Pressure Side Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance
Periodically inspect the RACER™ Pressure Side Pool
Cleaner and its components. Replace and/or repair any
worn or damaged components. Failure to follow instructions
or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage
to the cleaner, pool finish, or vinyl liner.
The following parts are wear items that should be inspected
periodically and replaced as needed.
Wall Fitting Screen
Inside the wall fitting is a stainless steel filter screen that
acts as a secondary filter. This screen captures debris
that may have passed through the pool filter.
A dirty screen may be an indication of potential
issues in your pool filter system and you may need to
contact your local pool professional.
Note:
Running the cleaner without the filter screen can
damage the cleaner and void the warranty.
To clean the filter screen:
1. Switch the booster pump and then the filtration pump off.
2. Remove the wall fitting from the wall adaptor.
3. Pull the screen out from inside the wall fitting.
4. Rinse thoroughly until clean and insert back inside the
wall fitting.
5. Whenever cleaning, backwashing or repairing the pool
filter, also clean the wall fitting screen after your first
cleaner cycle.
Tires
The tires are designed to protect the bottom of your
pool and provide traction. Tires will wear and need to be
replaced occasionally.
Debris Bags
The cleaner comes with a general purpose bag and is
used for all debris types. Replace bag when the fabric is
torn or punctured.
Note:
To prolong the life of your cleaner, remove it
from pool before adding chemicals.
Sweep Hose
The sweep hose is provided as an optional accessory
to help keep hard to reach corners of your pool clean.
Replace sweep hose scrubber as necessary if used.
Sweep Hose Roller Rings
Your sweep hose has a series of roller rings to protect
the sweep hose. Replace the rings as needed. Ensure
the roller rings rotate freely.
Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall before
cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning or
backwashing, let the pool filtration system and booster
pump run for a minimum of five minutes to flush out the
return lines before reconnecting the cleaner.
Storage and Winterizing
You may leave the wall adapter in the wall and
store the hoses straight, without any kinks. If storing
the hose coiled, be sure to lay the hose straight in the
sun for 12 to 24 hours before using again. Use the
flow gauge to be sure the flow is sufficient for cleaner
operation.
