Use the Deflector Wheel if your pool has
tight corners and/or a ladder. The
Deflector Wheel helps guide your
pool cleaner around these obstacles.

To fit the Deflector Wheel, simply push it
over the Handnut until it has engaged
correctly and rotates freely See Fig

STEP 4: CONNECT HOSE & POSITION THE HOSE WEIGHT

Connect sufficient lengths of hose
to cover the distance from the pool
skimmer or vacuum point, to the
farthest point of your pool, plus
one length. See Fig 4. The Female
(large) hose cuff is fitted to the

pool vacuum point.The Male

(small) hose cuff connects to the
skimmer/vacuum point.

If you have a deep pool,
you may need to fit the hose
weight. This is to counteract
excessive buoyancy created
by the hose. The hose weight
simply slides over the Male
hose cuff and can then be
positioned wherever required
on the hose. Adjusting the
position of the hose weight
could provide better
performance. See Figs 5.
