The yellow wheel speed indicator is simply a visual reference to help you measure how fast the cleaner’s wheels are turning so you can set the flow correctly through the MX Flow Regulator.
In practice, you:
So the yellow piece doesn’t “do” anything mechanically; it just makes it easy to see and count rotations so you can dial the flow in for proper cleaning and to avoid over‑driving and wearing out the cleaner.
In practice, you:
- Hold the cleaner head under water with the pump running.
- Watch the yellow indicator on the wheel and count a set number of rotations (usually 10) with a stopwatch.
- Compare that time to the range in the manual (e.g., “10 revolutions in about 20–25 seconds”).
- If it’s too fast, you reduce flow at the regulator/valves; if it’s too slow, you increase flow.
