Tire Replacement

After prolonged use it may become necessary to replace the 'Lil Rebel™ Aboveground Suction-Side Pool Cleaner's
rubber tires. When the tire surface has worn into the tire's grooves the tire is in need of replacement. See Figure 15.
To remove the cleaner tire:
1. Turn the pool pump off and remove the cleaner from the pool.
2. Disconnect the cleaner from the leader hose.
3. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface and fold the tire off of the wheel from top to bottom.
Note: Remove the tire by hand. Using other objects (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.) to remove the tire may
damage the wheel.

To install the replacement tire:
1. Place the cleaner on a flat work surface and seat the top of the rubber tire onto the top of the wheel. Be sure
that the back lip of the tire is resting flat on the inside edge of the wheel.
Note: Replace the tire by hand. Using other objects (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.) to replace the tire may damage
the wheel.
2. Stretch the bottom of the tire over the bottom of the wheel. Be sure that the back lip of the tire is resting flat on
the inside edge of the wheel.
3. Fold the back lip of the tire onto the back of the cleaner wheel along the entire cleaner wheel. The tire should lie
flat on the top surface of the wheel.
