SECTION 3 – INSTALLATION
Insert the leader hose adaptor into one of the hoses to act as the leader hose. Fit the hose
weight to the first hose length. If you require a second hose weight, it must be positioned at
least 2 metres from the first hose weight. Assemble the hose to the correct length (Fig. 4/5).
Now fit the hose protector mesh to the skimmer end of the hose.
NOTE:
Attach the leader hose (Fig.3) to the Automatic Pool Cleaner head and the other
end of the hose to the connection point in your pool.

Sunlight (ultraviolet rays), water and swimming pool chemicals create a harsh environment.
To increase the lifespan of the Automatic Pool Cleaner and hose, you should:
1. Remove the Automatic Pool Cleaner from the pool before super chlorinating and
reinstall it a minimum of four hours later.
2. Always store the hose straight, or in its original box. NEVER coil the hose. (Coiled
hose can be straightened with hot water or by laying it on a warm pool deck for
several hours.)
3. Periodically inspect parts for wear. The Flexi Foot and Disc are the most critical.
When the depth of the channels between the treads of the Fixed Disc are 3mm or
less, replace the Finned Disc.
4. If you should develop an algae or chemical imbalance problem, remove the Cleaner
following the advice of a qualified pool professional, and reinstall the
Cleaner when the imbalance is corrected.
5. ALWAYS disconnect the hose from the skimmer or vacuum line BEFORE
backwashing your filter.
