Klever Kleena Klassic Owner's Manual
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR RETURN LINE WATER FLOW
The water flow from your return line can push the Klever Kleena’s
hose and cause the Klever Kleena to steer away from where the return
line is located, or to remain in one section of the pool. If adjustments
to the existing eyeball return do not allow you to stop the directional
flow from influencing the movement of the Klever Kleena, you should
correct this by purchasing the optional eyeball diverter available from
your Klever Kleena dealer.
TO INSTALL THE EYEBALL DIVERTER
1. Ensure your pool pump is off Remove the original eyeball diverter from
the return line at the pool by unscrewing the lock ring.
2. Replace with the Klever Kleena eyeball diverter.
3. Make sure the opening of the eyeball diverter points to the side, at
a ‘9 o’clock position’.
Usually, directing the return line water flow
against the side of the pool works best.
However, you may want to try pointing the flow
downward or in different positions to see which
works best in your pool.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the
pool pump on. the Klever Kleena should begin
moving across the pool floor vacuuming up
debris in its path.
If the Klever Kleena tracks in a repetitive pattern:
• Check the return line water ow and redirect as necessary with a return
line diverter (See “HOW TO ADJUST YOUR RETURN LINE WATER FLOW”)
• Check the Klever Kleena’s hose to ensure it has not become bent or
kinked. (Do not coil the hose. It will retain the coil shape and hinder
the cleaning coverage.) One way to check for kinks in your hose is to
disconnect each hose section and lay them flat on your pool surface
and look down the length of each hose. The hose should be perfectly
straight and float flat. If bends or kinks are present in a sectional hose,
replace those hose sections. The very best performance can only be
obtained using a Kreepy Krauly sectional hose.
• If your Klever Kleena continues to track in a repetitive pattern rotate the
hose from the skimmer box 90 to 180 degrees. This will help correct
any repetitive patterns.
MAINTENANCE
The Klever Kleena requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect your Klever
Kleena from time to time to make sure that:
1. The flapper is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
2. The vacuum pad not excessively worn. (When the traction pads on the
bottom have worn down, it is time for replacement).
3. Manually open and close the Auto Skim valve or KleverSkim Valve to
flush away accumulated dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation. We
recommend that you leave the Klever Kleena in your pool, except during
chemical shock treatments. When swimming it is easy to unplug the Klever
Kleena and pull it to one side. When storing the Klever Kleena, do not
coil the hose. It is best to lay the hose out flat in an area protected from
direct sunlight. Dismantle sectional hose for storage. To ensure optimum
performance from your Klever Kleena, we recommend the use of only
genuine Klever Kleena or Kreepy Krauly sectional hose.
Optimising Performance
Balance your Klever Kleena. The hose weight is used to sink the hose when
the Klever Kleena goes to the bottom of the deep end. The weight should be
adjusted approximately two to three metres from the Klever Kleena. When
the pump is OFF, the Klever Kleena should rest flat on its foot pad on the
bottom of the deep end of the pool.
Check your Klever Kleena’s ability to climb the pool walls. With the pool
pump on, use a pool brush to direct your Kleena Kleena towards a pool
wall. Observe whether the cleaner is able to move from the floor and climb
up the wall. Do this a few times because the cleaner’s steering may initially
turn it away from the wall. the Klever Kleena will require a generous curve to
be able to climb.
If the Klever Kleena climbs the wall:
1. It is normal for your Klever Kleena to climb to the water surface, protrude
its bumper or side above the water, then after a while, turn and move
along or down the wall.
2. If your Klever Kleena comes to the surface and sucks air, check that your
KleverSkim Valve is fitted. If it still sucks air, and you have other intake
points (like a skimmer or floor drain) gradually open the applicable gate
valve to bypass some water from the Klever Kleena. if this still has no
effect, you need to purchase a KleverSkim or inline regulator from your
Klever Kleena dealer.
If the Klever Kleena does NOT climb the wall:
1. Check that your lter and stainer baskets are clean.
2. Check your ltration system gate valves to ensure that all the water is
being drawn through the intake connected to your Klever Kleena.
3. If your suction is weak, call your Klever Kleena dealer in to check your
ltration system or call the Customer Helpline.
4. If you suction is good and your Klever Kleena still does not climb the wall,
the transition radius from the floor to the wall of your pool may be too
small. in this case, you have a square bottom pool. Refer to Section on
Square bottom Pools for further information.

