from your E-Z Vac
®
Aboveground Pool Cleaner. Use the following information to resolve possible issues.
_ Is filter clean?
Clean filter
_ Is pump strainer basket clean?
Clean basket
_ Is debris blocking flapper at the bottom of the cleaner?
Remove debris
_ Are there any leaks in the hose?
Replace leaky section
_ Is automatic regulator valve free of debris?
Clean valve
NOTE: When the cleaner is operating, we recommend that you remove your pool’s ladder, steps or similar obstructions.
Otherwise, the ladder, steps, or similar obstructions can “trap” the cleaner and prevent it from moving about the pool.
If cleaner is not moving or pulsating:
• Check to ensure that the main drain and all suction lines are closed, except for the suction line to which the
cleaner is attached.
• Check for sufficient flow through the cleaner hose using the flow gauge.
• Check for debris in the filter, pump basket, regulator valve or leaks in the hose.
• Check for debris in the cleaner’s flapper. Debris may prevent flapper movement or restrict flow. See page 6 for
instructions.
• Pool pump and filter system may be too small (incapable of providing 14 gallons per minute water flow). Consult
your pool professional.
If cleaner tracks in a repetitive pattern
• Check the swivel on the top of cleaner. It should turn freely.
• Check the return line water flow and re-direct as necessary with an eyeball diverter.
• Refer to page 6, “Eyeball Diverter Positions”.
• Check cleaner 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 cleaner out of the pool
because it will retain the coil shape forming a bend or kink.
