Robot Pool Cleaner Operation

Preparing the Robot Pool Cleaner for Use

• A. Assemble the Caddy kit – you will find the instructions in a separate document
• B. Adjusting the handle float angle
• The handle angel must be adjusted to determine the speed that the robot pool cleaner advances along the water-line.
  1. Lay the handle down at an angle of 180¡ to the ground.
  2. Push the base of the arm into the body of the robot pool cleaner and slide it towards the rear of the robot pool cleaner until it clicks into the required position.

Normal advance

• More efficient cleaning action on water-line.

Fast advance

• Fast speed – For faster but less efficient cleaning action on water-line.
• C. Laying out the cable
• Unwind minimal required cable to cover the entire pool size, straight the cable along the pool side.
• Make sure there are no twists or kinks.
• Only use the original supplied Power supply Unit.
• The Power supply Unit is Splash proof – Do not immerse it in water.
• Unplug the Power Supply Unit before any servicing activity.
• Do not plug the Power Supply Unit in before placing the pool cleaner in the water.
• Ensure the mains outlet is protected by a ground fault interrupter (GFI) or an earth leakage interrupter (ELI).
