randomly throughout the pool. The coverage of the cleaner is dependent on the pool's shape and available
water flow. In some applications, adjustments may be necessary to optimize cleaning coverage.
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 to 8 ft. (1.5 to 2.5 m) from the cleaner.

Routine Maintenance

To maintain performance:
• Never coil the hose. Straighten a coiled hose with warm water or by laying it in the sun for a day.
A kinked or coiled hose will adversely effect the cleaner's coverage of the pool.
• When 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.

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.
