4.3 PREPARATION
Pool preparation: illustration 2.1
Remove dirt manually and make sure the pool and pump filter is clean. Point the discharge nozzles
downward to ensure complete cleaning coverage. Turn off the bottom drain as shown in the illustration.
Hose Assembly: illustration 2.3 & 2.4
Fit and turn each section of hose
Assemble a sufficient number of hoses to reach the farthest part of the pool, then add another 1 section
of hose. Place the hose counterweight at the end of the first section of hose, about 1 meter from the
cleaner. Place the second counterweight on top of the first, it will need to be adjusted later.
Installation of the flow control valve: illustration 2.4 & 2.5
Connect the hose plug to the flow control valve. Attach the flow control valve to the flexible adapter. The
flow control valve is used to adjust the flow rate so that the pump and the robot work properly. Turning
the valve towards the "-" reduces the robot suction flow rate, without affecting the pump's suction flow
rate.
Installation of the flow tester valve: illustration 2.4 & 2.5
Connect the female connector of the hose to the flow tester valve. Switch on the filtering system and fill
the hose with water by placing the hose in front of a discharge nozzle until it is completely filled. Stop the
pump and make sure the hose is kept submerged. The flow tester valve allows you to check the value of
the robot suction flow rate.
4.4 FIRST USE
WARNING! Read the «SAFETY INSTRUCTION» section at the
beginning of this manual including all text under subheading
therein before using this product.
Flow test: illustration 2.6 & 2.7
Before installing the robot head, test and adjust the flow rate for optimal robot operation.
Be sure to keep the hose submerged. Insert the flow control valve with the hose adapter into a pressure
nozzle (Fig. 2.6a) or into the suction system of the skimmer (Fig. 2.6b) and switch on the pump. Check
that the indicator on the tester is set to setting No. 3. To adjust the setting, turn the valve towards "+" to
increase the robot suction flow or towards "-" to decrease the robot suction flow. (Figure 2.7)
If you encounter difficulties in reaching level 3 on the tester by adjusting the valve, you can try the
following solutions, depending on your installation:
•
If your installation has only one suction nozzle, check that the pump of your installation has a
power between 250 and 750 W.
•
If the robot is connected to a suction nozzle and a skimmer is running on your pool, reduce the
flow of the skimmer in order to increase the robot's suction flow.
•
If the robot is connected to the skimmer and one or more suction nozzles are active on your
system, reduce the flow rate of the nozzles in order to increase the robot suction flow rate.
Installation of the pool cleaner: illustration 3.1 to 3.3
Once the flow rate has been adjusted, stop the pump. While keeping the hose submerged, remove the
flow tester and replace it with the robot head. Fit the anti-locking wheel on the end of the last section of
hose, about 10 cm from the robot head. The anti-locking wheel pivots on the hose to help the robot go
around steps and other obstacles in the pool.
