11 - Soft Leader Hose - 1m section (1)
12 - Friction Pad Insert (For Tiled Pools Only)
*IMPORTANT:
Friction Pad Insert is only for use in fully tiled pools (tiled walls and floor) and only if necessary.
STEP 2:
Install the vacuum seal
•
Pull the vacuum seal over the cleaner’s foot pad so that it will fit properly into foot pad’s groove as shown in the
illustration.
•
Insure that curved tips face upwards.
•
Insure with your hand that vacuum seal rotates freely around the footpad.
STEP 3:
Prepare your pool
•
Vacuum clean your pool manually and assure that all large debris is removed.
•
Chemically balance and stabilize the pool water.
•
Clean your filter system.
•
Empty the skimmer basket and pump basket.
•
Empty the pump strainer basket.
•
STEP 4:
Close the main drain
•
Close the main drain with the pump valve to provide adequate suction for the cleaner
STEP 5:
Adjust the return line
IMPORTANT:
The cleaner must move randomly throughout the pool. Water circulating at the surface will influence the
hose thus limiting the cleaner’s coverage.
•
Adjust eyeball inlets such that water flow points downwards
•
To adjust the eyeball diverters, loosen the lock ring and redirect the eyeball diverters slightly downwards and also try
different directions to see what works best in your pool allow time for the body of water to settle into new pattern. (2)
STEP 6: Assemble the hose (3)
Connect together as many hose sections as needed to reach from the vacuum source to the furthest point of the pool,
plus one or two sections if your vacuum source is located in the center of your pool.
Leader hose must be attached directly to the pool cleaner.
STEP 7: Connection to a dedicated suction port
IMPORTANT:
Assure that your dedicated suction port is fitted with a safety vacuum lock fitting. If not, obtain one from
your local pool store and have it installed first. (4)
•
If your pool does not have a dedicated suction port; go to Step 8.
•
Insert the adjustable regulator valve (with cap) into the skimmer. Use the cone adapter if necessary. (5)
•
Fill the hose with water and connect the end of submerged hose into the safety vacuum lock fitting of your dedicated
suction port. (6)
STEP 8: Connection to a skimmer
•
If your pool does not have a dedicated suction port
•
Fill the hose with water and connect the end of submerged hose into the skimmer together with the adjustable
regulator valve. (7)
•
The regulator cap is not used in this installation
•
Use the cone adaptor if necessary
STEP 9: Connection to a skimmer - pool with two skimmer connections
•
If your pool has two skimmers select one skimmer for the cleaner and close off the other skimmer with the pump
valve.
•
Connect the end of submerged hose into selected skimmer as per step 8.
STEP 10: Adjust the flow
•
Insert the flow gauge at the end of the last section of submerged hose. (8)
•
With the pump running turn the adjustment knob of the regulator valve “Faster” or “Slower” until the disc indicator
in the flow gauge settles between “Maximum” and “Minimum” flow, indicated on the flow gauge. (9)
•
Note:
If you have very strong pump and the flow is still over the “Maximum” you may need to open the main drain
only slightly.
•
Turn the pump off. Remove the flow gauge and connect the cleaner to the end of the submerged leader hose. Then
turn the pump on.
•
Note:
Optimizing the water flow does not mean maximizing the flow through the cleaner. In fact, to assure a ran
-
dom pattern of travel that will enable the cleaner to reach all areas of your pool, it is better to use less suction, not
more.
