If Kreepy Krauly tracks in a repetitive pattern.
•
Check the swivel on the top of Kreepy Krauly. It should turn freely.
•
Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter. Refer
to page 9.
•
Check Kreepy Krauly’s hose to ensure it has not become bent or kinked. It only takes one
bent or kinked hose section to hinder the cleaning coverage. One way to check for kinks in
your hose is to lay each section flat on your pool’s deck (or other flat surface). The hose
should be perfectly straight and flat.
Do not coil the hose when taking your Kreepy
Krauly out of the pool because it will retain the coil shape, forming a bend or kink.
If Kreepy Krauly gets stuck on pool obstructions such as a
safety ledge, ladders, steps, swim-outs, benches, etc.
•
Remove dive float restrictor and install a wall climb adjuster
(Part #K12065). Snap the wall climb adjuster into place as
shown in Figure 17. This will keep Kreepy Krauly on the
pool’s floor and away from pool obstructions. Make sure
the narrow end of the wall climb adjuster points down to the
drive tubes.
•
If Kreepy Krauly gets stuck under your pool ladder, install a
Ladder Guard (Part #K12330) according to the instructions
contained in the packaging. (These accessories are available
for purchase from your Pentair Pool Products dealer.)
To Remove Debris From The Flapper
•
Sometimes debris may clog the bottom of the cleaner and
prevent flapper movement or restrict flow. The flapper is
located inside the main body and must move freely at all
times. You can see the flapper through the opening in the
baffle plate, when you turn the cleaner upside down as shown
in Figure 18. Jiggle the flapper with your finger or flush the
cavity with a hose to force out any debris lodged inside the
main body.
•
If debris is still lodged inside, you must remove the flapper.
First, lift the lip of the foot pad and insert a flat-head
screwdriver along side one of the two tabs found on the
baffle plate. See Figure 19. Push the tab inward with the screwdriver until the baffle plate releases.
Place a finger into the center opening of the baffle plate and pull up until it pops out. Then pull
the flapper out.
NOTE: You should be able to do this without taking the foot pad off.
•
Once the debris is dislodged, insert the flapper back into the main body and snap the baffle
plate back into position. Be sure that it is securely in place. See Figure 19.
