For detailed installation, operation,
and safety information, see your
Owner’s Manual.
The suction through the hose is danger-
ous. Do not let children use or play with the pool
cleaner. Do not allow swimmers in the pool during
cleaner operation.
1. Use the vacuum regulator to limit the force of the suc-
tion through the hose.
Suction can grab and hold body parts or clothes and can
trap hair or body against the end of the hose.
2. The hose can entangle swimmers.
3. The oscillator could bruise or injure a child’s hand.
Summary:
For Best Results:
A. Be sure filter system is clean.
B. No toys or floating chlorinators in pool while cleaning.
C. Close main drain and make sure that pump suction is
coming through the skimmer or dedicated wall fitting to
which you have connected the cleaner.

Close the main drain so all the suction will be from
the cleaner hose. Insert the flow gauge into the end of
the hose and start the pump. Keep
the hose and flow gauge underwater.
Adjust the regulator until the disc
indicator in the flow gauge is
between maximum and minimum
flow.
Remove the gauge and attach the
cleaner.
Drop the cleaner into the pool and
start the pump.
