this can cause damage to the pool.

• Lift the Phantom cleaner by its wing (Part A, page 4), never

his Owner’s Guide is for Phantom Turbo owners who want to

T
install their Automatic Pool Cleaner. However, we recommend
that an Authorized Hayward Dealer install the cleaner.

The Hayward 6060 Booster Pump purchased separately or as
part of the Phantom Turbo Automatic Pool Cleaner package offers
optimum cleaner performance. Use of other booster pumps will
provide acceptable performance if they deliver at least 35 Pounds
per Square Inch (PSI) at 12 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) at the
dedicated line pool wall fitting. For electrical and plumbing
installation procedures for the Hayward Booster Pump, refer to the
Owner’s Guide that comes with the Hayward 6060 Booster Pump.
