2.1 Fitting the Quick Release Cassette
System
Hold the Ranger with one hand and fit the Quick
Release Cassette System as shown on the Diagram
1. Tighten the Cassette Swivel Nut by turning it
+/- 3 turns clockwise.
2.2 Fitting the Deflector Wheel
Every Ranger Pool Cleaner is supplied with a
Deflector Wheel. The purpose of this wheel is
to protect the Outer Extension Pipe, outside
housing and also to guide the Ranger away
from swimming pool steps or stairs. Position the
Deflector Wheel on the Outer Extension Pipe as
in Diagram 2, making sure that the top clips are
seated in the groove. Ensure that the Deflector
Wheel rotates freely.
The filtration system must be operating at its maximum water flow before you install your Ranger,
otherwise you will have to readjust it after cleaning the pool filter.
Installation is easy if you follow these simple preliminary steps:
1.1 Empty the weir basket
1.2 Clean the pump basket
1.3 Backwash the filter until the sight glass is clear
1.4 Adjust all return jets (whether your pool has one, two or more) to point downwards and towards each
other so that you DO NOT see a circular water flow or ripples on the surface of your pool

3.1 Always insert the male hose cu into the female cu and twist until hose locks together. Hoses must
connect fairly tightly. Setting 1 or 2 is recommended on the Twist Lock Ratchet System. The ideal length of
hose is from the weir to the farthest point of the pool plus one extra section of hose. If the weir is opposite
the steps, use lowest step as furthest point (see Diagram 3). To ensure the best performance from your
Ranger, please ensure that only genuine Long-Life Twist Lock Hoses are used.
3.2 Fit the hose weight to the first section of the hose +/- 1 meter from the Ranger head.
ASSEMBLING YOUR HOSES

3.3 Bleed all the air from the hose by placing one end over the return jet – thus filling the hose length with
water
3.4 Keeping the hose-ends underwater, move the hose from the return line to the weir and connect the
male cu directly to the Auto Weir Valve 90 Elbow.
3.5 Ensure that the Auto Weir Valve is firmly attached to the weir vacuum lid.
4.1 Add your hose protector to the hose which connects to your WEIR (Not pool cleaner). Place hose in
one half of hose protector. Place other half over hose ensuring male clips line up with the female clips.
Apply pressure to both until they lock together
