Connect the Hose
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERAT-
ING THE CLEANER. Ensure that your vacuum suction fi ttings installed in your pool for connection of
your suction-side pool cleaner are certifi ed as being compliant with applicable safety standards such as
IAPMO SPS 4. Do not block the suction fi ttings in the pool, the suction opening on the cleaner, or the
cleaner hoses with any part or your body. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to any
suction outlet fi ttings in the pool/spa or on the cleaner.
Turn on the filtration system and fill the hose with water by placing the end in front of a return inlet until it
is flooded. Turn off the pump.
To connect to a dedicated suction line:
1. Insert the male end of the hose into the large end of the
45° elbow.
2. Connect the elbow to the safety vac wall fitting.
3. Angle the elbow upward towards the water surface.
To connect to a skimmer:
The FlowKeeper valve must always be used in single
TM
skimmer installations. The valve regulates flow to ensure the pool pump
and cleaner run properly. It is pre-set at the factory to optimize the per-
formance of the cleaner, but offers three settings to adjust the flow. The
lower the setting number, the lower the flow. To adjust, pull the handle
and move setting up or down. The red tab can be used to open the valve
and stop the cleaner.
If the pool has more than one skimmer, connect the hose to the one
closest to the pump.
The parts used to connect the hose, and the sequence in which they
are installed depends on the type of skimmer.
