LEGEND® PLATINUM INSTALLATION MANUAL

I. Introduction

A. Thank You for Choosing the

®

Legend

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

The Legend® Platinum has been designed and built
with time proven features and patented innovations
to create an automatic pool cleaner that will give you
years of dependable service. The Legend® Platinum
is built with pride in the U.S.A., 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® Platinum
requires some preventative maintenance and the
replacement of certain working parts. We
recommend that you have your Legend® Platinum
checked annually. For best results have your
Legend® Platinum installed by a qualified swimming
pool professional.

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.
