The

Hayward

can

be

purchased

separately

from

your

of

your

Hayward

cleaner,

clean

the

at

regular

intervals

according

to

individual

pool

conditions.

Step

Step

There

are

eleven

(I

I)

32"

connector

hoses

and

one

(I)

32"

leader

hose

with

a

gray

cuff.

Connect

the

special

cleaner

hose

sections

together

by

pushing

and

twisting

the

tapered

male

connector

end

of

each

hose

fi

rmly

into

the

female

end

of

the

adjacent

hose

sections

(See

Fig.

4).

Depending

on

the

size

and

shape

of

your

pool,

all

hose

sections

might

not

be

used.

However,

the

leader

hose

MUST

ALWAYS

be

used

or

your

cleaner

will

not

operate

properly.

It

is

not

necessary

to

"Bottom

Out"

the

connections,

but

they

MUST

be

tight

enough

to

prevent

any

air

leaks.

Wetting

the

hose

ends

will

make

it

easier

to

connect

the

hose

sections.
