b) You will notice that your replacement flaps look similar but are marked ““Front”” and ““Rear”” on the

 inside of the flap.  

Because the springs on the flaps are different, it is absolutely necessary to install the proper flap in the front and rear 
of the unit.  Failure to do so will result in unsatisfactory performance of the Hayward Blu cleaner.  When installing the 
front flap, be sure that the extended leg of the spring is inserted into the notch on the front of the lower body (See 
Figure 12).  Push the flap in place.  You will actually feel and hear a snap when the flap is in place.  Fold the flap in 
towards the bottom of the Hayward Blu cleaner.  You will feel some resistance at this point which is normal.  As the 
flap snaps into its normal position, you will feel the spring action and notice that the front flap is now in its normal 
operating position.  When installing the rear flap, the extended leg of the spring must fit against one of the flat 
surfaces of the cam (See Figure 12). After positioning the spring, follow same insertion and folding process as front 
flap. 

 

5. Hayward Blu BUMPER REPLACEMENT: 

Replacement of the Hayward Blu b

umper is not recommended as a ““do it yourself”” re

pair since there is a possibility that 

this replacement procedure could cause a problem in the propulsion system if not followed carefully.  We strongly suggest 
that you consult your Hayward Blu dealer to perform this repair. 

A #2 Phillips screwdriver is necessary for this repair. 

a) Turn off pump. 

b) Remove Hayward Blu from pool. 

c) Disconnect Hayward Blu from leader hose. 

d) Turn Hayward Blu upside down, and place it in a position that is steady/firm. 

e) Locate and loosen the captive screw behind the throat in the center of the cleaner (See Figures 13, 14 & 15).
