STEP 5. Connect the Cleaner
1. Ensure that the flow regulator valve (FRV)
(c) is connected to the leader hose (h).
The leader hose (h) is the hose section
with foam float attached. Depending on
your hose type, you may also require the
FRV adapter (g) to connect (Figure 6).
2. Submerge the hose and flood with water
(no bubbles visible) (Figure 7).
3. Submerge the cleaner and flood with water
(no bubbles visible).
4. Connect the hose to the cleaner head by
pushing the flow regulator valve onto the
cleaner.
5. Ensure that the foam float is positioned
approximately 9" from the head of the
cleaner.
6. Allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of
the pool.

STEP 6. Test for Proper Flow
To avoid serious injury, make sure to turn off the suction pump that is responsible for the pool cleaner
operation. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to the open end of the hose.
The flow regulator valve (FRV) is designed to consistently limit high flow of water through the cleaner.
When flow is correct, the cleaner components are less susceptible to damage and the life of the cleaner
can be extended. Wheel rotation speed is a good indicator of how much water is flowing through the
cleaner. By checking for proper wheel rotation timing, you can verify the cleaner is operating at maximum
efficiency.
