ATTENTION POOL BLANKET OWNERS
When a Pool Blanket is in use, carefully monitor your chlorine or salt
water chlorinator settings to avoid over chlorinating your pool which
may damage your Kreepy Krauly and void your Warranty.
The Pool Blanket prevents chlorine evaporating reducing the need
to add more chlorine. If you have a salt water chlorinator remember
to lower the amount of chlorine produced when the pool blanket is
in use. If you have any questions please call our Customer Service
department on 1800 777 255 or your local pool shop professional.
When servicing your Kreepy Krauly, look for
this seal to ensure that the part you are buying
is a certified genuine Kreepy Krauly part.

The effect of both float bars is to hold the
floats a set distance away from the top drive
tube. The Float bar will not be required on
many free form concrete pools. When you
require Kreepy Krauly to turn early down
the wall or away from the wall to avoid
obstacles, the simple rule is that the greater
the restricted distance between the floats and
the top drive tube the earlier Kreepy Krauly
will turn.
PILOT CONTROL
In box section pools
and above ground pools this attachment
can be used to great advantage, usually in
conjunction with the extended float bar. For
excellent random fl oor sweeping with rapid
turning action away from the pool wall, the
pilot control should be fi tted as shown and
the extended float bar fitted in the lower
bridge between fl oats. Please consult your
Kreepy Krauly Distributor/Installer before
using this combination.
Fit new sole
Replace with new sole.
Fit combined vacuum control
and auto skim to skimmer as per
