B. What to Expect from the Legend® II

When operating correctly, the Legend® II will travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming and sweeping the bottom. The climbing ability of the Legend® II is dependent on the pools shape. It will climb better in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

The Legend® II comes equipped with a Wall Fitting (Part# LXW22) that features a Twist Lock Automatic Pressure Relief Valve. If the Legend® II is receiving too much water pressure to the unit, the relief valve will automatically reduce water pressure.

Approximately every three minutes and 30 seconds the Legend® II will go into a back up mode. At this time the Back Up Valve will pull the Legend® II away from problem areas.

Occasionally some vinyl pools have steps installed so the unit may not climb and remains stationary until the Back Up Valve pulls the unit away from the steps. When this occurs you need to use the optional Step Adapter (Part# EU13) to prevent wearing the vinyl liner.

The Sweep Hose operates in a gentle sweeping motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in hard to reach corners of the pool.
