Return Line Water Flow
IMPORTANT: The water flow from your return line can push the 'LIL REBEL® Aboveground Suction Side Pool Cleaner's
hose and affect its performance. It may cause the cleaner to steer away from the end of the pool where the return line is
located, or it may cause your cleaner to remain in one section of the pool. To correct this, use a eyeball diverter.
Eyeball Diverter Positions
Position the diverter opening to redirect the return line
water flow so it does not interfere with the cleaner's
movement. Try different positions to see which works
best in your pool:
• flow directed along the side of pool (the tile line).
• flow directed downward.
• flow directed against the hose will help steer the cleaner
away from obstructions such as stairs and ladders.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump
on. The cleaner should begin moving across the pool floor
vacuuming up debris in its path.
MAINTENANCE
The 'LIL REBEL® Aboveground 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 14 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 11). 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 12.
