FOREWORD This manual is a guide to introduce you to the Kreepy Krauly pool
cleaning system. It cannot cover the requirements of every installation, so please
contact your local Clark Rubber store for further advice should you need it.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your Kreepy Krauly automatic pool cleaning
system. It is designed to prevent your pool from ever getting dirty and will provide
you with many extra hours of leisure in and around your swimming pool.
The Kreepy Krauly System requires no power source, operates hydraulically and
has a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase, excluding fair wear and tear.
The only working part in the Kreepy Krauly System is the Flow Valve which is
guaranteed for 10 years. The system has 3 major components, the Cleaner
Unit, Special Hose and the Vacuum Plate with anti-surge and AutoSkim valves.

HOW IT WORKS
Water flow from the main body assembly is alternately diverted into either the
top or bottom drive tubes of Kreepy Krauly. The inertia of water trapped in each
of the drive tubes provides a lifting and propelling action.
In operation, Kreepy Krauly travels around the pool, trailing the vacuum hose and
the hose weights neutralize floatation of the vacuum hose near to Kreepy Krauly.
The combined vacuum plate control and AutoSkim valve supplied with Kreepy
Krauly regulates the amount of vacuum supplied by the filtration system, also
allowing pool surface skimming (providing the pool filtration system has an
adequate flow).
PREPARING YOUR POOL
For effective operation of Kreepy Krauly, all water flow through the main drain
must be effectively blocked off. Kreepy Krauly will vacuum clean any well
equipped pool, but it will not overcome problems associated with inadequate or
improperly maintained filtration systems.
The vacuum cleaning performance depends upon having an adequate filter
system properly cleaned and maintained. This means that your pump and filter
system should be operating efficiently. There must be good water flow into the
suction side of the pump (skimmer) and good discharge from the pool inlet.
All plumbing lines should be clear, strainer basket should be emptied and sand
filters should be backwashed. Diatomaceous earth filters should be cleaned and
recharged in accordance with their manufacturer's instructions. Cartridge filters
should be thoroughly and carefully cleaned.

INSTALLING YOUR VTX3
STEP 1
Kreepy Krauly Sectional Hose
For best results and to retain your warranty and only use genuine hoses. The hose
sections need to be connected together.
Start with the male to male hose then add the male to female hoses to make the
required length. Make sure the connections are snug. The number of lengths that
you will need to join depends on the size and shape of your pool.
The overall length of hose needed will be determined by the distance from:
(a) the point at which you will attach the hose to the vacuum connection, to
(b) the furthest point from (a) ,plus one or two hose lengths.
Connecting the hose to your VTX3
Use the male to male hose section to attach the hose to the machine.
