MAINTENANCE

The Rebel™ Suction Side Pool Cleaner requires almost no
maintenance. Visually inspect your cleaner from time to time to
make sure that:
• The turbine is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
See "Removing Debris from the Turbine" below.
• The tires are not excessively worn. See Figure 18 on the
next page.
We recommend that you leave the cleaner in your pool, except
during chemical shock treatments.
• During swimming it is easy to unplug the cleaner and pull
it to one side.
• Note: When storing the cleaner, do not coil the hose. Lay
the hose flat in an area protected from direct sunlight.
This cleaner's hose is specially designed to ensure optimum
cleaner performance. Should replacement be required, insist
on genuine Pentair cleaner hose.
Removing Debris from the Turbine
1. Be sure the pool pump is off. Remove the cleaner from the
pool and disconnect the cleaner from the leader hose.
2. Check to see if anything is clogged inside the cleaner. Do
this by positioning the cleaner with the buckle facing you
and attempt to rotate the right side wheel forward. If the
wheel rotates smoothly there probably is no obstruction. If
it won't rotate there is an obstruction.
3. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface. Open the buckle
on the front of the cleaner by pulling it out and down.
Lift the front of the top cover up and then firmly pull it
forward. This will separate the top cover from the cleaner
body and you will now be able to lift the top cover straight
up from the cleaner body (see Figure 15). Set the cover
aside.
Note: The top cover is designed to fit tightly so you may
have to wiggle it a little.
4. Pull the turbine cover straight up and off of the cleaner
body. Set the turbine cover aside. See Figure 16.
5. Remove any visible obstructions from the turbine and
turbine cover.
6. Replace the turbine cover with the swivel assembly
oriented towards the front of the cleaner. See Figure 16.
7. Visually inspect the rest of the cleaner and remove any
debris that may be in the gears, drive shafts, swivel
assembly, etc.
8. Repeat step 2 (turning the right wheel) to insure that the
cleaner runs smoothly.
9. Place the top cover over the swivel assembly.
10. Place the tabs on the back side of the top cover into the
slots on the back side of the cleaner body (see Figure 17).
Once these tabs are seated in the slots the front of the
cover will fall into place.
11. Lock the top cover onto the cleaner body with the locking
buckle on the front of the cleaner.
