Always Unplug your Power Supply when not in use to prevent accidental starts.
Never operate the cleaner out of the water. Doing so will cause severe damage to the motor and void the
product Warranty.
Water temperature and chemical composition changes can greatly affect the buoyancy of your cleaner.
Therefore, if you have previously installed floatation devices in your cleaner to assist its buoyancy, it may
be necessary to remove the devices one by-one until proper buoyancy is restored.
Never lift your cleaner out of the pool using the Floating Cable. You may use the Floating Cable to pull the
cleaner to the side of the pool, but always use the Floating Handle to remove it from the pool. Pulling on the
Floating Cable to remove the cleaner from the pool will result in internal connections being broken and
severe damage being caused to your cleaner.

QUICK START GUIDE
To Operate Cleaner
(1)Locate a GFCI 110 V~ac. receptacle, and plug the Power Supply in.
(2) Completely immerse the cleaner in water.
(3) While the cleaner is in the water, gently tilt it side to side (fig3). This will
allow any trapped air to escape through the pump outlets. Then, with a
gentle push, allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of the pool.
NOTE: If the cleaner does not sink to the bottom of the pool, it’s a
result of trapped air. This air must be removed for proper operation.
(4) Uncoil the floating cable fully and spread it over the surface of the water as
evenly as possible. Make sure the cable has no tangles or kinks.
(5) To start the Commercial Pool Cleaner, press the Power Supply ON/OFF
switch to the On position. If your Power Supply is equipped with an adjustable Timer you can now select the length
of the cleaning cycle and press the Reset button to start the cleaner.
To Maintain and Protect your Cleaner
Shut off and unplug power supply every time you remove the cleaner from the water.
Clean your filter bag after every cleaning cycle.
Replace worn brushes to ensure maximum cleaning performance.
Save your cleaner’s packaging materials for off-season storage or if shipping to your dealer if
service is required.
Clean the unit with fresh water after every cleaning cycle. This will wash the cleaner free of
chlorine or other chemicals found in the pool, extending the life of all the cleaner’s components.
Do not leave your cleaner or power supply in direct sunlight when not in use.
Periodically straighten out the cable using the E-Z Swivel
CABLE USE AND CARE
The cable may become twisted after a period of time in use. To correct this condition, simply lock the moveable handle
on the top of the cleaner in the opposite diagonal direction. The Commercial Pool Cleaner will now travel in the
opposite direction while cleaning your pool and the cable will uncoil.
Using the Floating Cable to lift the cleaner out of the water will cause severe damage!
4
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check the cable periodically for external damage. Continual rubbing against sharp or rough surfaces may
abrade the Floating Cable resulting in damage and possible short-circuiting of the cleaner.
Filter Bag
Lay the cleaner on its back on a soft surface to avoid
scratching it. Gently pull-on the Lock Tab on one end
or side of the Bottom Lid freeing one end of the
Bottom Lid. Repeat this procedure on the other end
and remove the Bottom Lid Assembly . Remove the
Filter Bag from the “W” Frames, turn it inside out and
wash off all the dirt with a garden hose or in a bucket. Squeeze
the Bag gently until the rinse water is clear. If necessary, machine wash (Gentle Cycle only) the Bag using only cold
water with NO DETERGENT. You may re-install the bag immediately or allow it to air dry (never machine dry the Filter
Bag). Re-install the Bag on the “W” frames of the Bottom Lid Assembly, making sure that the “felt” (soft) side is facing in.
To ensure a proper fit of the Filter Bag onto the Bottom Lid Assembly, locate the small Label near the Filter Bag's elastic
bottom (Ref 2.1). Position the Filter Bag so that the small Label is at the center of either long side of the Bottom Lid.
Then pull the elastic bottom over each Wire and slide the Filter Bag down along the Wires until the Bag reaches the
Bottom Lid. At that point, the Filter Bag's elastic bottom should be stretched over the plastic ridges located at opposing
ends of the short sides of the Bottom Lid. This holds the Filter Bag in place. Press down on top of the Filter Bag where
each of the four “U” shaped slots on the Wire Frame are located. This will pull the Filter Bag corners to the corners of
the Wire Frame. Re-install the Bottom Lid Assembly into the bottom of the cleaner. Be sure that the Filter Bag's fabric
is not interfering with the locking of the Lock Tabs.
The cleaner's Filter Bag can filter out particles down to 20 times smaller than many main filters. This means that the fine
particles such as algae and bacteria, invisible to the naked eye, which slip through the main filter and back into the pool
to settle into the pores of the pool's surface, will be scrubbed loose and vacuumed up by the cleaner and retained in its
Filter Bag. When the Filter Bag becomes saturated with debris, the flow of water through it becomes restricted and
suction is reduced. Strong water flow is required to force the cleaner against the wall when climbing. A dirty Filter Bag
also weighs the cleaner down, making it hard for the cleaner to climb due to the added weight and reduced water flow.
Temperature and chemical composition changes can greatly affect the buoyancy of your cleaner.
Therefore, if you have previously installed floatation devices in your cleaner to assist its buoyancy, it may
be necessary to remove the devices one by-one until proper buoyancy is restored.

inlet extensions, 1/8” and 1/4”. When using the inlet
extensions observe the cleaners operation in the
pool to see if any obstacles interfere with the
extensions. (3) Your cleaner offers the best
possible performance when it is virtually
weightless in your pool. So, careful balancing
of its weight is important. Generally, a new
cleaner is very light when used for the first time.
Careful removal of air trapped in the housing is critical.
Additional floatation is typically not required on start-up.
Most pool conditions allow your cleaner to effortlessly
climb the pool walls and stairs up to the waterline. In some
instances the pool environment (e.g., temperature,
chemicals, water, etc.) may offset your cleaner's natural
buoyancy. Therefore, four floats have been included in the
packaging with your new cleaner to assist with its
buoyancy. (4) Located on the inside of the bottom lid and
near the suction inlet is the Suction Selector Switch. If the selector switch is moved towards the “LESS” markings the
inlet flaps will be kept from fully opening .This will increase the suction power of the cleaner, but will also restrict larger
debris from entering the filter.
The Bottom Lid Assembly has several options that will permit you to control the way the cleaner
operates. The bottom lid consists of six parts. (1) Two rollers are located adjacent to the inlets. This
prevents the cleaner from being stuck on obstacles like drain covers. If they are not needed, the rollers
may be removed by removing a single phillips screw. (2) The inlet extensions will lower the suction point
of the cleaner. The lower the suction point, the greater the suction. Your cleaner comes with two sets of

floatation, add the two remaining Pocket Floats. Pocket Floats do not
require any screws or glue. Simply place them into the open rectangular
cavities outside to the side of the Intake Flap housing.
To Add Floatation: (1) Remove the two Screws from the “H”-
Float. Then, place the “H”-Float, foam-side down, against the
inside base of the Bottom Lid Assembly. Secure the “H”-
Float with the two screws provided by fastening them from
the outside of the Bottom Lid Assembly. This should provide
adequate buoyancy. (2) Should your cleaner require more
