not receive any voltage when it is not in use, and a 30 mA differential for discharge protection.

The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for assembly, installation or start-up of any electric components which have been

inserted or handled at locations other than its own premises.

3. INSTALLATION:

This equipment is easy to install and can be assembled by AN ADULT in around ½ HOUR, taking care to correctly follow the

instructions detailed in this manual at all times.

Place the Skim-filter facing the dominant winds, so that th ese help to carry the dirt which remains on the surface of the pool towards the filter.

The transformer should be located at least 3.5 m from the edge of the pool. (Fig. 2).

INSTALLATION OF SUPPORT FOR SHEET SWIMMING POOL OR TUBULAR

Insert the support ar m (No.11) in the housing for the support clamp (No. 10) of the Skim-filter (Fig. 3).

Insert the feed cable in the housings on the inside of the support arm (No. 11) of the Skim -filter. Ensure that it is firmly secured.

Place the Skim-filter unit and the pl astic support unit (No. 11) on the edge of the swimming pool (Fig. 4).

Place the two nuts in the housings of the support sealing clamp.

Insert the two screws from inside the swimming pool and tighten them firmly.

Balance the apparatus so that it is level on the vertical plane.

INSTALLATION OF SUPPORT FOR SELF -SUPPORTING SWIMMING POOL

Insert the rod for self-supporting swimming pools (No6) in the housing of the support clamp (No. 9) for the Skim-filter (Fig.3)

Secure the rod (No. 6) with both rod securing units (No.8).

Place the Skim-filter unit and the support rod on the edge of the swimming pool (Fig. 4).

Balance the apparatus so that it is level on the vertical plane.

4. ASSEMBLY:

LEVELLING AND SECURING THE SKIM -FILTER

For proper operation of the appar atus, it must be correctly levelled.

Turn the handle of the snap-off closure (No. 4) until it reaches the position "open" (Fig. 9). Let the Skim -filter slide down through the flange until

the float (No. 5) remains hanging in the water (about half way down) (Fig. 6).

Once it has reached that position, fix the Skim -filter by turning the handle of the snap- off closure (No. 4) towards the "close" position (Fig. 9)

SELF-SUPPORTING SWIMMING POOL

NF C15-100

Move the two fixing nuts (No. 8) of the Skim-filter support until they reach the closure flange. Then screw them in strongly. Lean the Skim-filter

slightly and fix the cable in the rear part of the Clamp support.

FILTRATION

The Skim-filter is designed to suck in and hold the impurities floating in the pool water. After an initial filtration treatment (until the pool water is

clean), the full volume of the pool should be recirculated once daily.

The component which cleans the water is the filtering cartridge (No. 3) located inside the Skim -filter. This is formed by a cloth with a very fine

stitch which holds the dirtiness.

Depending on the dirtiness, hours of filtration and pool volume, the filtering cartridge (No. 3) may require cleaning with more or less regularity.

When you notice that the amount of water returned to inside of the pool decreases, then the filtering cartridge should be cleaned.

Filtering requirements depend on the volume in m

of water of the swimming pool in relation to the m

the model AR-121 or AR-124.

Turn the motor off for at least 2 hours between operation intervals.

Volume of swimming pool in m

Flow of filter in m

The aforementioned off time should be followed in the initial filtering treatment. It is recommended to increase the filtering time as the water

temperature of the pool increases.

NEVER PLACE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THE BASKET OR THROUGH THE SPONGES OR CARTRIDGE, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE

MATERIALS OF THE APPARATUS AND REDUCE ITS EFFECTIVENESS.

DO NOT USE FLOCCULANT!

5. MAINTENANCE:

CLEANING THE FILTERING CARTRIDGE

Disconnect the power outlet apparatus and remove it from the swimming pool.

Pull the float (No. 5) hard and remove it from the tube and extract the cartridge (No. 1) from inside. Place the cartridge under low pressure

running water (not a jet) from a hose until the filter is clean (Fig. 5).

Before replacing the cartridge (No. 3) use the hose to clean out the inside of the Skim-filter (Fig. 7) and make sure the cartridge is replaced

correctly centered and pushed down until the cartridge is firmly in place (Fig. 8). Once everything has been reassembled correctly replace the

Skim -filter back into the pool

After several washing cycles, it may be necessary to change the filtering cartridge. To do this, call the swimming pool manufacturer on the

number indicated in the instructions.

6. CLEANING THE BOTTOM OF THE SWIMMING POOL

The equipment with the AR -2062 pool floor cleaner accessory can be used to clean the bottom of the swimming pool.

Consult your dealer or the After -sales Service of the pool manufacturer.

Always use original spare parts.

Efficiency is reduced if a longer hose than necessary is used to reach all points of the swimming pool. Cut any excess hose.

CONNECTING THE FLOOR CLEANER TO THE EQUIPMENT:

Remove th e float of the skimfilter, place the suction cover accessory (no. 12) on the upper part of the skimfilter with the intake facing upwards

and submerge the skimmer inside the pool so that the suction cover does not intake air.

Prime the hose as follows: With the pole and the hose connected, place the floor cleaner slowly inside the pool vertically letting it fill with water

and keeping the rest of the hose out of the water. Gradually place the hose in the water until it completely fills with water. The flo or cleaner will

not suction unless the hose is fully primed, which could damage the equipment if it operates with no air.

Connect it to the suction cover intake, taking care that air does not enter. The hose and the cover connection should always be submerged to

avoid air from entering.

Start-up the equipment and clean the swimming pool floor.

7. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
