Overview

®
The RACER LS Pressure Side Pool Cleaner travels in a random pattern throughout the pool, vacuuming and
sweeping the bottom. The climbing ability of the RACER LS is dependent on the pools shape. It will climb better in
pools without sharp angles or curves in theflo transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.
Approximately every 3-1/2 minutes the cleaner will go into back up mode. At this time the Backup Valve will pull
the cleaner away from its last location, allowing the cleaner to bypass any obstruction and help randomize the
pool coverage.
Note: Before you install and operate your cleaner,
read through these important guidelines:
1. Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall
when cleaning or back washing the pool filter.
2. Dirt in the plumbing will clog the cleaner. After
cleaning or back washing the filter, let the filtration
system run for at least five minutes before
reconnecting the cleaner.
3. New plumbing lines should be flushed out before
installing the cleaner.
4. The cleaner should not be used to remove plaster
dust in new pools.
5. Always remove the cleaner before swimmers enter
the pool.
6. Always handle the cleaner with care.
7. Always pick up the cleaner by the handle,
especially when lifting the unit out of the water.

8. Do not handle the cleaner while it is operating.
9. Always remove the cleaner from the pool before
chemical shock treatments (super chlorinate). As a
rule, any pool water that is unsafe for swimming is
unsafe for the cleaner.
10. Carefully cut the feed hose following the
instructions on page 3.
11. By following these simple guidelines, you can help
protect against injury and prolong the life of your
cleaner.
12. Refer to "Important Warning And Safety
Instructions" on pages ii - iii for additional
