B. What to Expect from the Legend

®

Platinum

When operating correctly, the Legend® Platinum will
travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming and
sweeping the bottom. The climbing ability of the
Legend® Platinum is dependent on the pool’s 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® Platinum comes equipped with a

Wall Fitting (Part # EW22-White, Part # LLW22PM­Gray) that features a Twist Lock Automatic
Pressure Relief Valve. If the Legend® Platinum 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® Platinum will go into a back up mode.
At this time, the Back Up Valve will pull the Legend
Platinum away from problem areas.

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

®

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® Platinum out of your pool and store it
carefully in a shaded area before anyone enters the
pool.

LEGEND® PLATINUM INSTALLATION MANUAL

D. Installing the Twist Lock Pressure

Relief Valve (Wall Fitting)

1. Take out any existing pool cleaner and/or wall
fitting.

2. Turn on the filtration pump and booster pump,
flush out the plumbing line.

3. Turn off filter pump and booster pump.

4. Remove the Wall Adapter from the Wall Fitting
and screw Adapter by hand into the dedicated

E. Cutting the Feed Hose

The Hose assembly comes in 5 sections now
covering approximately 30 ft. of the pool, which
provides ample hose for most residential pools. The
Back-Up Valve is now 30 in. from the head cleaner
and should always remain this distance. For larger
pools see #14 on page 6 for instructions on Adding

Additional Feeder Hose.

1. Take Feeder Hose out of box (it will be
approximately 30 feet long). Before installing
the unit, you should lay the feed hose out straight
in the sun, (for one day if possible). The hose has
been curled up in the box and sometimes will go
around in a circle. If this happens, take the first or
second section of hose from the wall and reverse
it, (turn it around). You might have to reverse both
sections to correct the problem. Make sure the
feed hose is cut and installed properly.

5. Take the Wall Fitting and Twist Lock the Wall Fitting
into the Wall Adapter 1/4 turn and pull out, to a
snug fit. Once the Wall Adapter is secure, you
can now twist lock and unlock to remove Wall
Fitting with ease from the Wall Adapter.

2. Measure how deep your pool is by using your
telepole or the clear end of the feeder hose.
Cut the clear (soft) hose equal to the depth of your
pool. (Hint: the grate or domed main drain at
the bottom is usually the deepest point.)

Example: The clear (soft) hose is 10 ft. long, if the
pool is 8½ ft. deep, cut 1½ ft. off of the clear (soft)
hose. If the depth is greater than 10 ft., do not cut
the clear (soft) hose.

LEGEND® PLATINUM INSTALLATION MANUAL

F. Checking Operation

When operating correctly, the Legend® Platinum will
travel in a random pattern throughout the pool,
vacuuming and sweeping the bottom. The climbing
ability of the Legend® Platinum is dependent on the
pools structure and water flow coming into the pool.
It will perform more efficiently in pools without sharp
angles or curves in the transition from the floor of the
pool to the wall.

The Legend® Platinum comes with a Twist Lock
Pressure Relief Valve (Wall Fitting). If the Legend
Platinum is receiving too much water pressure, the
Relief Valve in the Wall Fitting will release the excess
water pressure.

Approximately every three minutes and 30 seconds
the Legend® Platinum will go into a back-up mode.
The Back-Up Valve cycle time, while in the back-up
mode, is approximately 30 seconds, pulling the
Legend® Platinum from problem areas.

If the Legend® Platinum does not travel to all areas
of the pool, turn off the booster pump and pool
filtration pump and make the necessary adjustments
from the instructions in the next section.

G. Fine Tuning the Legend® Platinum

1. Thrust Jet Adjustment

There are Thrust Jets located in the back of the
Legend

®

direction of the cleaner. The factory standard position
for the jets are: Left jet set slightly to the right and
Right jet straight out.

(See illustration below.)

New Back-Up Valve Information:

The Back-Up Valve Insert (#MBUVP) which is slid
into the slot over the jet of the valve. This is secured
with a stainless steel screw (#VX-9) as show in the
diagram. The insert will be set from the factory with
the smaller (1/4") hole over the opening of the jet.
The smaller hole is used for the Platinum cleaner. If
you change the insert to the larger (3/8") hole, the
Back-Up Valve will have decreased jet pressure and
possible not pull the unit backwards.

