REPLACING THE DIAPHRAGM
The diaphragm of your pool cleaner operates at the rate of approximately 360 beats per minute. If
your pool cleaner operates daily for 8 hours, the diaphragm will open and close over60 million
times in a year! The design has been perfected over many years and, properly cared for; the
diaphragm will last for several seasons. In the event that it does become worn or damaged and
needs to be replaced, simply follow these easy steps:
1. Unscrew the HAND NUT and remove it, together with the OUTER EXTENSION PIPE and
the THRUST WASHER. Place these items to one side.
2. Hold the INNER EXTENSION PIPE (IEP) and gently pull it towards you. This pulls the tabs out
of their recess.
3. Turn the INNER EXTENSION PIPE so the tabs line up with the holes in the IEP
LOCATOR.
Do not remove the INNER EXTENSION PIPE from the BODY
