CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain quality performance and increase the lifespan of your Baracuda
®
G3
™
, please do the
following:
1. The skimmer basket, pump basket and pool filter should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
Always disconnect the hose from the skimmer before backwashing.
2. NEVER COIL THE HOSE when the cleaner is removed from the pool. A coiled hose can be
straightened with hot water or by laying it on a warm pool deck for several hours.)

3. REMOVE THE BARACUDA G3 BEFORE SUPER CHLORINATING OR ADDING POOL
CHEMICALS. Reinstall the Baracuda G3 when the imbalance is corrected or after a minimum of 4
hours from super chlorination.
4. Periodically inspect parts for wear. The footpad and disc are the most critical. When the depth of the
channels between the treads of the footpad are 1/8" or less, replace the footpad.
To remove the foot flange (PN 69527) unthread and remove the cassette (Fig. 1 & 2). Holding the
Baracuda G3 as shown (Fig. 3), press down on the yellow clip while pulling the foot flange toward you.
Pull off the old footpad and stretch on the new one. Insert the locking clip of the foot flange into the
large opening (Fig. 4), push forward to lock into place (Fig. 5) insert the cassette and tighten (Fig. 6).