2. Sweep Hose Adjustment

The Sweep Hose operates in a gentle sweeping
motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in
hard to reach corners of the pools. To increase or
decrease the motion of the Sweep Hose, there is an
adjustment screw located on the Feed Mast Barb
below the Ballast Float. Turning the screw clockwise
will decrease the motion and counter clockwise to
increase the motion of the Sweep Hose.

Platinum from the pool.

Have someone turn on pool pump and then booster
pump while you place the Legend

®

Platinum in
the pool just beneath the water surface. (Be sure to
hold onto the Sweep Hose to avoid getting wet).

Count the rotations of the marked wheel for exactly
one minute. (Be sure the Back-Up Valve isn't cycling
at this time). The rotations will give you the
Revolutions Per Minute, (RPM).

For proper performance, the Legend® Platinum
operates between 28-32 RPM. If the RPM is below
28 then call your local Pool Professional or contact
our Technical Support Department at 1-800-831-7133.

If the RPM is more than 32, at the Wall Fitting
unscrew the Pressure Valve slowly until the RPM
falls between 28-32.

If you have any additional questions, please
contact our Technical Support Department @
1-800-831-7133.

D. Periodic Maintenance

A. Connecting/Disconnecting the
Legend® Platinum

Turn off booster pump and pool pump. Then take the
Wall Fitting and twist lock the Wall Fitting clockwise
into the Wall Adapter. To disconnect the Legend
Platinum, unlock and twist counter clockwise. The
Wall Adapter should remain in the pool wall.

B. Turning On/Off the Legend® Platinum

The Legend® Platinum operates off the booster pump
coming from the equipment pad, and can be turned
on or off by merely turning on/off your booster pump
time clock.

C. Cleaning the Sand & Silt Bag

Carefully unlock the debris bag from the vacuum tube
and open the Velcro® Brand Fastener closure at the
top of debris bag and dump debris.

The following parts are wear items that should be
checked, maintained or replaced as needed. Wear
items are considered any working or moving part(s)
being worn due to the use of the cleaner. Wear items
are not covered under warranty.

®

1. Wall Fitting Screen

Inside the wall fitting is a filter screen that acts as a
secondary filter. This screen is to keep debris that is
passed by the pool filter out of the Legend® Platinum.
Running the Cleaner without the filter screen can

®

damage the Legend
warranty.

Platinum and will void the

If you have a lot of debris in your pool, especially
after a storm, you can run your Legend® Platinum in
two shorter cycles per day and empty the debris bag
between cycles.

Reconnect the debris bag to the vacuum tube.
Do NOT over turn.

If the Velcro® Brand Fastener strip on top of the debris
bag does not stay secure, rinse well, let it dry and
clean with a stiff brush.

A Helpful Hint: It is easier to empty the debris bag
when it is dry. A second bag may be used while the
full debris bag is drying.

It's best to empty the debris bag when it becomes
half full. The Legend® Platinum will have better
performance if the bag is not overloaded.

A continuous plugged or dirty screen is a sign of
problems in your pool filtration system and you need
to contact your local pool professional.

To clean the filter screen, pull the screen out from
inside the Wall Fitting and rinse thoroughly and push
back inside the wall fitting.

Whenever cleaning, back washing or repairing the
filter, remove the wall fitting and flush out the
dedicated line before using the Legend

®

Platinum.

(cont.)

2. Tires & Bearings

The tires are designed to protect the bottom of your
pool and provide better traction. You need to rotate
or replace the tires when edges become rounded.

The Wheel Bearings are warranted free of defects
when shipped from Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc.,
and are considered a wear item. A good bearing will
spin freely.

3. Roller Rings

Your Sweep Hose has a series of Roller Rings to
protect the Sweep Hose. Replace the rings as
needed. You can rotate the Roller Rings to prevent
flat spots.

4. Debris Bags

The Sweep Hose is provided to help keep the bottom
and sides of your pool clean. The Sweep Hose is
warranted free of defects when shipped from the
factory, and is considered a wear item.

