TURBINE SUCTION CLEANER SAFETY WARNINGS
Owner’s Manual
Congratulations on the purchase of your Hayward automatic suction pool
cleaning system. Your cleaner is the smart, ecient way to clean your aboveground pool.
Hayward turbine cleaners are powered by your pool’s filter system and are
designed to work well with most systems. The performance of the cleaner in your
pool will be relative to its power source. Because the operation and performance
of the cleaner are system reliant, there is a remote possibility that a service call
may be necessary to complete the proper installation of your cleaner. This call
will be at the consumer’s expense.
Lastly, one or more of the accessories designed for the cleaner, including
additional hose sections, might be applicable to your installation. Consult
your Hayward dealer for prices and availability.
DO NOT use to remove large debris in new pools.
REMOVE cleaner and hose before adding ANY chemicals to your pool.
DO NOT swim with cleaner.
Store the cleaner in a shaded, safe area.
Hoses must be stored straight. DO NOT coil the hose.
KEEP AWAY from children and pets.
REMOVE cleaner when performing backwash.
REMEMBER safety first.

Sizing Suction Hose
Step 1
Connect hose sections.
Note: Make sure all connections
are tight to prevent air leaks.
TIP: Wetting the hose ends will
make it easier to connect the
hose sections.
If optional leaf canister is purchased, install between 1st and 2nd
hose sections starting from the wall connector or skimmer.
Pull hose to farthest location in the pool opposite the wall connector or
skimmer + 2 extra hose sections.

Reading Too High?
If the black disk is outside of the box on the “MAX” side and you
have connected your hose to the skimmer, reduce the vacuum/
water flow by using one of the following:
• Suction valve(s) in the filter system (if equipped with)
• Hayward regulator valve
To install the Hayward regulator valve:
1. Remove the hose from the skimmer cone adapter.
2. Close the regulator valve by rotating the blue collar clockwise
until tight.
3. Insert the regulator valve onto the skimmer cone adapter and the
hose end into the regulator valve.
4. Turn the filter system on and allow it to evacuate any air in
the system.
5. Turn the blue collar clockwise until black disk appears between
“MIN” and “MAX” markings.
Step 5
Check the water flow reading on
the flow gauge.
The black disk should be between
the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.
If the disk is in the proper location,
move on to step 6.
