MORE ABOUT THE CLEANER
AND ACCESSORIES
Swivel Assembly
Insert assembly into cleaner body and turn
1/4 turn clockwise.
If you attach a unidapt handle to the swivel
for manual vacuuming (see Page 7), be sure
it is a special, floating unidapt handle (order
No. AT5119 – purchase locally). Use of a different
unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner's performance.
Hose
The unit includes a 20' hose, an 8' hose,
and a 4' hose, which will provide excellent
4'
coverage in pools up to 27'.
For pools larger than 27', add an 8' exten-
sion hose. (Order No. AT5811; purchase
20'
locally).
For pools smaller than 24', try the three
hoses together. If this is too long, remove
the 4' section; if still too long, remove the
8'
8' section and reattach the 4' section; then
try the 20' section by itself.
Best length of hose is 5-8' longer than the
distance from the skimmer (suction port) to
the furthest point in the pool.
The hose was designed specifically for the cleaner.
Use of a different type of hose will reduce the cleaner's
performance.
Reducer Cone
Adapts hose to some skimmers.
Keeps hose in place in skimmer when pump
stops.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at
Automatic Vacuum Regulator
or tear hair or body parts. Install vacuum
regulator on all high-vacuum systems.
Every system requires a vacuum regulator
for safe operation.
Regulator provides vacuum relief in case
cleaner suction is blocked.
Black rubber diaphragm must always be submerged. If it
sucks air, the pump will lose prime, which could damage
the pump.
Flow Director
Install the flow director only if your existing
inlet fitting in pool does not give the desired
results.
For best cleaning action, angle the flow
down 45° in a fan out from pool side
(see illustration at right).
BRUSH ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE: Bristle wear, pool bottom, temperature, etc.,
will all affect cleaner operation.
Use these general guidelines to adjust your cleaner for
best performance.
