ABOUT THE CLEANER AND ACCESSORIES:

Swivel assembly (Figure 13)
Installing the swivel assembly is a snap.
Just insert it into the cleaner body and
give it a quarter turn.
If you attach a unidapt handle to the
swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure it
is the special, floating unidapt handle
Figure 13
provided with the cleaner (Replacement
Part No. AT5119). Use of a different
unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner's performance.
Hoses (20', 8', and 4' lengths – Figure 14)
The unit includes a 20' hose, an 8'
hose, and a 4' hose. Do not cut any of
these hoses.
The best hose length is at least 4'
longer than the distance from your
4'
suction source (whether skimmer or
dedicated suction line) to the furthest
20'
point in the pool. If the hose seems to
be too long, remove the 8' section pro-
vided. Do not cut the 20' hose.
8'
Be sure to connect the tapered end of
the 20' hose (marked "connect to
cleaner") to the cleaner head.

If additional hose is needed, use only
the specially designed 8' extension hose
from your Aquatools dealer (order replacement part No.
AT5111). Use of another manufacturer's hose will hinder
cleaner coverage (this also holds true for the 20' hose). If
you need to replace the 20' hose, buy only the original
equipment hose (order replacement part No. AT5821).
Hose (6" connector ) female x female (purchase accesso-
ry No. AT5121) If required, this will accommodate a
male x male connection at the skimmer.

the hose before attaching the
hose to the cleaner. With the
pump running, the regulator is
adjusted until the indicator on
the flow gauge is between
maximum and minimum flow.

Bumper Inserts (see Key 2A, Page 10) help to make the
cleaner more buoyant to allow better access to the shal-
low end of the pool. Do not install inserts from the top;
they will become jammed and not work properly. Only
install inserts from the bottom.
If the bumper on the cleaner appears to lift the cleaner
to the surface of the pool, check for trapped air in the

ment with severe personal injury or drowning.
The hose will connect to the dedicated vacuum port, or
to the top of the regulator if the pool lacks a suction port.
The regulator must be capped if a hose is not connected
to it.
Make sure the vacuum regulator is submerged at all
times. If not, the pump will suck air through the regulator
and lose prime. This could damage the pump.

port ("vac port") for vacuuming or for an automatic
pool cleaner, it must be covered when not in use.

most hose connections. When used, it will

until the cleaner rests on the pool floor and operates
properly.
