Setup
Positioning the Power Supply Unit
Place the power supply unit at least 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) from the edge of the pool. Ensure it is in a shaded area and not exposed to direct sunlight or standing water.
Connecting the Cleaner to the Power Supply
Connect the floating cable from the cleaner to the power supply unit. Ensure the connector is fully inserted and secured.
Placing the Cleaner in the Pool
Gently lower the Dolphin S50 into the pool. Allow it to sink to the bottom, releasing any trapped air bubbles. Ensure the floating cable is untangled and spread out on the water surface to prevent tangling during operation.
