Periodic Maintenance

Periodically inspect the RACER
Cleaner and its components. Replace and/or repair
any worn or damaged components. Failure to follow
instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can
result in damage to the cleaner, pool finish, or vinyl liner.
The following parts are wear items that should be
inspected periodically and replaced as needed:

Tires

The tires are designed to protect the bottom of your
pool and provide traction. Tires will wear and need to
be replaced occasionally.

Debris Bags

The cleaner comes with a general purpose bag and is
used for all debris types. Replace bag when the fabric
is torn or punctured.
Note: To prolong the life of your cleaner, remove it
from pool before adding chemicals.

Sweep Hose

The sweep hose is provided to help keep hard to
reach corners of your pool clean. Replace sweep hose
scrubber as necessary if used.

Sweep Hose Roller Rings

Your sweep hose has a series of roller rings to protect
the sweep hose. Replace the rings as needed. Ensure
the roller rings rotate freely.

Backwashing the Pool Filter

Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall before
cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning or
backwashing, let the pool filtration system and booster
pump run for a minimum of five minutes to flush out the
return lines before reconnecting the cleaner.

Storage and Winterizing

You may leave the wall adapter in the wall and store
the hoses straight, without any kinks. If storing the
hose coiled, be sure to lay the hose straight in the sun
for 12 to 24 hours before using again.

Cleaning the Wall Fitting Debris Screen

Inside the wall fitting is a stainless steel screen that
acts as a secondary filter. This screen captures debris
that may have passed through the pool filter.
The wall fitting debris screen
should be cleaned once a week.
Failure to regularly clean the debris screen could
damage the cleaner.

IMPORTANT!

A dirty screen may be an indication
of potential issues in your pool filter system
and you may need to contact your local pool
professional.
Note: Running the cleaner without the debris screen
can damage the cleaner and void the warranty.
To clean the debris screen:
1. Switch the booster pump and then the filtration pump
off.
2. Remove the wall fitting from the wall adaptor.
3. Pull the screen out from inside the wall fitting.
4. Rinse thoroughly until clean and insert back inside
the wall fitting.
5. Whenever cleaning, backwashing or repairing the
pool filter, also clean the wall fitting screen after your
first cleaner cycle.
