HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SKOOBA™

When your SKOOBA™ is ready, turn your pump ON and start using SKOOBA™ to clean the

bottom of your pool.

Your SKOOBA™ is made to vacuum debris from the bottom of your pool. The internal pre-filter

bag is designed to trap leaves and larger debris, which could otherwise clog the filter of your

pool. Make sure to empty this pre-filter bag regularly to ensure the maximum

suction power.

NOTE: Never use your SKOOBA™ without the pre-filter bag. Failure to do so may clog the

filter of your pool.

For vinyl liner and fiberglass pool, it is recommended to keep the brush on the flat

nozzle to avoid damaging to the pool.

IMPORTANT: Trapped air in your vacuum system may prevent the pump from operating

correctly. In this case, if your pump has a release valve, open it to let air escape

until only water comes out from it and then close the valve.

Check pump manual how to remove the air.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR SKOOBA™

1. Align the rib of the flat nozzle to the notch on

the nozzle of cleaner hood and then slide the

suction head to the hood until it stops. (Fig.1)

2. Select a sufficient number of the pole

sections to

suit your pool size. Total length

should allow both

hands to grip during operation. Assemble the pole

sections by inserting the grooved end of one section

into the round end of the next one, finishing

with the

last section that has the plastic grip. Slide together

until grooved area is fully inserted. (Fig.2)

Insert the grooved end of assembled poles

into the

main body securely.

(Fig.3)

ASSEMBLE THE HOSE TO THE

MAIN BODY

NOTE: For 3 short hose sections, connect them with

the hose section connectors provided. (Fig.4)

It is recommended to do this underwater to remove

all entrapped air.

Tips: To remove entrapped air in the hose, place the

hose cuff towards the pool water inlet hole to let

water flow in and push out the entrapped air.

After assembling all hose sections, immerse the main

body under the water. When bubbles stop coming

from the main unit, connect the open end of the hose

to the hose cuff of the body and slide on as far as it

can go. (Fig.5)

CONNECT SKOOBA™ TO THE POOL OUTLET

WARNING! TURN OFF the pump before

connecting SKOOBA™ to the pool outlet.

1) If you have a surface wall skimmer:

Take the open end of the hose and connect

it onto

the vacuum plate of your skimmer.

Slide the hose as far as it can go and apply

clamp (not

included) to secure it on the vacuum plate. (Fig.6)

2) If you have a wall skimmer, check your pool manual

pool dealer for instructions on how to remove the

skimmer

weir. Place a skimmer vacuum plate (not

included, check

with your pool dealer for the correct

model with a cuff

connection to fit a 1¼in / 32mm soft

hose) over the skimmer

filter basket. Connect the

open end of the hose to the

vacuum plate cuff, and

slide it on as far as it can go.

(Fig.7)

IMPORTANT! Make sure the pool water level is over the

vacuum plate, otherwise it will suck-in air during operation.

NOTE: The vacuum plate

shown in (Fig.7) diagrams is for

demonstration only. Please

contact your pool dealer for the

correct model.

A vacuum plate with a 90 degree

elbow is recommended.

If you don’t have a wall skimmer:

5 connectors (G1/G2/G3/G4/G5) are provided in the kit to fit the 9 most common types of

strainer (see below) used in above ground pools. According to the strainer used in your

pool, select and attach the correct one to the strainer.

Tighten by hand only.

NOTE: For above ground pools with 2 pool water outlets, while connecting the cleaner to one of

the water outlets according to the cleaner instruction manual, follow pool instruction

manual to block the other water outlet. For example, use pool plug to block the outlet or

set the control valve (eg. plunger valve) if available to the closed position. Otherwise, it will

weaken the water flow inside the cleaner and then adversely affect the cleaner performance

such as capturing less debris.

WARNING! Turn off the pump before

closing the water outlet.

Problem

Poor debris pick-up

Hose collapse

Possible Cause

Pre-filter bag is full.

Not enough suction

power.

Obstruction

somewhere in the

system.

Suction nozzle is

blocked.

Suction is too

strong.

Solution

Clean the pre-filter bag.

Make sure that your pool pump

power is at

least 45W, and minimum system flow rate is

2.0m³/hr (530 gal/hr). Make sure the hose is

free of punctures.

Check if there are two water outlets on your

pool and make sure the water outlet which is

connected with cleaner is opened and the

other water outlet is closed.

Clean the pump filter. Clean out any debris

from the hose. Replace a damaged pre-filter

bag that lets debris through.

Check and clean out any debris from the

nozzle.

Check if your pump power is over 0.5HP/ 375W

and /or filtration system flow is over 1,300gal/5m³.
