Tire Replacement

After prolonged use it may become necessary to replace the 'LIL REBEL® Aboveground Suction Side Pool Cleaner's rubber tires.
When the tire surface has worn into the tire's grooves the tire is in need of replacement. See Figure 14.
To remove the cleaner tire:
1. Turn the pool pump off and remove the cleaner from the pool.
2. Disconnect the cleaner from the leader hose.
3. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface and fold the tire off of the wheel from top to bottom.
Note: Remove the tire by hand. Using other objects (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.) to remove the tire may damage the wheel.
