Sweep Hose

• Sweep Hose Wear Rollers will experience wear when
o p e r ating in a plastered or concrete pool.
• When the Wear Rollers wear-down to the outer groove
( Wear Line) replace the Wear Rollers (P/N A X 5 0 0 6 A ) .
• Check the Sweep Hose for holes
(Replace if necessary with P/N: A X 5 0 0 0 R S H A ) .

Wear Line
(outer groove)
Some parts will wear with normal use. To ensure the high quality
p e r fo r m a n c e , insist on Genuine Hayward replacement parts
(using non-Hayward replacement parts will Void the
Phantom Cleaner's Wa r r a n t y ) . The following parts are user
r e p l a c e ab le and subject to normal wear and tear.
1 . Sweep Hose: If a hole forms in the Sweep Hose, it should
be replaced. Unscrew the metal mender nut from the hose
and pull the Sweep Hose (Sweep Hose Replacement Part
N u m b e r : AX5000RSHA) off the Cleaner Connector. Attach a
new Sweep Hose to the Cleaner Connector.
2 . Large Capacity Debris Bag with Float: The Debris Bag
should be replaced if it is torn (Replacement Part Number:
A X 6 0 0 0 B A ) .
3 . S w i v e l s : If a swivel ceases to turn easily or leaks while
the cleaner is running, it should be replaced.
Use Only Genuine Hayward Replacement Parts.

Storing the Phantom Cleaner

Storing the Phantom Cleaner
1 . Turn the Booster Pump OFF and set the timer so the
Booster Pump will not turn on while the Phantom cleaner is
out of the pool (N e v e r o p e r ate the Booster Pump without
the cleaner connected).
2 . Disconnect Wall Quick Connect from the Universal Wa l l
F i t t i n g . The Universal Wall Fitting may be left in place.
3 . The cleaner is constructed of the finest materials av a i l ab l e ,
however we recommend that when the Phantom cleaner is
removed from the pool, it should be stored fl at on its wheels
in a shaded area to protect the unit form excessive exposure
to sunlight.
4 . Store the Sweep Hose and the Hose Cleaner End A s s e m b l y
(Part S) straight and fl at , not coiled. The Rigid Hose Pipe
Sections may be folded on one another, so that the short
hoses in-between are bent. If possible, store the hoses in
the shade.
Winterizing the Cleaner
When closing your pool for the winter completely drain the wat e r
from the Phantom Cleaner (by slowing rotating it in all directions)
and Hoses. Store the Phantom Cleaner indoors to prevent
freezing of the inner mechanisms.

Periodic Freezing Conditions

If you are in an area subject to periodic freezing conditions, b u t
pool equipment is kept in operat i o n , it is very important that the
f i l t r ation system and Phantom cleaner be in operation during
times when hard freezing occurs (normally between 3 AM and
7 A M ) . Running the Phantom cleaner at this time will ensure
against damaging the Cleaner and may prevent freezing the
pool wat e r.
