About your Pool and Filter System • Before you install the cleaner, make sure you have cleaned the filter (including backwashing) and emptied all baskets. • Always make sure hose and cleaner are full of water before starting pump. Running pump dry may cause overheating and damage pump. • The cleaner is designed to maintain a clean pool. It was not designed for initial cleanup when opening pool for the season.

More About the Cleaner and Accessories: Swivel Assembly: • Insert assembly into cleaner body and turn 1/4 turn clockwise. • If you attach a unidapt handle to the swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure it is a special, floating unidapt handle (order No. GW9019; purchase locally). Use of a different unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner’s performance. Hose: 4' 20' 8' • The unit includes a 20’ hose, an 8’ hose, and a 4’ hose which will provide excellent coverage in pools up to 27’.
