‘LIL REBEL™ Aboveground Suction-Side Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide

6

Eyeball Diverter Positions

Position the diverter opening to redirect the return line 
water flow so it does not interfere with the cleaner’s 
movement. Try different positions to see which works 
best in your pool:
•  flow directed along the side of pool (the tile line).
•  flow directed downward.
•  flow directed against the hose will help steer the 

cleaner away from obstructions such as stairs and 
ladders.

After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool 
pump on. The cleaner should begin moving across 
the pool floor vacuuming up debris in its path.

Return Line Water Flow

IMPORTANT

: The water flow from your return line can push the ‘Lil Rebel™ Aboveground Suction-Side Pool Cleaner’s 

hose and affect its performance. It may cause the cleaner to steer away from the end of the pool where the return 
line is located, or it may cause your cleaner to remain in one section of the pool. To correct this, purchase the eyeball 
diverter (P/N 41201-0236) from your local pool professional. If the eyeball does not fit your pool, use the wire diverter.
(P/N K121620) Wire diverter available for purchase from your local pool professional.

To install the eyeball diverter:

•  First make sure your pool pump is off. Remove 

the original eyeball from the return line at the 
pool by unscrewing the lock ring.

•  Replace the original eyeball with the eyeball 

diverter that came with your cleaner.

•  Replace the lock ring and tighten. Make sure 

the opening of the eyeball diverter points in the 
proper direction before tightening fully.
