3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Your Avenger®has been designed for simple installation and low maintenance.
Step 1. Clean or backwash your filter and empty the skimmer basket.
Step 2. Turn off all ancillary equipment such as waterfalls, spa seats and spillover
spas while the Avenger®is operating to ensure maximum performance.
Check the main drain opening is plugged (vacuum position) in the skimmer
box and, if applicable, secondary skimmers are closed. Your Avenger®needs
good suction to work correctly. Contact your place of purchase if you have
questions or require advice about ancillary equipment.
Step 3. Unpack your Avenger®near the skimmer box of the pool.
Step 4.Check the Teflon slip ring is placed
between the top of the Upper Body
and the Outer Extension Pipe.
Step 5.Place the Deflector Wheel onto the
main body of the Avenger Head
Assembly and screw the hand nut
tight to hold in place.
Step 6.Push the Leader Hose Adaptor into
the end of one of the hose lengths
and attach to the Avenger®Head.
Join together and attach the
remaining hose needed from the
skimmer to the furthest point plus
one additional hose length.
4.

Step 7. Attach the Hose Weight on the
second hose from cleaner head about
midway. The Hose Weight can be
adjusted up or down the hose to
achieve the correct balance. The disc
and foot should be flat/horizontal to
the bottom of the pool when resting.
Step 8. Submerge the cleaner head and first
hose length in the water - make sure
that there are no air bubbles inside.
Step 9. Ensure there is no trapped air
anywhere in the hose. An easy way
to do this once the required hose is
tightly joined is to hold the end of the
final hose length over the pool return,
allowing the flowing water to push
the air through the hose and out of
the cleaner.
Step 10.Attach the Speed Control/Weir Cuff
to the final hose length. Ensure that
the vacuum plate in your skimmer
box is properly fitted, and push the
Speed Control/Weir Cuff into the hole.
Remember the main drain opening
in the skimmer must be plugged
(vacuum position)and, if applicable,
secondary skimmers are closed.
Your Avenger®requires good suction
to work correctly.
Step 11.Switch the pump on and your
Avenger®should start cleaning.
Adjust the Speed Controller to the
optimal setting. If you experience
difficulties check for good suction where
the Avenger®attaches to the hose
using the suction tester gauge supplied.

4. IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENTS
Here are some points to ensure your Avenger®operates at maximum performance.
• Ensure that the Avenger®is
properly balanced. The cleaner
at rest should sit flat on the floor of
the pool. You can adjust the balance
by moving the hose weight up or
down the hose. You may also
find the best balance without the
Hose Weight attached.
•Ensure that the Avenger®has the
correct amount of suction.
Adjusting the speed controller varies
the suction to the head of the
cleaner, and thus alters its speed.
Use the Suction Tester on the end
of the hose (instead of the cleaner)
to gauge the suction level and adjust the speed controller accordingly.
•Ensure that the Avenger®covers
all of the pool. Suction cleaners
have no programmed route, and
their movement depends largely on
the flow of water throughout the
pool. Making adjustments to the
eyeball returns of the pool can
help the cleaner cover dead spots, or prevent the cleaner from sticking in
corners.
If you encounter any problems with the Avenger®automatic pool cleaner refer
to the troubleshooting guide prior to contacting your place of purchase.
5. CARING FOR YOUR AVENGER®
Here are some tips for looking after your Avenger®, to ensure that it provides many
years of faithful service.
•Don’t leave your Avenger®out of the pool in the sun for prolonged
periods. If you take it out of the pool, store it in the shade. Prolonged
summer sun can be detrimental to your Avenger®.
•Store the hose lengths straight. If the cleaner is out of the pool, ensure
that the hose is dismantled and the lengths stored straight. Curling the
lengths up can often impress a curled memory into the hose causing it
to tangle in the pool and affect your Avenger®operation.
6.

•Take the Avenger®out in unusual circumstances. If your pool is green
and cloudy or if you are going to add any large doses of chemicals or
superchlorinating, it’s best to take the cleaner out of the pool until it returns
to normal. Unusual chemical balance can severely damage and deteriorate
your Avenger®.
•Remove any sharp objects from the pool by hand. Sharp twigs, nuts,
small pool toys, stones and bottle caps can damage the soft diaphragm
inside. It’s best to remove these type of objects before your Avenger®gets
there first.
Children and pets are responsible for most damage caused to pool cleaners. Please
ensure your Avenger®is never used as a toy and it will give you years of dependable
service.

in the pool. Try adding or taking away one or two hose lengths.
• Ensure that all the returns are directing water flow towards
the floor of the pool, adjusting the eyeballs, or using water
diverters available at your local pool shop.
• Ensure that hose is straight and untangled.
Avenger®doesn’t climb • Increase the suction using the speed controller.
• Ensure the pool water is properly balanced. For example,
High pH and/or lack of chlorine, makes the walls very slippery.
• Check float arm is in the correct position.
Note: In pools with a sharp 90 degree wall-to-floor it is
unreasonable to expect the cleaner to climb the walls.

or on pool steps. • Ensure that all the returns are directing water flow towards
the floor of the pool, adjust the eyeballs, or use water diverters
available at your local pool shop. Excess water movement on
the water surface will hold or push the hose.
• Add optional hose motors and / or replace wheel deflector
with larger size available from your local pool shop.
That’s it! From all of us at Pool Systems, we wish you all the best for summer after
summer of hassle free pool cleaning with the Avenger®!
The AutoPilot®floatation chamber is factory set in the
middle position.
If your Avenger®is staying on walls or staying on the
floor simply try adjusting the float up or down as well as
adjusting the hose weight and suction at the speed
control valve.
