Adjusting the Hose Assembly to Fit Pool
The hose assembly consists of: Three (3) 10 ft.
sections, one (1) soft light grey lead hose marked as
section one and two (2) stiffer dark grey feed hoses
marked as sections two and three.
Important to the Performance of the Cleaner:
Measure, cut, and assemble the hose sections as
described in Step 1 and Step 2. Use strong scissors
or a sharp knife to cut the hoses. Be sure to slide the
floats out of the way when cutting hose. Cut hose ends
as straight as possible.
Step 1: Sizing Hose Section 1
1. Measure the deepest part of the pool.
See figure
8.
Note:
The grate or domed main drain, at the
bottom of the pool, is usually the deepest point.
If
the depth is greater than 10 ft., do not cut the hose,
and proceed to Step 2.
2. If the pool depth is less than 10 ft., disconnect the
soft light grey lead hose, labeled section one, from
the swivel end. Cut the lead hose so the length is
equal to the deepest part of the pool.
See figure 9.
Example:
If the pool is 8½ ft. deep, cut 1½ ft. off of
the hose labelled section one (since the hose is 10
ft.).
3. Discard excess hose. Reconnect the newly cut lead
hose to the swivel on the feed hose. All three hose
sections should now be connected.
Step 2: Sizing Hose Sections 2 and 3
1. Attach the hose assembly to the wall fitting.
See
figure 10
. Then attach the wall fitting (with hose) to
the wall adaptor.
See figure 10
. Take the opposite end
of the hose assembly and walk to the farthest point
of the pool from the wall adaptor.
To prevent over
stretching the hose, rest the hose on top of the
pool water.
Measure the excess hose length (hose
that extends beyond pool edge). This determines
the amount of hose to be cut from sections 2 and 3.
2. Disconnect feed hose assembly from the wall adaptor.
Disconnect sections 2 and 3 from the first swivel
closest to the wall fitting.
3. Cut half of the total excess hose length
from each
hose labeled section 2 and section 3 (assembled
with four floats) equally.
Both feed hose sections
should be the same length after cutting.
Example: If there is 6 ft. of excess hose. Cut 3 ft. off
of section 2 and section 3. (Half of 6 ft. = 3 ft. each)
If more than 3 ft. is cut from each hose section, remove
one (1) float from each hose section.
Note:
For large pools requiring extra hose lengths
you will need to purchase one (1) additional hose,
P/N 360265 (10 ft. single hose). Attach extra hose
sections at the wall fitting using supplied swivel and
mender nuts.
