Diagram 6:
Positioning of the hose weight
Flow and climb
OBSTACLES
Use the wheel deflector or the bumper fin to help the machine to avoid/release from pool
obstacles. DO not use both together as the wheel will not turn if used with fin.
CORRECT BALANCING
An additional hose weight (Part No. M15) may be necessary to balance the cleaner head
in pools deeper than 2.2m (7 1/4 feet).With the cleaner positioned in the deep end of
the pool and the filter system turned OFF, position the second hose weight away from
the cleaner head to achieve a straight hose for the first 1 1/2 to 2 sections.
POOL COVERAGE
Normally it is undesirable for the return line water flow to affect the natural movement
of the hose. However, the following illustrations show how return line pressure can be
used to balance cleaning coverage or to guide the cleaner away from step areas with
"V" shaped corners.
A return line located anywhere along the shaded area can be utilised to elongate excess
hose to "balance" pool coverage.
Aim directional toward this area
A return line located anywhere along the shaded area can be utilised to gently push
the hose allowing it to free itself from in-pool obstacles.
Technique
Position the return line directional so that you can only detect water movement on
the surface approximately 8 feet out from the wall, and aim it at the centre of the
opposite wall.
