STEP 1 ATTACH THE SEAL To install the seal locate the word “UP”. Face it up towards the body of the cleaner. Gently stretch the seal over the foot pad of the cleaner until it sets itself into the groove as illustrated in figure 2. Once in place the seal should rotate and move freely. NOTE The seal is not reversible. It must be installed with the flat side facing down towards the pool liner and the pleated side facing upwards towards the cleaner.
STEP 4 ASSEMBLE THE HOSE Your cleaner hose comes in 3’ sections which must be connected together. The hoses are connected by inserting the male cuff of one section of hose into the female cuff of another. Twist the sections of hose together until you establish a snug fit (See figure 5). You will need to assemble enough sections of hose to reach from where the cleaner connects to your skimmer to the opposite end of the pool, plus one section.
Once fully assembled, your Automatic Pool Cleaner should look like this....... I N S TA L L AT I O N Your automatic pool cleaner is designed to work in a wide variety of swimming pools. There are items that may or may not be needed to be installed for your cleaner to function properly. All installations are covered in this manual. Find which type of installation matches your pool configuration and follow the instructions carefully.
HOSE BALANCE You will also need to attach hose weights to neutralize the hose’s buoyancy in the water. For inground pools all three weights are typically needed. The first weight should be placed on the fist section of hose between 4 and 12 inches from the body’s swivel head. The next two weights should be positioned 6 feet and 10 feet from the body respectively. The hose weights may need to be adjusted depending on the style of your pool.
If debris is still lodged inside the cleaner, you must remove the flapper. To do this you must take out the four red plugs in the foot pad. These are found on the bottom of the cleaner. They can be removed using a flat head screwdriver. Underneath there will be four screws. Unscrew them and remove the foot pad from the main body. Once removed there is a plate. Remove the single screw from this plate and slide it out of the main body. This will expose the flapper and it can be pulled out.
