7. Turn the cleaner over. If you removed the bumper
and brush ring, replace them now.
8. Install the lower body assembly in the shroud. Fasten
the cleaning head in place with 4 screws (2 long, 2
short – see Figure 30).
NOTE:
Make sure that you do not dislodge the rubber
vac skirt while inserting the lower body assembly past
the brush ring.
ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Hazardous suction. Stop pump before
attempting to clean pool cleaner.
• Keep skimmer basket and pump strainer basket clean
and free of debris.
• If cleaner jams with large debris (leaves, sticks, etc.),
try cleaning debris first from bottom of unit. If this
doesn’t clear unit, remove top swivel assembly (turn
1/4 turn) and clear the debris from the top.
• Remove the pool cleaner from the pool before super
chlorinating (shocking) or chemical balancing. Wait
at least four hours after the chemical procedure
before reinstalling the cleaner.
• Make sure that the cleaner’s brush bristles don’t
become deformed during storage. Store the unit so
that it doesn’t sit on the bristles and so that nothing
compresses them.
• If possible, do not coil the hose. Remove the hose
from the cleaner when removing the cleaner from the
pool. Store the hose flat and straight.
• Periodically examine bristles and vacuum skirt for
wear or distortion. Replace if necessary. See
"Assembly", Page 10.
• If necessary to remove oscillator, see "Disassembly",
Page 9.
• Don’t store the cleaner with the hose connected to
the cleaner body or with the hose coiled. To do so
will cause the hose to take a set or kink over a period
of time. When reinstalled in the pool, the hose will
tend to stay coiled and will cause the cleaner to mal-
function.
• If the hose has taken a set, uncoil it as far as possible
without damaging it and lay it out in the sun for sev-
eral hours to straighten itself. Once it has relaxed and
straightened out, store it laid out flat and straight (no
coiling) if possible. If no storage area is available that
will allow this, coil the hose as loosely as possible
and expect to have to let it straighten for a while
before using the cleaner again.
• Make sure the lift brush is retracted during storage or
else that the cleaner is supported such that the lift
brush is not taking any of the cleaner’s weight. If the
lift brush is down during storage and the cleaner rests
on it, the brush bristles will collapse over time and
the cleaner will no longer turn during operation as it
was designed to do.
HOSE STORAGE
Best:
Hose stored correctly – laid out straight, not con-
nected to cleaner.
OK, Not Recommended:
Hose is disconnected from
cleaner and loosely coiled (no sharp bends).
Wrong:
Storing cleaner with hose connected will dam-
age hose and void the hose warranty.
