Quick Access Cassette System
Foreign objects, such as children’s toys, tree branches and rocks, should be removed manually from your pool prior to operating your
Kontiki. If a blockage should occur, the Quick Access Cassette System will allow you to check the diaphragm for damage and remove
the blockage in minutes at poolside.
DIAPHRAGM REMOVAL
Holding the frame assembly in one hand, grasp the cassette handnut firmly and turn it counter-clockwise (Step 1). Pull the complete
cassette out of the frame (Step 2). Holding the cassette at each end, unscrew the cassette pipe from the diaphragm chamber two full
turns (Step 3). Grasp the lip of the diaphragm and pull the diaphragm out (Step 4). The inner pipe will be attached and will make a loud
noise. Pull the diaphragm off of the inner pipe, leaving the retaining ring on the diaphragm (Step 5).
Inspect the diaphragm for the blockage or damage. If damage is evident, i.e., a cut or hole on the sides of the diaphragm, contact your
dealer for a replacement.
If a blockage is apparent, grasp it and remove it. If this can’t be done, a garden hose may be used to flush the obstacle through. Do not
use any sharp objects to probe or push an obstruction as this may damage the diaphragm.
DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY
Attach the diaphragm to the inner extension pipe using the retaining ring (Step 6). Slide the inner extension pipe into the diaphragm
chamber. Pressing on the underside of the diaphragm’s ridges, push the diaphragm into the chamber (Step 7). Holding the cassette at
each end, tighten the cassette pipe until snug. Do not overtighten. (Step 8). Insert the cassette into the frame assembly and twist the
handnut clockwise until it locks into place (Step 9).
NOTE: The indicator line on the handnut will line up with the center ridge on the frame assembly (Step 10).

To maintain quality, performance and increase the lifespan of your Kontiki, please do the following:
1.
Thoroughly clean the skimmer basket, pump basket and pool filter on a regular basis. Always disconnect the hose from the
skimmer before backwashing.
2. REMOVE THE CLEANER BEFORE SUPER CHLORINATING OR ADDING POOL CHEMICALS. Reinstall the
Kontiki when the imbalance is corrected or after a minimum of 4 hours from super chlorination. Chemical damage is not covered
under warranty.
3.
NEVER COIL THE HOSE when the cleaner is removed from the pool. A coiled hose can be straightened with hot water or by
laying it on a warm pool deck for several hours.
