Position the Skimmer in the direction of the strongest winds; this favors the transport of dirt that remains on the surface of the pool towards the filter. The
transformer must be installed at least 3.5 [m] from the edge of the pool. See the drawing (Fig. 3).
INSTALLATION OF THE SUPPORT:
▪ Insert the support rod into the body seating and fasten it with the nuts and throttle valves (Fig. 4).
▪ Bring the group (body+support) to the edge of the pool.
▪ Adjustable hook: loosen the two support fastener knobs to open the clamp and put it half-way on the edge of the pool. Then tighten the two support
fastener knobs until they are correctly fastened on the edge (Fig. 5a).
▪ Flexi hook: press on the float of the self-bearing pool and put it in the support hook (Fig. 5b).
▪ In each case, balance the apparatus so that it remains in a vertical position (Fig. 6).

LEVELLING AND FASTENING THE SKIMMER:

▪ The apparatus must be well-levelled for it to function correctly.
▪ For this pur pose loosen the throttle valves and make the Skimmer slide until the float is suspended on the water. (Fig. 6)
▪ Once it is positioned, fasten it by tightening the throttle valves.
POSITIONING THE FOAMS (for models equipped with foams):
▪ Take the float and the frame out of the body of the Skimmer.
▪ Place the foams in the upper part of the Skimmer in the correct order, starting from the one with the smallest holes, and finishing with the one with
