IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

LEGEND® INSTALLATION MANUAL

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

Important Notice About Your Pool and Legend® Cleaner:

There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The Legend® automatic pool cleaner
is a very passive product that will have no impact on pool life.

Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration and brittleness of any pool finish can be caused
separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation and
other factors. An automatic pool cleaner, such as the Legend®, will not remove or cause wear on “good” pool
plaster. In fact, the opposite is true—pool plaster will eventually cause wear on the cleaner.

The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined inground swimming pools, because vinyl liners are also
affected by the environment and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s surroundings.

Therefore over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by the
workmanship, composition and installation of the liner and the workmanship and quality of construction of
the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner failure. The existence

of any of these type of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of the Legend

®

cleaner.

Pre-installation Check List

Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide.
Failure to follow these instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool
finish or the vinyl liner, Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to

any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.

Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:

Before installing the pool cleaner, examine the interior of your pool carefully. Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from
age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary repairs. Also,
if your vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, or has damage to
the base or supporting walls, do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.

Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:

Before installing the pool cleaner in a gunite pool or pool that is partially or completely tiled; check closely for loose tiles and loose light
fittings. Do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.

Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:

Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper
cleaner operation and coverage.

Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water:

Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to the filtration system
(whether through a skimmer or dedicated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage the pump through dry running and overheating.

Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:

The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed, depending on the pool size.
The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It was also not designed to do
initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your pool for the season.

AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating correctly:

The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the pool finish. Certain
vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to the pattern
caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. is
not responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.

LEGEND® INSTALLATION MANUAL

Important Information:

The Legend® automatic pool cleaner comes ready to connect into a female threaded 1-1/2" (38mm) line,
dedicated to our Universal Booster Pump. Also, if you have a chlorinator, solar system or other air
inducing equipment, please contact our Technical Support Department at 1-800-831-7133 [USA] or
{Herentals – Belgium +32 (0) 14.25.99.11}, before you install the Legend®. (See diagram on Page 8.)

The following are important facts to remember before installing and operating the Legend®.

1. Always disconnect the Legend® from the pool wall when cleaning or back washing the pool filter.

2. After cleaning or back washing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes before
reconnecting the Legend®.

3. New plumbing lines should be flushed out before installing the Legend®.

4. The Legend® should not be used to remove plaster dust in new pools.

5. Always remove the Legend® before swimmers enter the pool.

6. Always handle the Legend® with care. Do not let children or pets play with the unit: it is not a toy.

7. Always pick up the Legend® by the handle, especially when lifting the unit out of the water.

8. Unless checking the wheel RPM, do not handle the Legend® while it is operating.

9. Always remove the Legend® from the pool before chemical shock treatments. As a rule, any pool
water that is unsafe for swimming is unsafe for the Legend®.

10. Carefully cut the feed hose following the instructions on Page 9.

By following these simple guidelines, you can help protect against injury and prolong the life
of your Legend®.

Before the Legend® is installed, please take a moment to record the serial number. This number is
located on your warranty card and on the back of the Legend® near the rear jet. You will be asked for

this number when you contact our Technical Support Department.

LEGEND® INSTALLATION MANUAL

I. Introduction

A. Thank You for Choosing the Legend® Pool Cleaner

Congratulations on the purchase of your new automatic pool cleaner. The Legend® is designed to give
you years of dependable and efficient service. With the Legend®, you and your family will spend more
time relaxing and enjoying your pool and less time cleaning it.

The Legend® has been designed and built with time proven features andinnovations to create
an automatic pool cleaner that will give you years of dependable service. The Legend® is built with pride
by people who care about the product using state of the art materials and backed by a limited warranty
that protects against defects in parts and construction.

Like any mechanical device, the Legend® requires some preventative maintenance and the replacement
of certain hard working parts. We recommend that you have your Legend® checked annually. For best
results have your Legend® installed by a qualified swimming pool professional.

For pool owners with plumbing and mechanical experience, installation instructions are included in this
manual.

Please put safety first!

Be sure to take your Legend® out of your pool and store it carefully in a shaded

area before anyone enters the pool.

B. What to Expect from the Legend

®

When operating correctly, the Legend® will travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming and sweeping
the bottom. The climbing ability of the Legend® 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® comes equipped with a Wall Fitting (Part# EW22/LLW22PM) that features a Twist Lock
Automatic Pressure Relief Valve. If the Legend® is receiving too much water pressure to the unit, the
relief valve can be manually adjusted to reduce water pressure.

Approximately every three minutes and 30 seconds the Legend® will go into a back up mode. At this
time the Back Up Valve will pull the Legend® away from it’s current location increasing it’s random
pattern.

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