Replacing The Diaphragm - Red Leopard Orbit Operating Manual

REPLACING THE DIAPHRAGM

The diaphragm of your Orbit pool cleaner operates at the rate of approximately 360
beats per minute. If your Orbit operates daily for 8 hours, the diaphragm will open and
close over 60 million times in a year! The design has been perfected over many years
and, properly cared for, the diaphragm will last for several seasons. In the event that it
does become worn or damaged and needs to be replaced, simply follow these easy
steps:
1. Unscrew the HANDNUT and remove it, together with the OUTER EXTENSION PIPE
and the THRUST WASHER. Place these items to one side.
2. Hold the INNER EXTENSION PIPE (IEP) and gently pull it towards you. This pulls
the tabs out of their recess.
3. Turn the INNER EXTENSION PIPE so the tabs line up with the holes in the IEP
LOCATOR. Do not remove the INNER EXTENSION PIPE from the BODY
