Maintenance; Wear And Tear - GRE ACD10 Instruction Manual

1. ASSEMBLING THE ACROBAT POOL CLEANER
• Place the inner lip of the Disc onto the Foot pad flange and peel over until Disc is secure between the flange and lip of
the Foot pad.
• The fins of the Disc and the word "TOP" should face the float arm.
• Unscrew the Handnut and slide the Bumper ring over the back of the Acrobat´s body.
• Screw the Handnut back into place and this will secure the Bumper ring in place.
• Attach the Hoses.
2. INSTALLING THE ACROBAT POOL CLEANER
• Connect Acrobat machine to your hoses.
• Gently place machine in the water, this will let the unit gradually release air and sink.
• To enable all the air to be driven from the unit, place the last pipe on your inlet while your pool pump is running. This will
fill the unit with water and allow it to sink.
• Attach the Adjustable control valve to the skimmer, with arrow in direction of water flow.
• Attach the free end of the pool hose to the free end of the adjustable valve.
• Adjust the control valve between settings 1 and 4.
• Switch on the pump and the Acrobat will start to operate.
* WARNING!! DO NOT DETACH POOL CLEANER WHILE PUMP IS RUNNING
* TIP!!! Backwash and rinse filter and clear skimmer and pump basket before operating your new Acrobat
pool cleaner.
* TIP!!! Backwashing and cleaning the skimmer and pump basket should be done weekly

3. MAINTENANCE

• To ensure optimum performance of your pool cleaner, keep your skimmer and pump baskets clean.
• Please backwash and rinse your sand filter or cartridge filter regularly. When a filter is dirty or the sand is old (2 years)
the water flow through the filter is poor, thus affecting the pool cleaner.
• Pool filter sand should also be changed every 2 years.
• Your pool cleaner will fade in colour over time, this is increased by excessive chemical usage and incorrect Alkalinity
and PH levels. When you shock your pool please remove your Pool cleaner for at least 4 hours.
• When the Diaphragm gets stretched it can be readjusted by unscrewing the outer pipe, removing the inner pipe and
pulling the Diaphragm forward in to the Diaphragm plate.

4. WEAR AND TEAR

• Ensure that the Acrobat´s Disc, Foot pad, Bumper ring and Diaphragm are in good condition. If these items get smooth,
shiny or tear the pool cleaner will not work properly.
• The Bumper ring and possibly the Weight chamber will wear as these parts are in contact with the pool walls, step and
corners.
• The Diaphragm should be inspected regularly, and when stretched can be readjusted.
• The hoses will also rub against the wall.
• Your hoses should be straight and flexible, if they become rigid and bent, place them in a straight position in the sun
for a few hours.
TIP - When replacing the diaphragm or any other part of your Acrobat is is advised that you let your local pool
dealer replace it for you. This is due to the complexity of the replacement.
