2. If your Ray-Vac hoses are the correct length,
proceed to Section 5, "Speed Adjustment Booster
Pump Installation" or Section 6, "Speed
Adjustment Non-Booster Pump Installation."
3. If your Ray-Vac hoses are NOT the correct
length, use one of the following steps to correct
the hose length:
a. If the hose length is
too long, remove 3' hose
sections as required to shorten the hose.
Follow hose section numbering for order of
removal when you must remove more than
one section.
b. If the pool size is 20' x 40' or greater and the
cleaner hose requires seven 5/8" hose
sections or more to size the cleaner correctly
to the pool, you must set the floatation as
follows: Starting at the finger screen case
there must be two (2) floats on all sections,
except the section nearest the hydro-timer.
The hose section nearest the hydro-timer
should have one (1) float in the center of the
hose. If your Ray-Vac requires eight (8)
sections or more, a booster pump may be
needed. Consult your pool professional.
c. If the pool size is 15' x 30' or less, all sections
between the hydro-timer and the wall mount
should now have two (2) floats.
