After completing the installation,
turn the pool pump on
. Allow the pump to run for a couple of minutes to
ensure all air cycles out of the system. Kreepy Krauly

Kruiser
™
should be moving about the pool. Check
each of the following initial adjustments to the Kreepy Krauly
®
Kruiser
™
at this time.
ADJUSTING THE FLOW
1. Turn the pool pump off. Remove the Cleaner and connect the Flow Gauge
to the end of the hose, make sure you keep the hose submerged to prevent
any air to enter into it. Then turn the pump on.
2. With the pump running, turn the Adjustment Knob of the Regulator Valve
“Faster” or “Slower” until the disc indicator in the Flow Gauge settles
between “Maximum” and “Minimum” flow.
NOTE:
If you have very strong pump and the flow is still over the
“Maximum” you may need to open the main drain only slightly.
3. Turn the pool pump off. Remove the Flow Gauge and connect the Cleaner
to the end of the hose, make sure you keep the hose submerged to prevent
any air to enter into it. Allow the cleaner to drop to the pool floor. Then turn
the pump on.
NOTE:
Optimizing the water flow does not mean maximizing the flow
through the Cleaner. In fact, to insure a random pattern of travel that
will enable the Cleaner to reach all areas of your pool, it is better to
use less suction, not more.
RETURN LINE ADJUSTMENTS
Important; the cleaner must move randomly throughout the pool. Water circulating at the surface
will influence the hose thus limiting the Cleaner’s coverage.
1. Adjust the Return Line Flow as
described in the diagrams.
2. To adjust the Eyeball Diverters;
loosen the lock ring and redirect
the Eyeball Diverters slightly
downwards and also try different
directions to see what works best
in your pool. Allow time for the
body of water to settle into the
new pattern.
3. If it is difficult to adjust your
existing Eyeball Diverters, replace
the eyeball component with the
new Eyeball Diverters (included).
