-prong 30 second cam.
• Pools that are very large and/or have very few obstacles may
benefit from less frequent Spin-Outs. For such pools, open
the Cam Cap and replace the 3-prong cam with the 2-prong
75-second cam.
• The goal is to maximize cleaning time and minimize the
amount of time spinning out.
• If the cleaner is spending too much time at an obstacle
waiting for a Spin-Out, use a cam with more prongs for more
frequent Spin-Outs.
• If the cleaner rarely needs to Spin-Out near an obstacle then
a cam with fewer prongs and less frequent Spin-Outs will
increase effective cleaning time.
• If the cleaner has a tendency to stay in the deep end (not
cleaning the shallow end sufficiently), in pools with a
particularly steep or long slopes between the deep and
shallow ends, we recommend using a cam with fewer
prongs, it will promote longer straight runs.

Each Cam has a “Summer” side and a “Winter” side (see Sun &
Snowflake logos on each Cam). The Summer side is usually
preferred. If the pool water is cold (below 60 degrees F), the
Pressure Hose becomes stiffer and may prevent the Cleaner
from Spinning-Out enough to escape from obstacles. The
“Winter” Cam side will provide longer Spin-Outs so the Cleaner
operates better in cold water.

1..
Turn the Cam Cap to open
2
2..
Remove the Cam, turn it over and replace the Cam so the
desired (Sun or Snowflake) side is face-up.
•
•
If the cleaner is making more than three attempts to escape
from an obstacle, use the “Winter” side.
•
•
If the cleaner regularly spins-out more than three-quarters
of a turn, use the “Summer” side.
