INSTALLATION
• Make sure the skimmer, pump basket and filter
are clean.
• Adjust the inlet jets so that they point towards the
bottom of the pool.
• Close the main drain on the bottom of your pool.
• Turn on the pool drain.
• Fill the Manta II hose with water using the flow from
the inlet jets ensuring that the hose remains beneath
the surface of the water during and after these
procedures. (6)
IMPORTANT:
You can connect your Manta II to a (or the) skimmer
point, or to the vacuum point. You are strongly
advised to connect it to a skimmer point for
maximum cleaning efficiency.
CONNECTION
• Pools with one skimmer and no vacuum point
In pools fitted with only one skimmer it is advisable
to use a flow control valve.
Use a weir adapter to fit the automatic flow control
valve to the skimmer (7).
IMPORTANT : The automatic flow adjustment valve is
pre-set in the factory to number 3, the most suitable
position for European pools. For an optimal performance
from your cleaner, we recommend that you do not move
the valve from this position. Secondly, always check that
the valve’s dark grey flap is not held in the open position
by the red lever – otherwise your cleaner cannot function.
IMPORTANT:
The valve must be under the water at all times,
otherwise air will be sucked into the pump.
• Pools with two skimmers
Connect the hose or skimmer socket located in the main
part of the pool. Then adjust the suction of the shallow
end skimmer so that the automatic pool cleaner will
move around at normal speed 5 to 6 meters per minute).
• Pools with vacuum point
Connect the automatic pool cleaner to the vacuum
point and then adjust the flow using the skimmers
as described above.
FLOW TEST
You can always check the flow rate, particularly if you
have doubts about the suction power of your pump.
N.B. : all these operations must be carried out under
water so that the pump does not take in air.
1.
Remove the Manta II from the hose and replace
with the pool pulse. (8)
2.
Note the zone indicated on the tester :
“Ideal”:
the flow rate is ideal for running your Manta II. Remove
the tester and connect the appliance to the hose.
”Min”:
increase the flow by closing the valve or flap of the
skimmer or skimmers until the tester indicator moves
into the ideal zone. Remove the tester and connect
the appliance to the hose.
“Max”:
reduce the flow by opening the valve or flap
of the skimmer or skimmers until the tester indicator
moves into the ideal zone. Remove the tester
and connect the appliance to the hose.
WINTER STORAGE
Clean the entire unit and the hoses with clean water.
Allow to dry and store them in a dry frost-protected
area.
