HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SKOOBA MAX™

When your SKOOBA MAX™ is ready, turn your pump ON

and start using SKOOBA™MAX to clean the bottom of your pool.

Your SKOOBA MAX™ 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 MAX™ 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 EMPTY THE PRE-FILTER BAG OF

SKOOBA MAX™

WARNING! Turn off the pump before

emptying the pre-filter bag.

1. Remove the hood from the cleaner by turning it

anticlockwise until it stops and then take it off

from the main body. (Fig.8)

2. Pull out the pre-filter bag from the cleaner and

remove the leaves and other debris. (Fig.9)

Rinse the cover and make sure its suction hole

is not clogged.

3. Put back the pre-filter bag into the cleaner. Make

sure the notch under the top ring covers the edge

around the opening of the cleaner. (Fig.10) If

pre-filter bag is damaged, replace a new one

before next operation.

4. Align the rid (on the inside surface of hood bottom)

to the slot on the opening of the main body, press

down the hood and turn it clockwise

until it stops.

Make sure the hood is secured on the cleaner

before next operation. (Fig.11)

HOW TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES

Lift either end of the brush and then take the brush

completely out from the chamber.

NOTE: Do not pull the bristles forcibly. If it is hard to

take out the brush after lifting the brush end,

use a clamp (not included) to hold the brush

base and then pull the brush completely from

the notch. (Fig.12)

Align the curvature of the new brush to the notch on cleaner head. Insert either end of the brush

to the notch and under the hook and then press the other end into the notch. (Fig.13)

HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR SKOOBA MAX™

1. Align the rib of the suction head / 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)

Note: For pools with small filtration flow rate

(eg. 2.0m³/h / 530gal/h), or for cleaning

corners of pools, use flat nozzle instead

of suction head.

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)

3. Insert the grooved end of assembled poles into

the main body securely. (Fig.3)

ASSEMBLE THE HOSE TO THE MAIN BODY

Assemble the hose by connecting all hose sections

with hose 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 MAX™ TO THE POOL OUTLET

WARNING!

TURN OFF the pump before connecting

SKOOBA MAX™ 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.

(

)

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

Suction head

does move not

smoothly

Hose collapse

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Possible Cause

Pre-filter bag is full.

Not enough suction

power.

Obstruction somewhere

in the system.

Suction nozzle is blocked.

Rolling ball is

jammed.

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 (530gal/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.

Push the rolling ball out from the cavity by inserting a small tool to the small hole

on the top of ball cavity.

Clean it out and push it back into the cavity after cleaning.

Check if your pump power is over 0.5HP/ 375W and /or filtration system flow is

over 1,300gal/5m³.
