VINYL LINER POOLS - ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
Some vinyl pools have a steep incline from the deep end to the shallow end, some simple adjustments to
the JET-VAC will help it climb up into the shallow end of the pool.
1. ALWAYS remove the JET-VAC Automatic Pool Cleaner before anyone enters the swimming pool.
2. ALWAYS have a
licensed electrical contractor
install the wiring for the JET-VAC Booster Pump. It must
be wired in accordance with a local and/or regional electrical codes.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the JET-VAC from the wall when back-washing or cleaning the filter system. When
you have finished and the pumps are OFF,
remove the wall fitting first,
then turn ON the filter pump. WAIT
ONE MINUTE, then turn ON booster pump to flush out the sweep line. Then turn OFF booster pump AND
filter pump. Remove and thoroughly clean filter screen inside wall fitting. Reassemble screen into wall fit-
ting and screw fitting back into wall. Adjust wall fitting so that the connector points up towards the water
surface.
4. ALWAYS remove wall fitting and JET-VAC when back-washing filter system. Be certain wall fitting screen
is clean before reinstallation.
5. ALWAYS remove JET-VAC and hoses when adding chemicals. Run filter to mix chemicals in water for at
least 30 minutes before reinstalling JET-VAC and hoses in water. CHEMICAL ATTACK WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY. Never pour concentrated chemicals on or near any part of the JET-VAC or hose assemblies.
6. ALWAYS store all parts of the JET-VAC and hose assemblies away from excessive heat or cold and direct
sunlight, when not in use.
6. The JET-VAC is not designed to clean up after new pool construction. Large amounts of grit or sand will
damage wheel bearings. Please manually vacuum the pool before installing the JET-VAC.
7. NEVER operate your JET-VAC without a booster pump. Your existing filter system cannot generate
adequate pressure.
1. Remove the transparent nose wheel (part #JV13) by removing the phillips screw and the
plastic hub that the screw goes through. Turn the nose wheel upside down, with the flange
end of the hub up, reinstall the screw into the hub and screw securely. Check that it spins
freely and does not fall off.
2. Remove the phillips screw and nut that holds the stainless steel wheel (part #JV15) in place
and reinstall in the lower mounting position.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the phillips screw that attaches the roller arm (part #JV12) to the
JET-VAC body. Place the JET-VAC on a flat surface and adjust the roller arm angle so that
the bottom of the stainless steel wheel (JV15) is 1/2" from the flat surface and tighten the
phillips screw securely.
4. Test the JET-VAC in the pool to verify adjustments. *Note: In some cases it may be necessary
to increase pressure to 27-29 PSI for added thrust.
