Congratulations on the purchase of your new automatic
pool cleaner. This manual will guide you through the steps
needed to install and operate it. Please read it carefully.
Hose can trip or entangle swimmers. Do not
allow swimmers in pool while cleaner is operating.
PREPARE YOUR POOL
Before installing your Cleaner, clean your filter system and
empty all leaf baskets. A clean filter system is necessary for
proper operation of automatic pool cleaners. It will also
lessen the load on your pump and reduce electricity and
pump repair bills.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at
Hazardous suction.
Can trap and tear
hair or body parts.
Can cause drowning.
Do not play with cleaner
or hose or apply to body.
Do not let children use or
play with pool cleaner.
Stop pump before
attempting to clean unit.
Do not allow swimmers in
pool while pool cleaner is
operating.
Prepare your pool as follows:
1. Manually vacuum the pool
2. Brush the walls and other parts of the pool surface to
lift off grime and algae.
3. Clean the filter and remove debris from the pump
strainer and skimmer baskets.
4. Chemically balance the pool water.
DECIDE ON THE SUCTION
CONNECTION
1. Decide on the suction connection you will use –
either a dedicated wall fitting or a skimmer.
2. Identify the filter valves that control water flow through
the intakes in your pool. When you install the Cleaner
you will adjust the valves (if your system has valves)
of your pump/filter to draw the water through the cho-
sen connection.
UNPACK AND ASSEMBLE YOUR
CLEANER (Figures 1 and 2)
Suction entrapment, injury, and drowning
hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction port ("vac
port") for vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner, it
must be covered when not in use. A spring loaded safety
cover (a "vac port fitting") is included with your cleaner.
Install it on the suction port to prevent entrapment and
injury. If the cover provided does not fit, purchase one that
does from your local pool store and install it instead. The
cover should conform to IAPMO SPS4-99A.
1. Open the box and make sure that you have the follow-
ing items. Note that the Cleaner's unique bumper and
roller assembly may have been attached prior to ship-
ment. If it is not attached, follow the instructions to
attach it yourself.
2. If not already done, attach the Bumper and Roller to
the flexible stalk protruding from the body of the
Cleaner (See Figure 1A).
3. Attach the Pipe and Nut Assembly to the top (thread-
ed) end of the Cleaner (See Figure 2A).
First place the collar of the Bumper and Roller assembly
over the threaded end of the Main Housing and then
screw on the Pipe and Nut Assembly as shown in Figure
2B. When the Pipe and Nut Assembly is installed, the
bumper and roller won't swing loosely from the cleaner.
Hand tighten the nut as if you were tightening the lid on a
kitchen container; you will occasionally need to unscrew
the Pipe and Nut Assembly to perform routine mainte-
nance on the cleaner.
Your cleaner is assembled!
