Maintenance
• Check the Suction Seal for wear. If it becomes thin and too fl oppy, it will impair the
correct random movement of the pool cleaner and should be replaced.
• Check the footpad. It is a wearing part and should be replaced when worn.
• Inspect the Regulator Valve and fl ush away any debris build up.
• Clean your fi lter system.
• Empty the Skimmer Basket.
• Empty the Strainer Basket.
• Use your Flow Gauge to insure correct water fl ow for your Cleaner.
• For best results and to maintain proper operation, use only original hoses.
NOTE: Remove the Hammer Head pool cleaner from the pool before the chemical
shock treatment! When not in the pool, keep the Hammer Head pool cleaner’s
Suction Seal fl at to avoid warping.
• When people are using the pool, disconnect the Cleaner and pull it to one
side of the pool.
• When storing or winterizing the Hammer Head, do not coil the hose. Lay the hose
fl at in an area protected from direct sunlight. It is also important to remove the
Suction Seal from the Hammer Head and store it fl at.
• Leaf catcher - If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we suggest
purchasing and installing a leaf catcher. a leaf catcher will provide more debris
loading capacity and also provides a water by-pass when the leaf bag is full.
It is very important that the pump will not starve for water!
