Important Recommendations; Maintenance Tips - Hayward Pool Vac Ultra Guide De L'utilisateur

Remove the vacuum gauge from the hose and
keep it within easy reach. You will need it from time
to time to check the operation of the Pool vac ultra.
Important: Remove the AEV096 vacuum gauge
after adjusting the Pool vac ultra. It is not desi-
gned to be left in the water and is not covered by
the Pool vac ultra warranty.
Step 8. Observe the Pool vac ultra in operation. The
discharge of water into the pool may affect the clea-
ner, either at the hose on the surface or with the
Pool vac ultra itself at the bottom of the pool. If the
pool's discharge can swivel, turn it so the flow of
water does not interfere with the movements of the
Pool vac ultra. Otherwise, ask your dealer to help
find a solution.
Step 9. Check that the Pool vac ultra moves without
stopping too long at steps and other obstacles (ver-
tical walls, ladders). If it seems to you that the Pool
vac ultra is stuck, set the rear flap adjustment knob
to I (see figure 3).
Step 10. The Pool vac ultra climbs the vertical walls
of cement and fiberglass pools provided that they
join the pool bottom in a smooth curve (radius at
least 30 cm). When the Pool vac ultra climbs a wall,
It may stop short of the top. If the Pool vac ultra
seems not to grip the wall, set the rear flap adjust-
ment knob to III (see figure 3).
If the Pool vac ultra reaches the water surface and
takes in air, set the rear flap adjustment knob to I
(see figure 3). If the cleaner still climbs too high,
reduce the suction power by 25 mm (1") until ope-
ration becomes normal.
About 80% of pool residues are on the bottom, the
remaining 20 % on the walls, so the Pool vac ultra
spends more time cleaning the bottom than the
walls.
Because of the shape of most sunken liner pools
(corners too sharp), the Pool vac ultra is confined to
the bottom (whatever the depth) and sloping walls.
The Pool vac ultra does not climb vertical liner
walls.
Now that your Pool vac ultra cleaner is installed and
working properly, enjoys your pool.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Check regularly that the hose of the Pool vac
ultra is properly connected to the skimmer suc-
tion port.

2. Disconnect the hose of the Pool vac ultra befo-
reback-washing the filter. This is to ensure the
flow of water needed for effective back-
washing.
3. Never coil the hose of the cleaner. The warran-
ty does not cover problems caused by coiled
hoses.
4. Warning: If massive chlorination is applied, it is
essential to remove the Pool vac ultra and its
hose from the pool until the chlorine level
returns to normal.
5. Always disconnect the main hoses from the
Pool vac ultra head when the latter is not in the
pool.
6. Always carry and lift the Pool vac ultra by its
handle, never by the hose.
7. Remove the Pool vac ultra and its hose from
the pool before using the pool.
8. Check the vacuum regularly using the vacuum
gauge. Too much or too little suction is harmful.
9. Keep the back grate clean and free of debris by
regular brushing.
Remark: Bear these points in mind when instal-
ling your Pool vac ultra.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

The Pool vac ultra has a "removable bottom". The
purpose of this feature is readier access to the tur-
bine/suction chamber unit for servicing or cleaning.
Should the Pool vac ultra stop or slow down too
much because of the build-up of residues in the
neck or inside the device, you can reach the turbi-
ne/suction chamber unit (see figure 11).
DISCLAIMER
1. Ageing, sunlight, and chemical treatments
damage the liner.
2. The liner may be weakened and become brittle.
3. The pool's installation and environment may
also affect the liner.
4. When you install your Pool vac ultra, you take
complete responsibility for the condition of your
pool and its environment.
