Setup Instructions
- Assemble Hoses: Connect the 3.3 ft hose sections together to achieve the desired length. The total hose length should be sufficient to reach all areas of your pool, plus one extra section to allow for movement.
- Connect to Cleaner: Attach one end of the assembled hose to the inlet port of the VINGLI pool cleaner unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Submerge Cleaner and Hose: Slowly lower the cleaner into the pool. Feed the hose into the water section by section to allow it to fill with water and remove air. This prevents air pockets from affecting suction.
- Connect to Suction Point: Connect the other end of the hose to your pool's skimmer or a dedicated suction line. Use the appropriate adapter if necessary.
- Adjust Suction Power: If your model includes an adjustable suction valve (as shown in Figure 3), adjust it to optimize cleaning performance and wall-climbing ability. Start with a moderate setting and adjust as needed.

Operating Instructions
- Start Pump: Once the cleaner and hose are fully submerged and connected, turn on your pool pump. The cleaner should begin to move across the pool floor.
- Monitor Movement: Observe the cleaner's movement. It should move randomly across the pool floor and occasionally climb the walls.
- Adjust for Wall Climbing: If the cleaner is not climbing walls effectively, increase the suction power slightly using the adjustable valve (if present) or by adjusting your pool pump's flow. If it gets stuck on walls, reduce suction.
- Cleaning Cycle: Allow the cleaner to operate for several hours or until the pool is clean. The duration will depend on the size of your pool and the amount of debris.
- Remove Cleaner: Before turning off the pump, disconnect the hose from the skimmer/suction line. Slowly pull the cleaner out of the water.

Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the cleaner's moving parts, hoses, and connections for wear, damage, or blockages.
- Clear Debris: Although the cleaner sends debris to your pool filter, large items can sometimes get caught in the cleaner's intake. Check and clear any obstructions from the cleaner's underside.
- Hose Care: Store hoses in a coiled manner to prevent kinks. Avoid leaving hoses in direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use, as UV exposure can degrade the material.
- Winterization: If you close your pool for winter, thoroughly clean the cleaner and hoses. Drain all water and store them in a dry, frost-free location.
