In one piece fiberglass pools there is very little dirt on the walls, but the Navigator will still climb the walls.
Due to the shape (severe angles) of most in-ground vinyl liner pools, the Navigator's cleaning is confined
to the bottom lboth shallow and deepl and the hopper sides. Navigator does 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.
00 NOT COIL HOSE
When storing your cleaner the hose sections must be stored straight, not coiled. A coiled hose will create a
memory in the hose that will impede the Navigator's ability to move properly in your pool. Coiled hoses
are not covered under the Hayward warranty. When removing the Navigator from your pool, be sure to
grasp the cleaner by its handle, not by its hose, otherwise your Navigator might be damaged should the
hose diSC1)nnect from the cleaner.
1. Skimmers come in many configurations and cannot all be described here. Three basic types are
discussed however.
Some skimmers have two (2) holes in the bottom. There might be a valve, float or cover over the holes.
Remove everything in the skimmer, exposing the holes.The rear hole is usually the suction port In some
cases it will be necessary to use the V094 Regulator Valve to control water flow through the Navigator
(see Figure 4).
Some skimmers have only one hole in the bonom. This suction port is usually controlled by a valve at the
filter system and most likely will not need aV094 Regulator Valve (see Figure 3).
