For your Baracuda Alpha 3

to work properly, all return inlets must be pointed

ripples on the surface.

AFTER ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the return inlet: loosen the lock ring and redirect the eyeball downward, then retighten the lock
ring. If the eyeball is difficult to adjust, insert a screwdriver inside the eyeball and gently adjust downward.
If the return inlets cannot be pointed downward, then you MUST install Baracuda return line diverters.
They are available through your Baracuda dealer (see page 17).