which will hamper the performance of your new Klever Kleena. We only
recommend the use of Kreepy Krauly or Klever Kleena sectional hose.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Because of the individual characteristics of your pool, some additional
adjustments may be required to get the best performance from your
Klever Kleena.
Check these common causes of cleaner problems:
Is filter clean?
Clean filter
Is pump strainer basket clean?
Clean basket
Is debris blocking the bottom intake of the Klever Kleena?
Remove debris (see figure 7)
Are there any leaks in the hose?
Replace leaky section
Is automatic regulator valve free of debris?
Clean valve
Is the main drain closed?
Close main drain valve
If the Klever Kleena is not moving.
• Check to ensure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed,
except for the skimmer box or suction line to which the Klever
Kleena is attached.
• Check for debris in the lter or pump basket.
• Check for debris in the Klever Kleena’s apper. Debris may prevent
the flapper movement or restrict flow.
• Pool pump and lter system may be too small. Consult your pool
professional.
Square Bottom Pools
If the transition radius between the between your pool’s floor and wall is
small and your Klever Kleena is unable to climb the wall, then you have a
square bottom pool. Some square bottom pools (90º floor to wall angle)
may require the use of spacial bumper bar attachment which fits onto the
Klever Kleena swivel. the bumper is not included with your Klever Kleena,
but can be purchased from your Klever Kleena Dealer.

HOW MANY HOSE SECTIONS DO I NEED?
IMPORTANT: The pump must be on when you check the hose
length. The hose contracts when the pump is operating and will
look longer than when the pump is off.
Position the Klever Kleena at the far end of the pool from the
skimmer box. It is easy to position the Klever Kleena in the pool by
moving it about with your pool brush.
The Klever Kleena’s hose should be long enough to reach the
end of the furtherest corner of the pool plus one extra section.
Save any spare hose sections for use as future replacements.

pool uses, a different KleverSkim Adaptor will be required.
Ensure the water level of your pool is higher than the KleverSkim Valve to avoid
sucking air or vortexing.
INSTALLATION
The Klever Kleena is designed to work in a wide variety of swimming pools.
That’s why we’ve included certain items with your Klever Kleena. All may
or may not be needed, depending on the particular features of your pool.
The KleverSkim Valve ensures that the Klever Kleena operates at the proper
speed. It automatically adjusts to changes in the amount of water flow to
provide the cleaner with the power necessary to ensure proper cleaning
performance. Excess vacuum not required by the Klever Kleena will be utilised
for Simultaneous Surface Skimming

STEP 1 WHAT TO DO BEFORE
INSTALLING YOUR KLEVER KLEENA
Before assembling and installing your Klever Kleena your pool should be clean and algae-free so as
not to inhibit the cleaner’s traction. If necessary, make the following preparations before proceeding:
1. Chemically balance the pool water.
2. Brush pool and let the debris settle.
3. Hand vacuum thoroughly.
4. Clean pump strainer basket and skimmer basket.
5. Backwash Filter
6. Turn pool pump off.
STEP 3 CONNECTING YOUR HOSE
For Sectional Hose; Complete the assembly of the sectional hose by dampening the hose ends with
water and connecting a female end to the male end of the previous section for all sections with the
male and female end. Allow the hose sections to fill with water before connecting the next section. The
final Sectional Hose to be used should be the special male-male hose section which is used to connect
to your KleverKonecta.
For Kreepy Krauly Continuous Hose; Before using your Kreepy Krauly hose the hose will need to
be relaxed, this can be done by laying the hose flat in a straight line beside the pool on a warm day for
approximately an hour. Alternatively boiling water can be poured through the hose to speed the process
- This should be done with due care.
NOTES: If your pool depth is over two metres, install the hose weight approximately three metres
from the cleaner. The hose weight provided may not be necessary in shallow pools.
WARNING: For optimum cleaning performance, we recommend that you use Klever Kleena or
Kreepy Krauly sectional hose. We cannot guarantee the performance of the Klever Kleena using
your existing sectional or continuous hose.
STEP 4 CONNECTING YOUR CLEANER
Connect the KleverKonecta to the Klever Kleena and place Klever Kleena in
the water and allow it to fill with water before connecting the KleverKonecta
to the special male-male hose.
Your Klever Kleena is now ready to be used. Congratulations.

ATTENTION POOL BLANKET OWNERS
When a Pool Blanket is in use, carefully monitor your chlorine or salt
water chlorinator settings to avoid over chlorinating your pool which may
damage your Sprinta and void your Warranty.
The Pool Blanket prevents chlorine evaporating reducing the need to add
more chlorine. If you have a salt water chlorinator remember to lower the
amount of chlorine produced when the pool blanket is in use.
If you have any questions please call our Customer Service department
on 1800 777 255 or your local pool shop professional.
