LEGEND® PLATINUM  INSTALLATION  MANUAL

F.  Checking Operation

When operating correctly, the Legend

®

 Platinum will

travel in a random pattern throughout the pool,
vacuuming and sweeping the bottom. The climbing
ability of the Legend

®

 Platinum 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

®

 Platinum comes with a Twist Lock

Pressure Relief Valve (Wall Fitting). If the Legend

®

Platinum is receiving too much water pressure, the
Relief Valve in the Wall Fitting will release the excess
water pressure.

Approximately every three minutes and 30 seconds
the Legend

®

 Platinum 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

®

 Platinum from problem areas.

New Back-Up Valve Information:

The Back-Up Valve Insert (#MBUVP) which is slid
into the slot over the jet of the valve. This is secured
with a stainless steel screw (#VX-9) as show in the
diagram.  The insert will be set from the factory with
the smaller (1/4") hole over the opening of the jet.
The smaller hole is used for the Platinum  cleaner. If
you change the insert to the larger (3/8") hole, the
Back-Up Valve will have decreased jet pressure and
possible not pull the unit backwards.

If the Legend

®

 Platinum does not travel to all areas

of the pool, turn off the booster pump and pool
filtration pump and make the necessary adjustments
from the instructions in the next section.

G.  Fine Tuning the Legend

®

 Platinum

1.  Thrust Jet Adjustment

There are Thrust Jets located in the back of the
Legend

®

 Platinum. These Thrust Jets alter the

direction of the cleaner. The factory standard position
for the jets are: Left jet set slightly to the right and
Right jet straight out.

(See illustration below.)

Screw

MBUVP

Back-Up Valve

2.  Sweep Hose Adjustment

The Sweep Hose operates in a gentle sweeping
motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in
hard to reach corners of the pools. To increase or
decrease the motion of the Sweep Hose, there is an
adjustment screw located on the Feed Mast Barb
below the Ballast Float. Turning the screw clockwise
will decrease the motion and counter clockwise to
increase the motion of the Sweep Hose.
