DRAINING YOUR SWIMCROSS
EXERCISE SYSTEM
1. Turn off all GFCI breakers in sub-panel, or main electrical panel.
2. Locate the drain valve (bottom,
lower right of control panel) for
the SWIMCROSS Exercise
System.
Pull on handle (Figure 1, pliers
may be used to pull handle) until
you reach the mid position then
rotate handle slightly to fully
extended drain tube (drain
cap and 1” of the drain tube
is exposed) (Figure 2) then
remove the drain cap
(Figure 3).
NOTE:
Do not remove drain
cap in mid position. Attach
the garden hose to the end of
the drain (to avoid flooding of
the foundation surrounding the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System)
making sure not to push the drain
tube inward. Route the outlet
of the hose to an appropriate
draining area.
NOTE: SWIMCROSS Exercise
System water with a high
sanitizer level may harm plants
and grass.
3. Push the garden hose and drain
tube half-way back towards the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System
(Figure 4) which will start the
gravitational flow. Drain tube must be in the mid position for the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System to drain.
IMPORTANT: All models will drain almost completely through the
drain valve. Equipment such as the jet pump and heating system
may not completely drain. Any water remaining within the plumbing
or equipment after draining will only need to be removed if the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System is being winterized.
4. After your SWIMCROSS Exercise System is empty, clean the shell
and filter cartridges.
5. Pull and remove garden hose, replace drain cap and push drain
tube back into SWIMCROSS Exercise System as seen in Figure 1.
6. Follow the “START-UP PROCEDURES” to refill your SWIMCROSS
Exercise System.
PREVENTION OF FREEZING
Your SWIMCROSS Exercise System has been designed and
engineered for year-round use in any climate. In some areas, extremely
cold temperatures (below 10°F) combined with strong wind, may
cause partial freezing of the jet pump, even though the water inside the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System remains at the selected temperature.
The energy efficiency of the SWIMCROSS Exercise System may
also decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more
frequently. As an additional precaution against partial freezing of some of
the components, the equipment compartment can be insulated with an
insulating kit available from your local dealer. This insulating kit will also
help to maximize the SWIMCROSS Exercise System’s energy efficiency.
NOTE: When warmer weather returns (approx. 60°-70°F), the insulating
kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the jet pump.
WINTERIZING YOUR SWIMCROSS
EXERCISE SYSTEM
An ENDLESS POOLS SWIMCROSS Exercise System may be
used year round, even in colder climates. If you will not be using the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System during the winter in an area where
freezing is a problem, special consideration must be taken to protect the
pool and auxiliary equipment if either is located outside. If you have any
questions regarding precautions to take against freezing, please call our
Customer Service Department at (800) 999-4688 (extension 8432) or
e-mail customerservice@watkinsmfg.com.
CARE OF THE PILLOWS
The SWIMCROSS Exercise System pillows will provide years of
comfort if treated with care. They have been positioned above the water
level to minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and other
SWIMCROSS Exercise System water chemicals. To extend their life,
whenever the SWIMCROSS Exercise System shell is being cleaned,
the SWIMCROSS Exercise System pillows should be removed and
cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution.
ALWAYS rinse off the SWIMCROSS Exercise System pillows thoroughly
to remove any soap residue. If the SWIMCROSS Exercise System is
not going to be used for a long period of time (that is during a vacation
or if the SWIMCROSS Exercise System is winterized), or when the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System water is being super-chlorinated, the
SWIMCROSS Exercise System pillows should be removed until the next
use of the SWIMCROSS Exercise System.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE
PILLOWS:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the SWIMCROSS
Exercise System shell.
2. Continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the
pillow.
IMPORTANT : Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell
recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered
under warranty.
3. To reinstall the SWIMCROSS Exercise System pillow, carefully bend
the pillow slightly to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the
recess in the back of the pillow.
4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the
recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into
the recess in the
SWIMCROSS
Exercise System shell.
