Step 3: Connecting Hose Sections
1. After the hose sections have been cut to size,
reconnect them by pushing the hose end over the
barb on the swivel.
Note: Be sure to push the hose all the way to the
bottom of the barb.
2. Move the mender nut toward the hose by turning
clockwise and rotating until tight on hose. Use pliers
if needed.
Note: Be sure the same number of floats are left on
hose sections 2 and 3, as described in Step 2 on
page 3.
3. To check that the hose is cut to the correct length,
reconnect the hose and wall fitting to the wall
adaptor. Take the opposite end of the hose assembly
and walk to the farthest point of the pool from the
wall adaptor. The hose should reach the edge of
the pool but should not extend more than 6 inches
beyond the pool edge.
4. You can now connect the cleaner to the hose.
