AquaStar Starztruck Automatic Suction Pool Cleaner - Manual (Page 4)

2
There are nine connector hoses and one leader hose with a grey hose cuff. The hose cuff connects to the top
of the StarzTruck automatic pool cleaner (see Fig. 1).
Connect the StarzTruck automatic pool cleaner hose sections together by pushing and twisting the tapered
male connector end of each hose firmly into the open female end of the adjacent hose section (see Fig. 2).
Depending on the size and shape of your pool, all hose sections might not be used. The hose should reach
from the skimmer or safety vacuum lock wall fitting (AquaStar p/n VLK15Txx) to the furthest point in the
pool plus one extra hose section. If the hose is not long enough, it will be necessary to purchase additional hose
sections from your pool dealer. After the correct hose length has been assembled, fill the hose completely with
water by lowering the attached StarzTruck automatic pool cleaner and then vertically pushing the hose down,
allowing all the air to escape. When the hose is full, remove the StarzTruck automatic pool cleaner from the
hose and insert the flow gauge into the leader hose. Make sure the flow gauge is under water (see Fig. 3).
If optional leaf canister (AquaStar p/n HWN152) is purchased, install between first and second hose sections
(see Fig. 4).
