Setup
1. Hose Assembly
Connect the 12 individual hose sections together to achieve the required length for your pool. The total hose length should be sufficient to reach all areas of your pool, plus an additional section to allow the cleaner to move freely.

2. Connecting to Pool System
- Ensure your pool pump is turned off.
- Connect one end of the assembled hose to the inlet port of the VINGLI cleaner.
- Connect the other end of the hose to your pool's skimmer or dedicated suction line. Use the provided adapters as necessary to ensure a secure, airtight connection.
- Submerge the cleaner and hose completely in the pool to remove all air from the system before turning on the pump.
3. Adjusting Suction Power
The cleaner features an adjustable suction power mechanism. Use the included pressure regulator valve to optimize the suction for your pool's pump strength and debris type. Adjusting the valve allows the cleaner to move efficiently and climb walls effectively.

Operating Instructions
- After connecting the cleaner and submerging the hose, turn on your pool pump.
- The cleaner will begin to move randomly across the pool floor and walls, collecting debris.
- Observe the cleaner's movement. If it moves too slowly or too quickly, adjust the suction power using the regulator valve. Optimal movement allows the cleaner to cover the entire pool surface, including climbing walls.
- The cleaner is designed for ultra-quiet operation, ensuring a peaceful poolside environment.

Maintenance
- Debris Basket: Regularly check and empty the debris basket located within the cleaner or your skimmer/pump basket. A full basket can reduce suction efficiency.
- Hose Inspection: Periodically inspect the hoses for cracks, leaks, or blockages. Replace any damaged hose sections to maintain optimal performance.
- Cleaner Body: Rinse the cleaner body with fresh water after use, especially if the pool water is heavily chlorinated or contains chemicals.
- Wear and Tear: Inspect wheels and other moving parts for wear. Replace worn components as needed to ensure proper movement and wall-climbing ability.
- The cleaner is designed to be clog-resistant, but large debris can still cause blockages. If suction is lost, check for obstructions in the cleaner's intake and the hose.
Troubleshooting
