STEP 1 - POOL PREPARATION
•
Before installing the Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaner, examine the interior of your pool carefully. If your vinyl liner is
brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, or has damage to the
base material or supporting walls, do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the
necessary repairs.
•
Manually vacuum the pool. This eliminates unnecessary adjustment later.
•
Clean the pool filter and empty the skimmer and pump strainer baskets. Filter pressure rises as debris is cleaned from the water,
thus reducing flow.
•
Divert the pool return inlets downward - (IMPORTANT!). Your Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaner must move randomly throughout
the pool. Water circulating at the surface will influence the hose and limit coverage.
• To adjust the return inlet, loosen the lock ring and redirect the eyeball downward, then retighten the lock ring. If the eyeball is
difficult to adjust, insert a screwdriver inside the eyeball and gently adjust downward.
• If the return inlets cannot be pointed downward, then you
MUST
install Zodiac return line diverters. They are available through
your Zodiac dealer
.
