Step 8: Connect the hose sections (Figures 9 and 10).
For best results and to maintain proper operation, use only
original hoses, or direct replacements (See Repair Parts
page).
Join the hose sections one to another by fitting the male
end to the female end of the added section (see Figure 9).
Make sure the connections are snug. The number of
lengths that you will need depends on the size of your
pool.
Figure 9
The overall length of hose needed will be the distance
from:
(a) the point at which you will attach the hose to the suc-
tion connection, to (b) the furthest point in the pool from
(a), plus one hose length (Figure 10).

Submerge the hose so it fills with water and expels air from
the hose. Attach one ond of the hose to the vacuum source
as descrbed in Steps 2 and 3. Keep the other end of the
hose accessible.
Step 9: Adjust flow
1. Insert the flow gauge into the open end of the hose,
still underwater.
2. Start the pump.
3. Turn the adjustment knob on the flow regulator until
the indicator on the flow gauge is between the maxi-
mum and minimum flow (See Figure 11).
Figure 11 - Flow Indicated on Flow Gauge.
NOTE: If you have a very strong pump and the flow is
still too fast, slightly open the main drain.
4. Turn off the pump.
5. Remove the flow gauge and attache the hose to the
cleaner.
