Installation INSTALLING YOUR HAYWARD CLEANER IS SIMPLE... Note The V094 Regulator Valve and the Hayward Skimmer Vacuum Plate can only be used to LOWER an initial vacuum reading that is TOO HIGH. The Regulator Valve and the Skimmer Vacuum Plate cannot be used to INCREASE the initial vacuum reading. An initial reading that is too low to meet the water flow setting necessary to operate the cleaner is indicative of a system problem, and not a problem with the cleaner. Contact your Authorized Hayward Dealer for assistance. If you have connected your hose to the Hayward Vac Lock, it will be necessary to adjust the vacuum/water flow using the 3-way valve at the filter system. The handle on the valve should be turned so that the Flow Gauge which is installed in the Cleaner hose reads properly (refer to Figure 2). After the 3-way valve has been properly adjusted, the 3-way valve should be marked so that the water flow can be adjusted by referring to the valve handle mark, rather than reinstalling the Flow Gauge in the hose each time an adjustment is necessary. Step 7 Remove the Flow Gauge from the hose and keep it handy. You will want to use the Flow Gauge to check the Cleaner's operation from time to time if the Cleaner is connected to your skimmer. If you are using a Hayward Vac Lock, the Flow Gauge will only be necessary if you neglect to mark the valve gauge, or if replacement of the valve gauge is necessary. Step 8 Check the rear flap adjuster dial at the left rear of the Cleaner. It should be set at position number II which is the middle position (see Figure 5). Submerge the Cleaner into the water to remove all of the entrapped air. When escaping air bubbles cease, you are ready to connect the hose. Connect the hose cuff of the leader hose to the Cleaner and submerge the hose to remove all air as when vacuuming the pool with a standard hand-vacuum (see Figure 6). Do not use the return line/inlet water to "sink" the Cleaner hose, as this will force air into the cleaner head, and possibly cause performance problems. 4
