b. Fill your vacuum hose with water by temporarily inserting the hose
cuff into the return fitting while the pool pump is on. Make sure all
the air is removed from the hose.
c. Take the 8929 Vac adapter, which consists of the plate and elbow,
and attach to the hose thru the opening of the wall and place down
inside the housing. Try to keep the hose cuff submerged during
this process so no air gets back into the hose to cause the pump to
cavitate and lose its prime.
Drain pool level approximately 2" to 4" below skimmer opening. Remove the
"eyeball" fitting in return and securely plug wall fitting with 1-1/2" plugs from your
dealer. Disconnect filter hoses from the skimmer and wall fitting. Be sure that
the skimmer is kept free from water accumulation. Your warranty does not cover
damages caused by the formation of ice in the skimmer housing.
