Debris  may  vary  due  to  geography,  landscape  or  season.  

Therefore, your cleaner has been equipped with the ability to 

adjust the opening size of its Debris Intake Ports to accommodate 

larger or smaller debris.  

For  smaller  dirt  like  pine  needles,  sand  and  pollen  slide  the 

Intake Port Width Selector (Fig. 10a), located on the inside of the 

Bottom Lid Assembly, in the direction of the arrow indicating 

“LESS”.  This will restrict the opening ability of the Port Flaps 

thus increasing its suction velocity to improve the removal of 

sediment dirt.

For larger debris like leaves, twigs and acorns slide the Intake 

Port Width Selector (Fig. 10b) away from LESS to increase the 

Port opening size to accommodate larger dirt and debris.  

Similar to a house vacuum that offers varied heights to clean 

carpet and hard floors separately, your pool cleaner is equipped 

with the patented Variable Intake Port Depth Extensions.  There 

are  2  pairs  provided,  each  of  different  thickness  /  depths, 

offering varied depth suction points to access different types of 

dirt from different types of pool surfaces.  

Use either the thicker pair to access heavy dirt like sand, algae or 

silt embedded in porous surfaces like gunite, plaster or pebbled 

textures or the thinner pair to access lighter dirt like pollen and 

dust  in  less  porous  surfaces  like  vinyl  liners.    You  may  even 

use  one  of  each  of  the  Port  Depth  Extension  thicknesses  to 

provide varied dirt accessibility or use none at all and allow the 

cleaner’s standard suction depth of the Bottom Lid Assembly 

to do the job should your pool surface be virtually porous-free 

like fiberglass.  

To install simply align each Variable Port Depth Extension 

1. 

tab to fit into its corresponding receptacle in the Bottom Lid 

Assembly.  Be sure that the angled side of each “Extension” 

is facing the nearest Brushes (Fig. 11).

Figure 12

Two NeverStuck™ Rollers (Fig. 12) are located adjacent to the 

Vacuum Intake Ports (Figure 11) on the Bottom Lid Assembly. 

These help prevent the cleaner from being stuck on obstacles 

like  raised  drain  covers  ,  convex  lights  or  in-floor  pop-up 

heads.  If they are not needed, the rollers my be removed with 

a phillips head screwdriver.

POWER WASHING JET SYSTEM

Some models come equipped with the Power Wash Hydroscrubbing Jet system (Fig. 13). An internal centrifugal pump 
produces two pressurized streams of water that help dislodge dirt like sand from seams, pores and corners where brushes 
can’t reach. Periodically check the Power Washing Tubes (Fig. 13) to make sure that they are not clogged.
