Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your Gre 40017 Oval Manual Pool Cleaner with Side Brushes. Designed for efficient cleaning of pool bottoms and walls, this cleaner connects to your pool's suction system. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure safe and effective operation.
Safety Instructions
- Always disconnect the pool cleaner from the suction system before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
- Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks and maintain proper suction.
- Keep the cleaner away from children when not in use.
- Do not use the cleaner if any part is damaged. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Operate the cleaner only in water.
Components
The Gre 40017 Oval Manual Pool Cleaner consists of the following main components:
- Oval Cleaning Head: The main body of the cleaner, designed to cover a wide area.
- Side Brushes: Integrated brushes on the sides of the cleaning head for scrubbing pool walls and corners.
- Suction Port: Central opening for connecting to the pool's suction hose.
- Handle Connector: Attachment point for a telescopic pole (not included).

Setup
- Attach Telescopic Pole: Connect a standard telescopic pole (not included) to the handle connector on the top of the cleaning head. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Connect Suction Hose: Attach your pool's vacuum hose (not included) to the central suction port of the cleaner. Make sure the connection is tight to prevent air leaks, which can reduce suction efficiency.
- Submerge Cleaner: Slowly lower the cleaner into the pool, allowing it to fill with water and expel all air from the hose. This prevents air from entering your pump system.
- Connect to Suction Point: Connect the other end of the vacuum hose to your pool's suction intake (either a skimmer or a dedicated vacuum line).
Operating Instructions
Once the cleaner is set up and connected to your pool's filtration system, follow these steps for effective cleaning:
- Start Filtration System: Turn on your pool's pump and filtration system to create suction.
- Begin Cleaning: Guide the cleaner slowly across the bottom of the pool in overlapping strokes. Avoid rapid movements, as this can stir up debris rather than vacuuming it.
- Clean Walls and Corners: Utilize the side brushes by tilting the cleaner slightly to scrub stubborn dirt from pool walls and hard-to-reach corners. The oval shape is particularly effective for this.
- Monitor Suction: Ensure consistent suction throughout the cleaning process. If suction decreases, check for clogs in the hose or the skimmer basket.
- Finish Cleaning: Once the pool bottom and walls are clean, turn off the filtration system.
- Remove Cleaner: Disconnect the hose from the suction point and carefully remove the cleaner from the pool.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your pool cleaner and ensure optimal performance:
- Rinse After Use: After each use, rinse the cleaner thoroughly with fresh water to remove any chlorine, chemicals, or debris.
- Inspect Brushes: Regularly check the side brushes for wear and tear. While durable, brushes may need replacement over time depending on usage.
- Check for Obstructions: Periodically inspect the suction port and the underside of the cleaner for any debris that might be lodged and affecting suction.
- Proper Storage: Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor or no suction | Air leak in hose connection; Clogged skimmer basket/pump strainer; Insufficient pump power; Hose obstruction. | Ensure all hose connections are tight. Empty skimmer basket and pump strainer. Verify pump is running at adequate power. Check hose for blockages. |
| Cleaner not moving smoothly | Debris caught in brushes; Worn brushes; Uneven pool surface. | Remove any debris from brushes. Inspect brushes for wear and replace if necessary. Adjust cleaning technique for uneven surfaces. |
| Debris stirred up, not vacuumed | Cleaning too fast; Suction too low. | Move the cleaner more slowly across the pool bottom. Check for issues causing low suction (see "Poor or no suction"). |
