SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION
STEP 3: Assembling the Hoses
1. Always insert the male hose cuff into the female cuff. Hoses must connect
fairly tightly. The ideal length of hose is from the weir to the furthest point of the
pool plus one extra section of hose. If the weir is opposite the steps, use the
lowest step as furthest point (See Diagrams 4 and 5).To ensure the best
performance from your
BARACUDA
®
PACER, please
ensure that only genuine
BARACUDA
®
hoses are used.
2. Fit the hose weight
to the first section of the
hose ±1 metre from the
BARACUDA
®
PACER head
(Refer to Section 2 –
Correct Settings).
3. Fit the Hose Protector
Mesh over the cuff of the
hose to prevent the hose
from wearing at the weir.
Position the protector mesh so that ±10cm is exposed outside the weir.
4. Bleed all the air
from the hose by
placing one end over
the return jet – thus
filling the hose length
with water.
5. Keeping the hose-
ends underwater, move
it from the return line
to the weir and
connect the female cuff
to the BARACUDA
®
Auto Weir Valve. Ensure
that the BARACUDA
®
Auto Weir Valve is firmly attached to the hose. (Diagram 6)
