 Installation and User’s Guide

Assemble the Hose

Connect the Hose Sections

For best results and to maintain proper operation, use only original
hoses, or direct replacements, (see Replacement Parts page).

1.

A special “leader” hose section (12 inches long) is
designed to connect to the cleaner and is marked with a
red label,

 (see Figures 3 & 4).  Failure to use this leader hose

section 

will hinder your cleaner’s performance

.

2. Connect the hose sections by twisting and pushing the female

ends onto the male ends after wetting the ends in the pool,
(see Figure 5).

3. Make sure the connections are snug. The number of sections

that you will need depends on the size of your pool.

4. The overall length of hose needed will be the distance from:

the point at which you attach the hose to the suction
connection, to the furthest point in the pool, plus one
hose length, plus the leader hose, (see Figure 6).
