LEGEND® II  INSTALLATION  MANUAL

F.  Hooking up the Legend

®

 II

1. Remove the Pressure Tester from the free end of

the Feed Hose by unscrewing the Mender Nut,

left hand thread (reverse). (See illustration below.)

3. Carefully twist lock the Sand & Silt debris bag

onto the top of the Legend

®

 II Vacuum Tube.  Make

sure there is a Rubber Debris Valve attached to

the top of the Vacuum Tube before locking on the

Sand & Silt bag, (this valve is similar to a check

valve to help keep debris inside the bag when

the water pressure is off).

4. Attach  the  Sand  &  Silt  bag  clip  to  the  space

between the Back-Up Valve and the 18” hose.

5. Gently place the Legend

®

 II in the pool. Turn on

the pool filtration pump.

6. Check to make sure the wheel RPM is between

25-32. See 

page 5

 for instructions on wheel RPM.

G. Checking  Operation

When operating correctly, the Legend

®

 II will travel

in a random pattern throughout the pool, vacuuming

and sweeping the bottom.  The climbing ability of the

Legend

®

 II is dependent on the pools structure and

water flow coming into the pool.  It will perform more

efficiently in pools without sharp angles or curves in

the transition from the floor of the pool to the wall.
The Legend

®

 II comes with a Twist Lock Pressure

Relief Valve (Wall Fitting). If the Legend

®

 II is receiving

too much water pressure, the Pressure Relief Valve

in  the  Wall  Fitting  will  release  the  excess  water

pressure.
Approximately every three minutes and 30 seconds

the Legend

®

  II  will  go  into  a  back-up  mode.  The

Back-Up Valve cycle time, while in the back-up mode,

is approximately 30 seconds, pulling the Legend

®

 II

from  it’s  current  location  increasing  it’s  random

pattern.
The  Sweep  Hose  operates  in  a  gentle  sweeping

motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in

hard to reach corners of the pools.
If the Legend

®

 II does not travel to all areas of the

pool, turn off the pool filtration pump and make the

necessary adjustments from the instructions on the

next page.

top of the Legend

®

 II Swivel Mast and secure with

the mender nut. The arch of the Feed Hose should

align in the same direction as the Swivel Mast,

there should be no twist in the Feed Hose after

connection. (See illustration below.)
