4 ™ How your Prowler 710 Cleaner works The patented built in pump motor provides the power for your cleaner’s jet drive propulsion and hydroscrubbing jets. The hydroscrubbing jets, directed at the pool surface under your cleaner, stir up dirt and debris for easy vacuuming by the cleaner’s suction power. All dirt from leaves to algae is collected in the internal filter bag for easy removal. A simple patented axle tilting system allows your cleaner to alternate between straight and curved movement

8 Adjusting the Timing Cycle The Time Control Dial located on the front panel of the Power Supply can be adjusted to allow more or less time between the cleaner's forward and reverse motion, see Figure 8. Set your cleaner's Time Control Dial to 30 seconds. The goal is to have your cleaner move across your pool at its widest point, from one side to the other and wait at both sides for approximately 2 seconds before reversing. If this doesn't happen adjust the Time Control Dial accordingly. NOTE:

9 The Cleaning Motion in the Pool The size of your pool, and the amount of debris in it, will determine the length of time required to clean the pool. The time required may vary up to two hours. If the cleaner typically reaches the waterline at each side as it is supposed to, but begins to slow down considerably (constantly reverses direction before reaching the sides of the pool) or is unable to climb the walls of the pool, it is sending a signal that it’s time to clean the Filter Bag.

11 In-Season Storage WARNING — Do not allow swimmers in the pool while your pool cleaner is in the pool. Cable can trip or entangle swimmers which could result in drowning. Do not leave your cleaner in the pool when not in use. Doing so, will reduce the life of your Filter Bag and cleaner. After removing your cleaner from the pool you should clean and re-install the Filter Bag.

13 Section 3 Troubleshooting Use the following troubleshooting information to resolve possible problems with your Prowler™ 710 pool cleaner. Problem Corrective Action Slower motion or inefficient vacuuming. Check to see if the Filter Bag is thoroughly clean. FYI: The Fine Filter Bag is capable of filtering particles 20 times smaller than the naked eye can see. Therefore, thorough cleaning of the bag may be required! NOTE: Use the Fine Filter Bag to trap smaller debris such as algae, bacteria, sa

14 Problem Corrective Action Does not reverse direction. Take a garden hose with high pressure, spray into the Valve Housing at each Valve Port opening, (Figure 2, Item 9). This should free the Jet Valve System of any debris. If this does not solve the problem, firmly grab hold of both of your cleaner’s Handles (Figure 2, Item 5) and forcefully dunk the cleaner in and out of the pool several times to flush out the dirt causing the problem. If debris is still lodged (such as sand or dirt) or ther
