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:
- 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.
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.