6. Debris Valve

This valve is located under the Debris Bag, it is
designed to keep the debris inside the bag. It
functions like a check valve to allow the debris to
only enter through the bag one way. Replacement is
needed when valve begins to stiffen.

E. Back Washing the Pool Filter

Always disconnect the Legend® Platinum from the
pool wall before cleaning or back washing the pool
filter. After cleaning or back washing, let the pool
filtration system run for a minimum of five minutes to
flush out the return lines before reconnecting the
Legend® Platinum.

Fine Mesh Sand & Silt Bag

The Legend® Platinum comes with a Sand & Silt bag
for general use in all pools. We do not recommend
using the fine mesh bag to pick up leaves and twigs
or other large debris for they have sharp points and
edges that can poke holes and eventually rip the bag.

Optional Leaf Bag

The leaf bag is a larger mesh bag made to pick up
heavier debris such as leaves, twigs, acorns, etc.
This bag can be helpful especially after a storm.

A Helpful Hint: To prolong the life of bags, remove
cleaner from pool before adding chemicals.

F. Storage and Winterizing

Never leave or store the Legend® Platinum in direct
sunlight. When storing the Legend® Platinum for the
winter, be sure to drain all the water from it. This is
important since freeze damage is not covered under
the warranty. Also, remove the Wall Fitting.

G. Accessories

1. Sweep Hose Weight

If the sweep hose tends to break the surface of the
water therefore squirting nearby windows or innocent
bystanders, a weight can be installed to the end of
the sweep hose.

IV. TROUBLESHOOTING AND PERFORMANCE TIPS

To insure the best performance from your cleaner,

follow the troubleshooting guide listed below.

A. PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

Problem: Legend® Platinum doesn't move or

moves sluggishly or hangs up on steps.

Solution: 1. Be sure filter pump and booster pump

are on and working properly. (You may
need to clean your pool filter system).

2. Check the Wall Fitting screen for debris
and rinse clean.

3. Check wheel RPM (See page 8).

4. Determine if the Back-Up Valve is
cycling. (Hold the valve out of the
water and the jet should come on for
approx. 30 seconds and shut off for
approx. 3 minutes and 30 seconds.)

5. Check all the Hose connections and
Swivels for leaks that can cause loss
of water pressure.

6. Check debris that may be jammed in
the gear teeth on one of the front drive
wheels. Gently rotate the front wheels
backward to dislodge debris.

Problem: Legend® Platinum falling over or lying on

it's side.

Problem: Legend® Platinum will not back up.

Solution: 1. Determine if the Back-Up Valve is

cycling. (Hold the valve out of the
water and the jet should come on for
approx. 30 seconds, and shut off for
approx. 3 minutes and 30 seconds).

2. Check the wheel RPM (See page 8).

3. Empty the debris bag if full or half full.

Problem: Legend® Platinum will not climb.

Solution: 1. Even if your pool doesn't show algae

you still need to brush the sides of the
pool wall.

2. Check the wheel RPM (See page 8).

3. Reposition the Thrust Jet. Loosen the
four screws to adjust the Thrust Jet.

A reminder: The climbing ability of the Legend
Platinum is dependent on the pool's shape and
available water pressure. It will climb better in pools
without sharp angles or curves in the transition
from the pool floor to the pool wall.

®

Solution: 1. This usually indicates the bag needs

to be emptied.

2. Check to see if the ballast float
(EA20-White or LLA20G-Gray) is
leaking by checking if there is water
inside. Unscrew by pull back while
turning counter-clockwise. When it
comes off, shake it and listen for water
in float.

LEGEND® PLATINUM INSTALLATION MANUAL

Problem: Hoses tangling.

Solution: 1. Check the length of the Feed Hose,

they may be to long. (See pages 3-6 ).

2. Check to see that the Feed Hose is
floating on top of surface. Check hose
floats for even spacing.

3. Twist the Hose Swivels to see if they
spin freely and replace any that will not.

4. Lay out the Feed Hose straight in the
full sun to remove any memory.
