MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE “
SHOES, WINGS AND FLAPS”
PERIODICALLY.
The shoes and wings have wear indicators on their sides and should be checked occasionally to determine if they
need replacing. The shoe wear indicator is a line on the side of the shoe that appears as a difference in texture.
When this texture difference is no longer visible at the bottom of the shoe when viewed from either side, the
shoes must be changed
(see Figure 8)
. Also on the side, the wing wear indicator is a horizontal line which has
three (3) vertical lines above it. When you can no longer see the horizontal line, the wings must be changed
(see
Figure 9)
. The Hayward
Pool Vac Ultra Tune-Up Kit
is available from your dealer. Shoes, wings and flaps may
also be purchased separately.
2. SHOE REPLACEMENT:
a) Turn unit upside down.
b) Insert screwdriver between foot and shoe on one of the pods
(see Figure 8)
.
c) Using a lifting motion, remove the shoe from the foot.
d) Dip a new shoe in water and attach the shoe to the foot, making sure to put the small post into the small
hole and the large post into the large hole. These posts and holes are different sizes to prevent the shoes
from being improperly installed.
e) Repeat Steps b, c and d for each shoe.
