Aboveground Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
Eyeball Diverter Positions
The best position for the eyeball diverter will depend
on your pool’s design and shape. However, you
should follow the suggestions below to maximize the
effectiveness of your E-Z Vac
®
Aboveground Pool
Cleaner.
• Make sure the opening of the eyeball diverter points
to the side, at a “9 o’clock position”, before tightening
fully.
• In most cases, directing the return line water flow
against the side of the pool, as described above,
works best. However, you may want to try pointing the
flow downward or in different positions to see which
works best in your pool.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump on.
Your cleaner should begin moving across the pool floor
vacuuming up debris in its path.

Removing Debris from the Flapper
• Sometimes debris may clog the bottom of the cleaner and prevent
flapper movement or restrict flow. The flapper is located inside the main
body and must move freely at all times.
• You can see the flapper through the opening in the baffle plate, when
you turn the cleaner upside down as shown in
Figure 15
. Jiggle the
flapper with your finger or flush the cavity with a hose to force out any
debris lodged inside the main body.
• If debris is still lodged inside, you must remove the flapper. First, lift the
lip of the foot pad up and insert a flat-headed screwdriver along side one
of the two tabs found on either side of the baffle plate, see
Figure 16
.
Push the tab inward with the screwdriver until the baffle plate releases.
Place a finger into the center opening of the baffle plate and pull up
until it pops out. Then pull the flapper out.
NOTE: You should be able
to do this without taking the foot pad off
.
• Once the debris is dislodged, insert the flapper back into the main body and snap the baffle plate back into position. Be
sure that it is securely in place. See
Figure 16
.
