The Hayward Viio Turbo Automatic Pool Cleaner is designed to
connect to a threaded 1-1/2 inch female pipe fitting on a
dedicated return line that is powered by a 3/4 H.P. Booster
Pump. You should have a licensed electrician install the
cleaner’s booster pump. The Booster Pump must be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and all local code requirements. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Failure to follow the safety warnings below may result
in severe injury, death or property damage.
• Always disconnect and remove the cleaner and pressure
hose before entering the pool.
• Always handle with care. Do not let children or pets play
with the cleaner; it is not a toy.

Preparing the Pool
The Viio cleaner should not be used to clean the
pool for spring start-up until the following steps
ave been taken:
h
1. Clear the pool of any large objects that might interfere
with the cleaner’s operation.
2. Check to see that the water is at the recommended level.
3. Check the water chemistry. The water should be properly
balanced (pH level) and the pool free from algae.
Note: Algae can adversely affect the operation and
performance of the cleaner.
4. Clean or backwash the filtration system without the Viio
cleaner in the pool.
Caution – Risk of Equipment Damage.
Always disconnect the Viio cleaner and hoses from
the Universal Wall Fitting and remove from pool before
backwashing or cleaning the filtration system. Failure
to do so can damage the Booster Pump and Cleaner.
5. Clean the filtration system pump’s strainer basket.
Note: Following the installation of the Viio cleaner,
clean the system at regular intervals according to
individual pool conditions.

Pools with Excessive Sand
Pools with excessive amounts of sand (dense debris)
should be vacuumed manually before installing the Viio.
The Viper Bag has a larger mesh area toward the bottom
of the bag that allows sand in excess of 1 cup to pass
through the bag. This feature enables the Viio to continue
to operate picking up leaves, acorns, grasses etc. without
