DORADO™ Automatic Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
Attaching Swivel Assembly to Cleaner Head
Installing the swivel assembly is a snap. Just insert it into the Dorado™ Automatic
Pool Cleaner body and give it a quarter turn (Figure 3).
If you attach a unidapt handle to the swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure it is the
special, floating unidapt handle provided with the cleaner (Replacement Part No.
GW9019). Use of a different unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner’s performance.
Assembling the Hose
The cleaner includes twelve sections of hose, each 40 in. (1.02 m) in length
(Figure 4). Do not cut the hose lengths. You will need to connect these 40”
sections of hose to create a combined hose length that is at least 4 ft. (1.22
m) longer than the distance from your suction source (whether skimmer or
dedicated suction line) to the farthest point in the pool (Figure 5).
Connect the hoses by twisting and pushing the female ends onto the male
ends after wetting the ends in the pool (Figure 6).
A special “leader” hose section is designed to connect to the cleaner’s swivel assembly and therefore has a
larger hose cuff than the other hose lengths (Figures 7 and 8). Failure to use this leader hose section to attach
the hose to the cleaner’s swivel assembly will hinder your cleaner’s performance. If additional hose is needed, use
only hoses from your Pentair Water Pool and Spa dealer (order replacement part No. 41200-0131). Use of another
manufacturer’s hose will hinder cleaner coverage.
Hose must equal longest stretch — —
plus at least 4 feet.
