SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION

Diagram 1

STEP 1: Preparing your pool and filtration system

IMPORTANT

To ensure the best performance from your BARACUDA

®

PACER, the

filtration system must be operating at its MAXIMUM WATER FLOW
before installation.

Installation is easy if you follow these simple preliminary steps:

1. Empty the weir basket.

2. Clean the pump basket.

3. Backwash the filter until sight glass is clear.

4. Adjust all return jets (whether your pool has one, two or more) 

to point downwards and towards each other so that you DO NOT
see a circular water flow or waves on the surface of your pool.

1. Start by removing the main
body of the BARACUDA

®

PACER from its box, together
with the segmented disc. Slide
the segmented disc onto the
flexi-foot as in Diagram 1.You
should always start at one of the flat
edges on the flexi-foot. Make sure that
the disc fits tightly onto the flexi-foot,
and rotates once installed.

3. Every BARACUDA

®

PACER pool cleaner

is supplied with a medium deflector wheel.The

purpose of this wheel is to

protect the outer extension pipe,

main body and also to guide the

BARACUDA

® 

PACER away from

swimming pool steps or stairs.

Position the deflector wheel on

the outer extension pipe as in

Diagram 3.Then push down firmly 

on the deflector wheel, the deflector

wheel will click into place. Make sure the

top clips are seated in the groove. Ensure 

that the deflector wheel rotates freely.
