MAINTENANCE
This section describes the service and maintenance of the Great White
®
II Automatic Pool Cleaner.
Hazardous suction. Stop pump before attempting to clean pool cleaner.
• Keep skimmer basket and pump strainer basket clean and free of debris.
• If cleaner jams with large debris (leaves, sticks, etc.), try cleaning debris first from bottom of unit. If this
doesn’t clear unit, remove top swivel assembly (turn 1/4 turn) and clear the debris from the top.
• Remove the pool cleaner from the pool before super chlorinating (shocking) or chemical balancing. Wait
at least four hours after the chemical procedure before reinstalling the cleaner.
• Make sure that the cleaner’s brush bristles don’t become deformed during storage. Store the unit so that
it doesn’t sit on the bristles and so that nothing compresses them.
• Do not coil the hose. Remove the hose from the cleaner when removing the cleaner from the pool. Store
the hose flat and straight.
• Periodically examine bristles and vacuum skirt for wear or distortion. Replace if necessary. See
“Reassembly”, Page 10.
• Don’t store the cleaner with the hose connected to the cleaner body or with the hose coiled. To do so will
cause the hose to take a set or kink over a period of time. When reinstalled in the pool, the hose will tend
to stay coiled and will cause the cleaner to malfunction.
• If the hose has taken a set, uncoil it as far as possible without damaging it and lay it out in the sun
for several hours to straighten itself. Once it has relaxed and straightened out, store it laid out flat and
straight (no coiling).
• Make sure the lift brush is retracted during storage. If the lift brush is down during storage and the
cleaner rests on it, the brush bristles will collapse over time and the cleaner will no longer turn during
operation as it was designed to do.
Hose Storage
Correct: Hose stored correctly –
laid out straight, not connected to
cleaner.
Wrong: Storing cleaner with hose
connected will damage hose and
void the hose warranty.
