Viper Hayward 5500 - Manual (Page 11)

10 Use Only Genuine Hayward Replacement Parts.
Operating the Viper Cleaner
1. Be sure all filtration system valves are open and supplying
water to the Booster Pump.
2. Be sure valves to and from the Booster Pump and
dedicated return line are fully opened.
3. a) The Viper Cleaner and its Booster Pump can only
operate when the pool's filter pump is operating. With the
cleaner assembled and connected, place the cleaner in
the pool. b) Turn the pool’s filtration system ON and run
for several minutes, or until all the air has been purged
from the system. c) Turn the Booster Pump ON.
Caution - Risk of Equipment Damage
Failure to open valves fully and/or failure to have the filtration
system operating will damage the Booster Pump. This damage
voids the Booster Pump’s warranty
Setting Pressure
Important: The cleaner will not operate properly if the
pressure is not properly set. Too little pressure will prevent
proper movement and cleaning. Too much pressure will cause
poor cleaning and premature wear of Cleaner parts.
Warning - Risk of Injury
Be careful to hold the cleaner head under water and not to be
sprayed by jets in the cleaner head, the Sweep Hose or the
Jetted Swivel. Never point a jet or hose at people or pets.
1. With the cleaner assembled, connected, the filtration
system pump and the Booster Pump running, hold the
cleaner head by the wing, under the water near the
Wall Connector.
2. The cleaner comes equipped with a self-adjusting
pressure regulator in the Wall Quick Connect fitting. If
the cleaner is receiving too much water pressure, it
will restrict water flow at the Wall Quick Connect fitting.
3. With the cleaner in forward mode, read the pressure on
the gauge connected in the hose near the cleaner. If the
pressure is between 25 and 30 PSI your cleaner is
operating properly, proceed to step 8. If the
pressure gauge is below 25 PSI go to step 4. If the
pressure is above 30 PSI, turn the Booster Pump
OFF and remove the Wall Quick Connect from the
Universal Wall Fitting and confirm the Red
Automatic Flow Regulator and Adapter Ring are in
place.
4. If Pressure is below 25 PSI: With the Booster Pump
and Filtration Pump OFF push the Wall Quick Connect
into the wall, turn it to the right and pull the Wall Quick
Connect out of the Universal Wall Fitting.
5. Remove the Red Automatic Flow Regulator and Adapter
Ring from the end of the Wall Quick Connect.

6. Reconnect the Wall Quick Connect into the Universal Wall
Fitting. Turn the Filtration Pump and Booster Pump ON.
7. Confirm that the Pressure Gauge reads between 25 and
30 PSI. Proceed to Step 8. If the pressure is still below 25
PSI, check for clogged Filter, Pump Strainer Basket, Main
Drain, Skimmer Basket, etc., to determine why there is
insufficient water pressure at the Dedicated Line.
8. Turn the Booster Pump and Filtration Pump OFF.
9. Remove the Pressure Gauge T-Fitting and the
3 inch hose. Store the T-Fitting and spare Mender Nut
with the Owner’s Guide in a safe place.
10. Attach the 1 foot hose to the Jetted Swivel – be sure that
the arrow on the Jetted Swivel and the arrow on the
Cleaner Connector align with the line on the hose.
11. Place the cleaner in the pool, turn the Filtration system
ON, then turn the Booster Pump ON.
