Unlike other competitive automatic pool cleaners, the
RANGER
™
has the Quick Access Cassette System. This
unique feature allows almost instantaneous access to the
one moving part – the diaphragm.
Large foreign objects, such as children’s toys, tree
branches and rocks, should be removed manually from
your pool prior to operating an automatic pool cleaner. In
the event a foreign object does not get manually removed
and a blockage occurs, the Quick Access Cassette System
allows you the opportunity to remove the blockage or
check the diaphragm for damage in minutes at poolside.
STEP 1. REMOVAL OF DIAPHRAGM
Holding the frame assembly in one hand, grasp the cass-
estte handnut firmly and turn it counter-clockwise (Figure
1). Pull the complete cassette out of the frame (Figure 2).
Holding the cassette at each end, unscrew the cassette pipe
from the diaphragm chamber two full turns (Figure 3).
Grasp the lip of the diaphram and pull the diaphram out.
(The inner pipe will be attached and will make a loud
noise Figure 4). Pull the diaphram off of the inner pipe,
leaving the retaining ring on the diaphram (Figure 5).
STEP 2. EXAMINATION
Inspect the diaphragm for the blockage or damage. If
damage is evident, i.e., a cut or hole on the sides of the
diaphragm, return it, along with head of the unit
(excluding hoses), to your authorized Baracuda
warranty station for replacement.
If a blockage is apparent, grasp it and remove it. If this can’t
be done, a garden hose may be used to flush the obstacle
through. Do not use any sharp objects to probe or push
an obstruction as this may damage the diaphragm.
