FIRST!

THE WAVETRUCK AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER

STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SUBMERGING THE HOSES AND CLEANER

Fig. 2

Fig. 1

There are nine connector hoses and one leader hose with a gray hose cu. The hose cu connects

to the top of the WaveTruck automatic pool cleaner (see Fig. 1).

Connect the WaveTruck automatic pool cleaner hose sections together by pushing and twisting

thetaperedmaleconnectorendofeachhosermlyintotheopenfemaleendoftheadjacenthose

section (see Fig. 2). Depending on the size and shape of your pool, all hose sections might not be

used.Thehoseshouldreachfromtheskimmerorsafetyvacuumlockwallttingtothefurthest

purchase additional hose sections from your pool dealer. After the correct hose length has been

assembled,llthehosecompletelywithwaterbyloweringtheattachedWaveTruckautomaticpool

STEP 3: TESTING THE FLOW

Ensure that the hose is full of water and that your pump is running. Remove the WaveTruck auto-

matic pool cleaner from the hose, then insert the ow gauge into the leader hose. Make sure the ow

gauge is underwater (see Fig. 7), and with the opposite end of the hose attached to a dedicated suc-

tion or skimmer port observe the ow gauge. The optimal level is inbetween the MAX and MIN lines

of the ow gauge. If the setting is higher than the MAX marking, it will be necessary to reduce the

ow using the regulator valve described in Step 4.

STEP 4: ADJUSTING WATER FLOW

Observe your WaveTruck automatic pool cleaner in operation at higher speed with dual or variable speed

pumps. Adjust the regulator, three-way or ball valve to speed up or slow down the cleaner (see Fig. 8).

The rear ap tension adjuster is preset to II. When the WaveTruck automatic pool cleaner seems to be spending

too much time against steps, vertical walls and other obstructions, turn the rear ap tension adjuster to position

I (see Fig. 9). Sometimes adjusting your ow valve up or down will also help. Custom pools with interior bar

stools, fountains, planters, etc., will require someone to physically free the cleaner in the case that its becomes

trapped.TheWaveTruckautomaticpoolcleanerwillclimbverticalwallsinconcreteandberglasspools(not

CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE SHOES, WINGS AND FLAPS PERIODICALLY

The pod shoes and wings have wear indicators on their sides and should be checked occasionally to determine

if replacement is needed. The shoe wear indicator is a line on the side of the pod shoe that appears as a

dierenceintexture.Whenthistexturedierenceisnolongervisibleatthebottomoftheshoewhenviewed

from either side, the shoes must be changed (see Fig. 13). The wing wear indicator is located on the side and

is a horizontal line which has three vertical lines above it. When you can no longer see the horizontal line, the

wings must be replaced (see Fig. 14 on page 8 ).

POD SHOE REPLACEMENT

A. Turn unit upside down.

B. Insert screwdriver between foot and shoe on one of the pods (see Fig. 13).

C. Using a lifting motion, remove the shoe from the foot.

D. Dip a new shoe in water and attach the shoe to the foot, making sure to put the small post into the small hole

and the large post into the large hole. These posts and holes are dierent sizes to prevent the shoes from being

improperly installed.

E. Repeat steps b, c and d for each shoe.
