1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Close the main drain and all suction lines except the line from the skimmer
to which the cleaner will be connected.
3. Remove the skimmer basket
4. Press the 2” hose cone into the vacuum connection in the bottom of the
skimmer as shown in Figure 8.
5. Press the automatic regulator valve into the 2” hose cone. The end of the
valve marked “Attach Hose to This End” must point upwards. See Figure 7.
6. Place the cleaner into the pool and allow it to sink to the oor of the pool.
Continue to feed the hose vertically downward into the pool until it is lled with
water and purged of air.
7. Insert the end of the hose through the skimmer opening and connect the
hose directly onto the automatic regulator valve.
IV. Adjustments
After completing the installation, turn the pool pump on. Allow the pump to run for a couple minutes to
ensure all air completely cycles out of the system. The cleaner should be moving around the pool at a rate
of 8 to 12 feet per minute. Check each of the following initial adjustments to the cleaner at this time.
Hose Length
IMPORTANT: The pump must be on when you check the hose length. The hose contracts when the pump
is operating and will be longer when the pump is off.
With the cleaner operating, position it at the furthest point of the pool from where it is attached. It is easy to
position the cleaner by moving it around the pool with a pole. The cleaner’s hose should be long enough
to reach the furthest end of the pool, plus one hose section. If necessary, remove extra hose sections from
the center portion of the hose. Removing center hose sections avoids having to disturb the hose weight
placement. Save extra hose sections for use as needed for replacement. NOTE: Turn pool pump off when
adding or removing hose sections.
Hose Balance
To determine correct hose balance, turn the pump off and observe the cleaner. Hose balance is correct
when the cleaner’s seal rests at on the pool oor and the diver tubes make a 45° angle with the oor, as
shown in Figure 9. The cleaner achieves the best cleaning coverage when the hose neither weighs down
nor pulls up on the unit. Adjust hose weights one inch at a time as needed until proper hose balance is
achieved. In pools with both shallow and deep areas, adjust hose weights rst in the deep area and then in
the shallow area.
