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
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
suction source (whether skimmer or
dedicated suction line) to the furthest
point in the pool. If the hose seems to
be too long, remove the 8’ section pro-
vided. Do not cut the 20’ hose.
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.
Flow gauge (Figure 15A)
The flow gauge is inserted into
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.
Reducer cone (Figure 15B)
The reducer cone is required to make
most hose connections. When used, it will
keep the hose in place if the filter system
is stopped.
Automatic vacuum regulator (Figure 16A)
Hazardous suction. Can cause entrap-
ment with severe personal injury or drowning.
Vacuum regulator should be installed in
all situations. The vacuum regulator has
an adjustment knob. If suction is too high,
the knob is turned counter-clockwise to
decrease the suction. If the suction is too
low, then the knob is turned clock-wise to
increase the suction.
The regulator is installed in the skimmer.
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.
Vac port fitting (Figure 16B)
Suction entrapment, injury, and drown-
ing hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction
port (“vac port”) for vacuuming or for an automatic
pool cleaner, it must be covered when not in use.
A spring loaded safety cover (the
“Vac Port Fitting”) is included with
this pool cleaner. Install it on the
suction port to prevent entrapment
and injury. For details please refer
to the Vac Port instruction sheet
included with your Vac Port.
