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)
3. 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
or 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.
3) 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.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SKOOBA™
When your SKOOBA™ is ready, turn your pump ON and start using SKOOBA™ to clean the
Fig.4
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
HOW TO EMPTY THE PRE-FILTER BAG OF SKOOBA™
WARNING!
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)
Fig.6
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.
Fig.7
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)
