KREEPY KRAULY
®
PLATINUM
™
INSTALLATION MANUAL
F. Checking Operation
When operating correctly, the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
will travel in a random pattern throughout
the pool, vacuuming and sweeping the bottom. The
climbing ability of the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
is
dependent on the pools structure and water flow
coming into the pool. It will perform more efficiently
in pools without sharp angles or curves in the
transition from the floor of the pool to the wall.
The Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
comes with a Twist
Lock Pressure Relief Valve (Wall Fitting). If the
Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
is receiving too much
water pressure, the Relief Valve in the Wall Fitting
will release the excess water pressure.
Approximately every three minutes and 30 seconds
the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
will go into a back-up
mode. The Back-Up Valve cycle time, while in the
back-up mode, is approximately 30 seconds, pulling
the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
from problem areas.
New Back-Up Valve Information:
The Back-Up Valve Insert which slides into the slot
over the jet of the valve. This is secured with a
stainless steel screw as show in the diagram. The
insert will be set from the factory with the smaller
(1/4") hole over the opening of the jet. The smaller
hole is used for the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
cleaner. If you change the insert to the larger (3/8")
hole, the Back-Up Valve will have decreased jet
pressure and possibly not pull the unit backwards.
If the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
does not travel to all
areas of the pool, turn off the booster pump and pool
filtration pump and make the necessary adjustments
from the instructions in the next section.
G. Fine Tuning the Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
1. Thrust Jet Adjustment
There are Thrust Jets located in the back of the
Kreepy Krauly
®
Platinum
™
. These Thrust Jets alter
the direction of the cleaner. The factory standard
position for the jets are: Left jet set slightly to the right
and Right jet straight out.
(See illustration below.)
2. Sweep Hose Adjustment
The Sweep Hose operates in a gentle sweeping
motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in
hard to reach corners of the pools. To increase or
decrease the motion of the Sweep Hose, there is an
adjustment screw located on the Feed Mast Barb
below the Ballast Float. Turning the screw clockwise
will decrease the motion and counter clockwise to
increase the motion of the Sweep Hose.
