the clear (soft) hose is longer than the mark on
the telepole, cut the excess from the end attached
to the white (hard) hose. Do not cut off the float.
Leave the first float in position next to the
Back-Up Valve. Place the second float midway
between the first float and the Hose Swivel.
4. Attach feed hose to the wall fitting and attach to
the pool wall. Hold the end of the 30 in. clear (soft)
hose and walk the perimeter of the pool keeping
the hose straight (do not stretch hose) to find the
farthest point of the pool from the wall fitting.
5. Measure the excess length between the farthest
point of the pool from Wall Fitting and the end of
30 in. clear (soft) hose.
6. Half of this measured length to be
cut equally
from the 10 ft. long hoses next to the Marked
Swivel
. (Example: Half of 6 ft. = 3 ft. each). If you
are cutting more than 2 ft. off the hoses, remove
the floats next to the Marked Swivel from both
hoses. See Figures on
page 4
