Step 9 Observe your Cleaner in operation, and make sure that the return line flow is not affecting the Cleaner’s programmed steering and preventing the Cleaner from covering the entire pool.

Page 8: Important Tips
Cleaner’s cleaning is confined to the bottom (both shallow and deep) and the hopper sides. Hayward Turbine Cleaners do not climb the vertical walls of in-ground or on-ground vinyl liner pools. However, normal dirt and debris do not adhere to these walls. - Page 9 Turbine Suction Cleaners IMPORTANT TIPS Some skimmers have a vari-flow or diverter valve in the bottom of the skimmer. This valve can be turned to regulate skimming and main drain suction. Turn the valve to full skim and then adjust the Flow Gauge by turning the valve toward main drain suction. Usually this valve is the same size as the Cleaner’s hose end, and it will therefore be necessary to purchase a V098 Hose Adapter (see Figure 7).
