- 1). Turn the timer's power to "Off" prior to making any changes to the timer. There should be a switch labeled "Main" or "Power" that controls all the power to the timer.
- 2). Locate the arrow that points to the current time. Be sure that this is set correctly, since the rest of the timer setting depends on this clock being correct. The time of day is normally indicated by a single pointer that appears different from the other indicators on the dial or an inner arrow that points to the time from the center of the timer. This indicator should be labeled as "Time" or "Time of Day." It will usually only rotate in one direction -- clockwise -- and you may have to lift it slightly in order to set it.
- 3). Set the time the timer will come on by moving the "On" switch or arrow to the time you want the timer to turn on. Depending on the type of timer you are setting, you may need to loosen a screw or lift the arrow in order to be able to move the indicator. This indicator should be labeled "On" and may also be green in color. When it is in place, fit it down against the dial or tighten the screw loosened earlier.
- 4). Identify the time the timer should turn off by moving the final indicator, which will be red and labeled "Off," to the time you want the pool sweep to turn off. You can move it in the same fashion as the "On" indicator. Make sure it is secured in place to complete the process and switch the timer power to back on.
