LEGEND® II  INSTALLATION  MANUAL

D.  Periodic Maintenance

The following parts are wear items that should be

checked, maintained or replaced as needed. Wear

items are considered any working or moving part(s)

being worn due to the use of the cleaner. 

Wear items

are not covered under warranty.

1.  Wall Fitting Screen

Inside the wall fitting is a filter screen that acts as a

secondary filter. This screen is to keep debris that is

passed  by  the  pool  filter  out  of  the  Legend

®

  II.

Running the Cleaner without the filter screen can

damage the Legend

®

 II and will void the warranty.

A continuous plugged or dirty screen is a sign of

problems in your pool filtration system and you need

to contact your local pool professional.

To clean the filter screen, pull the screen out from

inside the Wall Fitting and rinse thoroughly and push

back inside the wall fitting.

Whenever cleaning, back washing or repairing filter,

remove the wall fitting and flush out the dedicated

line before using the Legend

®

If you have a lot of debris in your pool, especially

after a storm, you can run your Legend

®

 II in two

shorter cycles per day and empty the debris bag

between cycles.

Reconnect  the  debris  bag  to  the  vacuum  tube.

Do NOT over turn.

A Helpful Hint:

 It is easier to empty the debris bag

when it is dry.  A second bag may be used while the

full debris bag is drying.

It's best to empty the debris bag when it becomes

half full.  The Legend

®

 II will have better performance

if the bag is not overloaded.
