AquaStar Starztruck Automatic Suction Pool Cleaner - Manual (Page 7)

Some skimmers have a vari-flow or diverter valve in the bottom of the skimmer. This valve can be turned
to regulate skimming and main drain suction. Turn the valve to full skim and then adjust the Flow Gauge
vacuum gauge by turning the valve toward main drain suction. Usually this valve is the same size as the
hose end, and it will therefore be necessary to purchase an hwn158 Hose Connector (see Fig. 8). After the
proper gauge reading has been established, the diverter valve will have to be locked in place with a wedge
of some kind so that it won’t change position with operation of the StarzTruck.
Periodically check the water flow/vacuum to be sure that the StarzTruck is operating as efficiently as
possible. Remember, too much vacuum is just as bad as too little.
Periodically check to make sure that the StarzTruck hose is securely attached to its suction source
(i.e. Skimmer, Skimmer Vacuum Plate, Safety Vacuum Lock, etc.).
Disconnect the StarzTruck hose from the skimmer/regulator valve, or, if using a dedicated line, turn cleaner
valve off before backwashing, so that you’re not restricting water flow.
Never coil the StarzTruck hose. Damage caused by coiling the hose is not covered under the warranty.
When the StarzTruck is out of the pool, always disconnect the leader hose from the StarzTruck head.
Always carry the StarzTruck by the molded-in handle. Do not carry it by the hose.
When swimming in the pool, remove the StarzTruck from the water.
If you are going to super-chlorinate, shock or add gas chlorine to your pool, make sure the cleaner and hose
are removed before doing so.
