Measure

Hose

Lengths

A

simple

rule

of

thumb

to

measure

hose

requirements

is

to

measure

the

distance

from

the

skimmer

(or

dedicated

suction

line)

to

the

farthest

point

in

the

pool

then

add

three

(3)

extra

hose

sections.

This

extra

length

is

absolutely

necessary

for

proper

operation

of

your

cleaner.

If

the

total

hose

length

is

not

long

enough,

it

will

be

necessary

to

purchase

additional

hose

sections

from

your

Hayward

dealer.

The

hose

length

supplied

(32

feet)

has

been

determined

to

be

sufficient

for

the

majority

of

pools,

nationally.

If

your

hose

requirement

is

more

than

this,

you

must

purchase

additional

hose

sections

for

your

cleaner

to

work

properly.

Step

6

Cheek

the

bumper

ring

located

on

the

bottom

of

your

cleaner

to

make

sure

it

turns

freely.

It

may

be

necessary

to

reposition

the

ring

on

the

small

wheels.

Next,

read

the

instructions

on

the

warning

label

applied

to

the

top

of

the

cleaner.

Submerge

your

cleaner

into

the

water

and

remove

all

of

the

entrapped

air.

When

escaping

air

bubbles

cease,

you

are

ready

to

connect

the

leader

hose.

The

leader

hose

has

a

gray

cuff

that

reads

"REMOVE

LABEL

AND

CONNECT

TO

CLEANER".

Connect

the

gray

cuff

of

the

leader

hose

to your

cleaner

(Sec

Figure

5)

and

submerge

the

entire

lengths

of

hose

to

remove

all

of

the

air

as

when

vacuuming

the

pool

with

a

standard

hand

vacuum.

Step

With

the

filter

system

turned

OFF,

connect

the

hose

to

the

skimmer

according

to

Figures

6,

7,

or

8.

NOTE:

The

optional

methods

for

installing

the

hose

over

the

pool

rail

or

through

the

top

opening

in

the

skimmer.

Figure

6

shows

the

proper

way

to

connect

the

hose

to

a

skimmer

with

a

bottom

suction

port

using

the

AXV093BP

Skimmer

Cone

Adapter

(included).

Figure

7

shows

the

proper

way

to

connect

the

hose

into

a

skimmer

that

has

a

back

or

side

suction

port.

In

this

case,

the

standard

AXV093BP

cannot

be

used

because

of

the

skimmer

configuration,

and

the

optional

AXV151

90

-degree

Elbow

must

be

purchased

from

your

Hayward

dealer.

Figure

8

shows

the

proper

way

to

connect

the

hose

to

a

skimmer

that

has

an

"in

the

pool"

vacuum

port.

The

AXV093BP

Skimmer

Adapter

Cone

slides

over

the

vacuum

adapter

that

was

supplied

with

your

skimmer

for

connecting

a

hand

vacuum.

Also,

it

is

necessary

to

utilize

the

vacuum

lid supplied

with

the

skimmer

so

that

your

cleaner

will

operate

properly.
