Assembly
- Attach the telescoping pole to the vacuum handle. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Select the appropriate filter option based on the debris type in your pool. Use the 360µm filter screen for larger debris (twigs, coarse sand, leaves). For finer particles (fine sand, dust), add the 100µm filter sleeve over the 360µm filter.

Operating Instructions
Cleaning Modes
The Pilot X1 offers dual depth cleaning modes for versatile use:

- Shallow Mode (≥0.6 feet / 20cm): Ideal for pool steps, lounging areas, and hot tubs.

Operation Steps
- Submerge the suction head into the pool water.
- Press the one-click activation button to start the vacuum. The 3-color LED indicator will show the current mode (Blue for Deep Water, Green for Shallow Water, Red for Low Battery).
- Move the vacuum slowly back and forth across the pool floor and surfaces to clean. The flexible vacuum head adapts to edges, corners, and curves.
- The telescoping pole extends from 59.05 inches (5 ft) to 98.43 inches (8.3 ft) to reach various areas of the pool.

Maintenance
Debris Bin and Filter Cleaning
- When the debris bin is full, or after each use, remove it from the vacuum.
- Empty the collected debris.
- Rinse the debris bin and filter(s) thoroughly with a water hose.
- Allow all components to dry completely before reattaching them to the vacuum. This prevents clogging and extends the lifespan of the filter.
