Correctly Operating Cleaner - Hayward VIPER 5500 Guia Del Usuario

Movement
When the Viper cleaner is operating properly it will randomly
travel around the bottom and sides of the pool.
Spin-Out
The cleaner will periodically stop and rotate clockwise in order
to provide better pool coverage and to escape from corners
and other obstacles. If the cleaner is momentarily stopped in a
corner or at an obstacle, it will Spin-Out to free itself and
continue moving randomly about the pool. The Spin-Out Cam
determines the frequency of the Spin-Outs. The cleaner comes
equipped with 3 Spin-Out Cams; every 75, 50 (factory
installed) or 30 seconds (75 second and 30 second Cams
are under the Cam Cap (Part F, page 4)).
Sweep Hose
The Sweep Hose should move in a slow, undulating (snake-
like) motion. It moves debris out of tight corners so the cleaner
can vacuum the debris at a more accessible spot in the pool.
The Sweep Hose also stirs fine debris into suspension for
removal by the pool's filtration system. The Sweep Hose
Rollers are wear parts. When the rollers wear-down to the
outer groove (Wear Line) replace the Wear Rollers
(P/N AX5006A). If a hole forms in the Sweep Hose, it must be
replaced with a genuine Hayward Viper Sweep Hose
(P/N AX6000RSHA).

Correctly Operating Cleaner

Cleaning
Debris is vacuumed from below the cleaner and passed
through the vacuum tube into the Debris Bag, where it is held
until the user empties the Bag. The cleaner may not pick up all
debris on the first pass, but your pool should be clean in 3
hours or less (depending on pool size and shape).
Observe the Viper's operation at regular intervals and empty
the bag as necessary. Only operate the Viper for the time
necessary to clean the pool. Excessive use is unnecessary
and will cause premature cleaner wear.
Fine Debris
The Large Capacity Debris Bag, as with other pressure-side
cleaners, does not hold very fine sand or other powder-like
debris. Powder will be blown through the bag and into
suspension so it can be filtered by the pool's filtration system.
Sand (Dense Debris)
Always empty the Viper Bag when sand (or heavy
debris) fills the bag up to the blue "Empty Sand Line".
Pools with excessive amounts of sand should be manually
vacuumed before installing the Viper
The Viper is designed to operate with 1 cup of sand and the
remainder of its bag filled with leaves, acorns, grasses, etc.
Pressure Hose
Most of the pressure hose should remain at the surface of the
water the majority of the time. It is common for the cleaner to
form loops in the hose and eventually work them out. If the
hose becomes knotted or badly tangled, it will limit the range
of the cleaner. To get optimal coverage, remove knots or bad
tangles if found.
