(cont.)

Step

8

Turn

ON

your

filter

system.

Now

that

your

cleaner

is

operating,

check

to

see

that

the

cleaner

is

moving

about

the

pool.

It

should

be

operating

with

left

and

right

turns.

It

should

turn

away

from

the

walls

in

a

short

time

frame.

If

the

cleaner

is

performing

as

stated

above,

your

installation

is'eomplete.

NOTE:

Hayward

automatic

pool

cleaners

are

powered

by

your

pool's

filter

system

and

are

designed

to

work

with

most

systems

for

above

-ground

pools.

Therefore,

the

performance

of

your

cleaner

will

be

relative

to

the

power

source.

It

may

be

necessary

to

purchase

a

V096P

“In

-Line"

Vacuum

Gauge

from

your

Hayward

dealer

to

verify

performance

of

your

system.

Step

9

Observe

your

cleaner

in

operation.

The

pool's

return

water

fl

ow

may

affect

the

operation

of

your

cleaner

by

interfering

with

the

hose

on

the

surface

of

the

water

or

the

cleaner

on

the

bottom

of

the

pool.

If

the

pool

is

equipped

with

an

adjustable

-type

"eyeball"

return

fitting,

redirect

the

water

fl

ow

so

that

it

does

not

interfere

with

the

cleaner's

movement.

If

the

return

water

fl

ow

is

preventing

the

cleaner

from

functioning

properly,

and

the

pool

is

not

equipped

with

an

adjustable

-type

"eyeball"

fi

tting,

it

will

be

necessary

to

purchase

a

Hayward

AXICI9A

Return

-line

Diverter

or

a

Hayward

SPX1105ZB

90

Degree

Elbow

Fining

from

your

Hayward

dealer.

Now

that

your

cleaner

is

installed

and

operating,

enjoy

a

carefree

pool.

It

is

necessary

to

run

your

cleaner

only

long

enough

to

clean

the

pool

bottom,

not

for

the

entire

filter

cycle.

It

is,

however,

a

good

idea

to

run

your

cleaner

daily,

as

this

is

an

excellent

way

to

improve

water

circulation

and

chemical

distribution

in

the

pool

because

your

cleaner

functions

as

a

moving

"bottom

drain".

Important

Tips

1.

Periodically

check

to

make

sure

all

other

outlets

to

the

pump

are

securely

closed

(i.e.,

other

skimmers

or

bottom

drain)

when

operating

your

cleaner.

2.

Periodically

check

to

make

sure

that

the

cleaner

hose

is

securely

attached

to

the

suction

fitting

in

the

skimmer.

3.

Disconnect

the

cleaner

hose

from

the

skimmer

prior

to

backwashing

the

filter.

Th

is

will

assure

the

fl

ow

of

water

necessary

for

effective

backwashing.

A\

CAUTION

—

When

shock

treating

your

pool,

the

have

normalized.

5.

ih

CAUTION

always

disconnect

the

the

cleaner,

always

use

the
