Fine Tuning Cleaner Performance
TheT3cycleson/offwiththepoolfiltrationpumpvacuumingandcleaningallsurfacesrandomlythroughoutthe

adjustments may be necessary to optimize cleaning coverage.

Properly Balanced Hose
Aproperlybalancedhosewillcreatea45ºangleto
the cleaner and the bottom of the pool.
Inpools8½ft.(2.5m)ordeeper,anextrahose
weight(part#W83247)maybenecessary.Attach
theextraweight5-8ft.(1.5-2.5m)fromthe
cleaner.
Return Line Installed
Areturnlinecanbeusedtoguidethecleaner
away from steps or areas with V-shaped
corners, and reduce patterning.
Direct the return line to gently push the cleaner
hose by positioning the return directional eyeball
so it aims towards the wall on the opposite side
ofthepool.Adjustuntilsurfacemovementis
visible8ft.(2.5m)outfromthereturn.
In this example, any return within the grey area
can be used.
Routine Maintenance
To maintain performance:
• Nevercoilthehose.Straightencoiledorkinkedhoseswithwarmwaterorbylayinghosesstraightinthesun
for several hours until heated, then reshape manually. A kinked or coiled hose will adversely affect the
cleaner’s coverage of the pool.
• Whenthecleanerisnotinthepool,keepthediscflattoavoidwarping.
• Periodicallyinspectcleanerpartsforwear.Replacethefootpadwhenthedepthsofthechannelsbetween
thetreadsare1/16in.(1.6mm)orless.
• Thoroughlycleantheskimmerbasket,pumpbasketandfilterregularly.
• Alwaysdisconnectthecleanerfromthepoolwallorskimmerbeforecleaningorbackwashingthepoolfilter.
Aftercleaningorbackwashing,letthefiltrationsystemrunforatleastfive(5)minutesbeforere-connecting
the cleaner.
