Operation
The regulator is adjustable. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase suction, and counter-clockwise to decrease
suction.
Make sure the vacuum regulator is submerged at all
times. If not, the pump will suck air through the regulator
and lose prime. This could damage the pump.
Vac Port Fitting (Figure 18)
Suction entrapment,
injury, and drowning hazard. If your
pool has a dedicated suction port
("vac port") for vacuuming or for an
automatic pool cleaner, it must be
covered when not in use.
A spring loaded safety cover (the
"Vac Port Fitting") is included with
your pool cleaner. Install it on the
suction port to prevent entrapment and injury. For details
please refer to the Vac Port instruction sheet included
with your Vac Port.
ABOUT BUMPER INSERTS
Bumper Inserts (see Key 2A, Page 13) help to make the
cleaner more buoyant to allow better access to the shal-
low end of the pool. Do not install inserts from the top;
they will become jammed and not work properly. Only
install inserts from the bottom.
If the bumper on the cleaner appears to lift the cleaner to
the surface of the pool, check for trapped air in the
cleaner and hose. If no air is found, remove one bumper
insert block and watch and see if the cleaner remains
submerged and on the pool floor while working. If not,
remove individual insert blocks as needed until the
cleaner rests on the pool floor and operates properly.
ABOUT DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove swivel assembly (Figure 19) from the top of
the cleaner by turning it 1/4-turn counterclockwise

2 clips on the oscillator chamber cap (Figure 20A);
lift it off.
4. Pull the long gear shaft straight up (Figure 20A) by the
blocks on the ends of the shaft. Hold the seals in the
oscillator and the blocks on the shaft. The cam may
interfere with the shaft mounting post; if so, turn it
slightly on the shaft until it clears the post. The shaft
assembly can now be disassembled (Figure 20B).
