Installation Notes
Before installation, switch off the pool pump and disconnect cleaner hose from the skimmer or suction line. Remove the cleaner’s lower body to access existing flap assemblies. Remove old flaps, springs and mounting pins, clean the flap pockets, then install the new flaps and springs in the correct front and rear positions. Reassemble the cleaner body, reconnect the hose, turn on the pump, and observe climbing performance to confirm proper function.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the flaps and springs annually or when you notice decreased wall-climbing, sluggish navigation, or excessive hose twisting. Replace the flap kit when flaps appear cracked, split, or no longer seal properly. Regular service helps avoid inefficient cleaning, increased wear on hose and vacuum parts, and maintains optimum cleaner performance.
