Adjusting the Hose Assembly to Fit Pool

The hose assembly consists of: Three (3) 3m. (10ft.)
sections, one (1) soft light grey lead hose marked as
section one and two (2) stiffer dark grey feed hoses
marked as sections two and three.
Important to the Performance of the Cleaner:
Measure, cut, and assemble the hose sections as
described in Step 1 and Step 2. Use strong scissors
or a sharp knife to cut the hoses. Be sure to slide the
floats out of the way when cutting hose. Cut hose ends
as straight as possible.
Step 1: Sizing Hose Section 1
1. Measure the deepest part of the pool. See figure
8.
Note: The grate or domed main drain, at the
bottom of the pool, is usually the deepest point. If
the depth is greater than 3m. (10 ft.), do not cut the
hose, and proceed to Step 2.
2. If the pool depth is less than 3m. (10 ft.),
disconnect the soft light grey lead hose, labeled
section one, from the swivel end. Cut the lead
hose so the length is equal to the deepest part of
the pool. See figure 9.
Example: If the pool is 2.6m (8½ ft.) deep, cut
40cm (1½ ft.) off of the hose labelled section one
(since the hose is 3m. (10 ft.)).
3. Discard excess hose. Reconnect the newly cut lead
hose to the swivel on the feed hose. All three hose
sections should now be connected.
Step 2: Sizing Hose Sections 2 and 3
1. Attach the hose assembly to the wall fitting. See figure
10. Then attach the wall fitting (with hose) to the wall
adaptor. See figure 10. Take the opposite end of the
hose assembly and walk to the farthest point of the pool
from the wall adaptor. To prevent over stretching
the hose, rest the hose on top of the pool water.
Measure the excess hose length (hose that extends
beyond pool edge). This determines the amount of
hose to be cut from sections 2 and 3.
2. Disconnect feed hose assembly from the wall adaptor.
Disconnect sections 2 and 3 from the first swivel closest
to the wall fitting.
3. Cut half of the total excess hose length from each hose
labeled section 2 and section 3 (assembled with four
floats) equally. Both feed hose sections should be
the same length after cutting.
Example: If there is 1.8m. (6 ft.) of excess hose. Cut
90cm (3 ft.) off of section 2 and section 3. (Half of 1.8m
(6 ft.) = 90cm (3 ft.) each)
If more than 3 ft. is cut from each hose section, remove
one (1) float from each hose section.
Note: For large pools requiring extra hose lengths
you will need to purchase one (1) additional hose, P/N
360265 (10 ft. single hose). Attach extra hose sections
at the wall fitting using supplied swivel and mender nuts.
