Owner’s Manual
Operation and Maintenance
Fine Tuning Cleaner Performance
The DC33 cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump vacuuming and cleaning all surfaces randomly throughout
the pool. The coverage of the cleaner is dependent on the pool’s shape and available water flow. In some pools,
adjustments may be necessary to optimize cleaning coverage.

Properly Balanced Hose
A properly balanced hose will create a 45º angle to
the cleaner and the bottom of the pool.
In pools 8 ½ ft. (2.5 m) or deeper, an extra hose
weight (part #W83247) may be necessary. Attach
the extra weight 5 - 8 ft. (1.5 - 2.5 m) from the
cleaner.
Return Line Installed
A return line can be used to guide the cleaner
away from steps or areas with V-shaped
corners, and reduce patterning.
Direct the return line to gently push the cleaner
hose by positioning the return directional eyeball
so it aims towards the wall on the opposite side
of the pool. Adjust until surface movement is
visible 8 ft. (2.5 m) out from the return.
In this example, any return within the grey area
can be used.
Routine Maintenance
To maintain performance:
• Never coil the hose. Straighten coiled or kinked hoses with warm water or by laying hoses straight in the sun
for several hours until heated, then reshape manually.
A kinked or coiled hose will adversely affect the
cleaner’s coverage of the pool.
• When the cleaner is not in the pool, keep the disc flat to avoid warping.
• Periodically inspect cleaner parts for wear. Replace the footpad when the depths of the channels between
the treads are 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) or less.
• Thoroughly clean the skimmer basket, pump basket and filter regularly.
• Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall or skimmer before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.
After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes before re-connecting
the cleaner.
