Installation Instructions
- Turn off the pool circulation system and remove cleaner from pool.
- Disconnect hose and prepare a clean work area.
- Remove the old foot pad from the base of the cleaner.
- Install the new K12450 foot pad, ensuring it is seated properly and aligned to mounting points.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Tip
-
Cleaner slipping or losing suction: Inspect the foot pad—if it’s cracked, flattened or missing the seal lip, replace with this K12450 kit.
-
Cleaner not traversing pool surface: Verify hose length and cleaner function; worn foot pads often reduce effective motion and coverage.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the foot pad whenever you service the cleaner or notice performance decline. Replacing the pad at first signs of wear helps maintain full suction, prolong cleaner life, and ensure efficient pool cleaning between maintenance visits.
