More About the Cleaner and Accessories:
Swivel Assembly:
• Insert assembly into cleaner body and
turn 1/4 turn clockwise.
• If you attach a unidapt handle to the
swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure
it is a special, floating unidapt handle
(order No. GW9019; purchase locally).
Use of a different unidapt handle will
hinder the cleaner’s performance.
Hose:
• The unit includes a 20’ hose, an 8’ hose,
and a 4’ hose which will provide excel-
lent coverage in pools up to 27’.
• For pools larger than 27’, add an 8’
extension hose. (Order No. GW9511;
purchase locally).
• For pools smaller than 24’, try the three
hoses together. If 32’ is too much hose,
remove the 8’ section and use only 24’
of hose.
• The hose was designed specifically
for the cleaner. Use of a different type
of hose will reduce the cleaner’s
performance.
Reducer Cone:
• Adapts hose to some skimmers.
• Keeps hose in place in skimmer when
pump stops.
Automatic
Vacuum Regulator:
Hazardous suction. Can
trap or tear hair or body parts. Install
vacuum regulator on all high-vacuum
system
s.
• Every system requires a vacuum
regulator for safe operation.
• Regulator provides vacuum relief in
case cleaner suction is blocked.
• Black rubber diaphragm must
always be submerged. If it sucks air,
the pump will lose prime, which
could damage the pump.
Flow Director:
• Install the flow director only if your
existing inlet fitting in pool does no
give the desired results.
• For best cleaning action, angle the
flow down 45° in a fan out from pool
side (see illustration below).
