Suction Side Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
Eyeball Diverter Positions
Position the diverter opening to redirect the return line
water flow so it does not interfere with the cleaner’s
movement. Try different positions to see which works
best in your pool:
• flow directed along the side of pool (the tile line).
• flow directed downward.
• flow directed against the hose will help steer the cleaner
away from obstructions such as stairs and ladders.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump
on. The cleaner should begin moving across the pool
floor vacuuming up debris in its path.
Return Line Water Flow
IMPORTANT
: The water flow from your return line can
push the Kreepy Krauly
®
Suction Side Cleaner’s hose
and affect its performance. It may cause the cleaner to
steer away from the end of the pool where the return
line is located, or it may cause your cleaner to remain in
one section of the pool. To correct this, use the eyeball
diverter included. If the eyeball does not fit your pool,
use the wire diverter.
(P/N K121620) Wire diverter available for purchase from
your Pentair Pool Products dealer.
To install the eyeball diverter:
• First make sure your pool pump is off. Remove the
original eyeball from the return line at the pool by
unscrewing the lock ring.
• Replace the original eyeball with the Kreepy Krauly
cleaner eyeball diverter.
• Replace the lock ring and tighten. Make sure the
opening of the eyeball diverter points in the proper
direction before tightening fully.
IMPORTANT
: The eyeball diverter must fit snugly into the
eyeball fitting. Some eyeball fittings, like Aqua Leader™
or Olympic™, may be too large for the eyeball diverter.
For this situation, use the outer ring supplied with your
cleaner to adjust for the discrepancy in size.
