Suction-Side Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
•
The turbine is moving freely and is not obstructed by
debris. See “Removing Debris from the Turbine” below.
•
The tires are not excessively worn. See
Figure 18
on the
next page.
We recommend that you leave the cleaner in your pool,
except during chemical shock treatments.
•
During swimming it is easy to unplug the cleaner and pull it
to one side.
•
When storing the cleaner, do not coil the hose. Lay the
hose flat in an area protected from direct sunlight.
MAINTENANCE
The cleaner requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect
your cleaner from time to time to make sure that:
This cleaner’s hose is specially designed to ensure optimum
cleaner performance. Should replacement be required, insist
on genuine Pentair cleaner hose.
Removing Debris from the Turbine
1.
Be sure the pool pump is off. Remove the cleaner from the
pool and disconnect the cleaner from the leader hose.
2. Check to see if anything is clogged inside the cleaner. Do
this by positioning the cleaner with the buckle facing you
and attempt to rotate the right side wheel forward. If the
wheel rotates smoothly there probably is no obstruction. If it
won’t rotate there is an obstruction.
3. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface. Open the buckle on
the front of the cleaner by pulling it out and down.
Lift the front of the top cover up and then firmly pull it
forward. This will separate the top cover from the cleaner
body and you will now be able to lift the top cover straight up
from the cleaner body (see
Figure 15
). Set the cover aside.
Note:
The top cover is designed to fit tightly so you may
have to wiggle it a little.
4. Pull the turbine cover straight up and off of the cleaner
body. Set the turbine cover aside. See
Figure 16.
5. Remove any visible obstructions from the turbine and
turbine cover.
6. Replace the turbine cover with the swivel assembly
oriented towards the front of the cleaner. See
Figure 16
.
7. Visually inspect the rest of the cleaner and remove any
debris that may be in the gears, drive shafts, swivel
assembly, etc.
8. Repeat
step 2 (turning the right wheel)
to insure that the
cleaner runs smoothly.
9. Place the top cover over the swivel assembly.
10. Place the tabs on the back side of the top cover into the
slots on the back side of the cleaner body (see
Figure 17)
.
Once these tabs are seated in the slots the front of the cover
will fall into place.
11. Lock the top cover onto the cleaner body with the locking
buckle on the front of the cleaner.

Tire Replacement
After prolonged use it may become necessary to replace the cleaner’s rubber tires. When the tire surface has
worn into the tire’s grooves the tire is in need of replacement. See
Figure 18.
To remove the cleaner tire:
1. Turn the pool pump off and remove the cleaner from the pool.
2. Disconnect the cleaner from the leader hose.
3. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface and fold the tire off of the wheel from top to bottom.
Note:
Remove the tire by hand. Using other objects (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.) to remove the tire may
damage the wheel.
To install the replacement tire:
1. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface and seat the top of the rubber tire onto the top of the wheel. Be sure that
the back lip of the tire is resting flat on the inside edge of the wheel.
Note:
Replace the tire by hand. Using other objects (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.) to replace the tire may
damage the wheel.
2. Stretch the bottom of the tire over the bottom of the wheel. Be sure that the back lip of the tire is resting flat on
the inside edge of the wheel.
3. Fold the back lip of the tire onto the back of the cleaner wheel along the entire cleaner wheel. The tire should lie
flat on the top surface of the wheel.
Excessively Worn Tire
:
Outer surface of the tire has
nearly worn to the bottom
of the tire’s grooves.
New Tire
: Outer
surface of the tire
is well above the
bottom of the
tire’s grooves.
