SECTION 4 – HOW TO KEEP YOUR
BARACUDA
®
PACER™ HAPPY
However good an automatic pool cleaner is, remember that it was developed to
assist you with the maintenance of your swimming pool.From time to time it will
need a little assistance from you.Here’s what you can do to help:
1. Weir basket,pump strainer basket,cartridge filter,skim filter,sand filter
(whichever is applicable) should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis to
ensure optimum pool cleaner efficiency.
NB: ALWAYS disconnect the hose from the weir or vacuum line
BEFORE backwashing your filter.
2. Always store your BARACUDA
®
hoses in a straight line – never coil or leave
hose coiled in the sun.
3. Periodically inspect parts for wear. The flexi-foot,disc, and deflector wheel
are the most critical. As the disc wears,it begins to curl at the outer edges.
When the depth of the channels between the treads on the flexi-foot are
3mm or less, replace the flexi-foot.
4. In the event of an object becoming stuck in the diaphragm,clear it quickly
and easily by following the simple instructions laid out for maintenance under
Section 3 – Removal and Refitting the Diaphragm.

on your automatic pool cleaner. To extend the lifespan of your BARACUDA
