5. Remove any visible obstructions from the turbine and turbine
cover.
6. Replace the turbine cover with the swivel assembly oriented
towards the front of the cleaner. See Figure 12.
7. Visually inspect the rest of the cleaner and remove any debris
that may be in the gears, drive shafts, swivel assembly, etc.
8. Repeat step 2 (turning the right wheel) to insure that the cleaner
runs smoothly.
9. Place the top cover over the swivel assembly.
10. Place the tabs on the back side of the top cover into the slots on
the back side of the cleaner body (see Figure 13). Once these
tabs are seated in the slots the front of the cover will fall into
place.
11. Lock the top cover onto the cleaner body with the locking buckle
on the front of the cleaner.
Tire Replacement
After prolonged use it may become necessary to replace the "Wheels Vac" 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.
Figure 14: Tire Wear Comparison
To install the replacement tire:
1. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface and seat the top of the rubber tire onto the top of the wheel. Be sure that the
back lip of the tire is resting flat on the inside edge of the wheel.
Note: Replace the tire by hand. Using other objects (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.) to replace the tire may damage the
wheel.
2. Stretch the bottom of the tire over the bottom of the wheel. Be sure that the back lip of the tire is resting flat on the inside
edge of the wheel.
3. Fold the back lip of the tire onto the back of the cleaner wheel along the entire cleaner wheel. The tire should lie flat on
the top surface of the wheel.
