Installation
Prepare the Pool
Inspect the interior of your pool. If the liner is brittle, has wrinkles, root or metal corrosion from the under-
side, or damage to the supporting base or walls, do not install the cleaner until a qualified professional
makes any necessary repairs.
1. Manually vacuum the pool if excessive debris is present,
and make sure the pool filter and pump basket are clean.
2.
Adjust the return lines to blow down-
ward to break up surface circulation and
ensure complete cleaning coverage.
• Loosen the fitting lock ring
• Redirect the eyeball downward
• Retighten the lock
If the return fitting cannot be adjusted,
the fitting must be replaced with Zodiac
return line diverter (part #W90153 for 1-1/2",
#W90155 for 2" or #W24100 for pools
without return fittings) .
Assemble the Cleaner
Stretch the disc over the foot pad with the
word “TOP” facing up. The disc should fit
securely in the groove and rotate freely
on the pad.
Slide the wheel deflector onto the extension
pipe until it is secure between the two lowest
pipe ridges. The deflector should rotate freely.
Assemble the Hose

For corner or end installations, connect enough
hose to reach the farthest point of the pool and
then add one more section.
For center installations, connect enough hose to
reach the farthest point of the pool and then add
two more sections.

Connect the Cleaner
1. Submerge the cleaner and flood it
with water.
2. When bubbles stop coming from the
extension pipe, connect the hose to
the cleaner.
3. Turn on the filtration system and fill the
hose with water by placing the end in
front of a return inlet until it is flooded.
Turn off the pump.
Connect the Hose
The FlowKeeper Valve must be used on all
installations. The valve regulates flow to ensure
the pool pump and cleaner run properly. It is pre-
set at the factory to optimize the performance of the
cleaner, but offers three settings to adjust the flow.
The lower the setting number, the lower the flow.
To adjust, pull the handle and move setting up
or down. The red tab can be used to open the
valve and stop the cleaner.
Install the FlowKeeper Valve with the arrow
facing down towards the skimmer pipe.
Using the parts as indicated, connect the hose
to the skimmer. Be sure to keep the hose and
cleaner completely submerged to keep air out
of the system.
Once the hose is connected, turn on the
pool pump and begin cleaning. Installation
is complete.
