A B O U T T H E CLEANER A N D ACCESSORIES:
Swivel assembly (Figure
9)
Reducer cone (Figure I I )
Installing the swivel assembly is a snap.
Just insert it into the cleaner body and
give it a quarter turn.
If you attach a unidapt handle to the
swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure it

Part No. GW9019). Use of a different
unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner's performance.
Hoses (20''
8'
and
4'
lengths
-
Figure 10)
The unit includes a 20' hose, an 8'
hose, and a 4' hose. Do not cut any of
these hoses.
The best hose length is at least 4'
longer than the distance from your
suction source (whether skimmer or
dedicated suction line) to the furthest
point in the pool. If the hose seems to
be too long, remove the 8' section pro-
vided. Do not cut the 20' hose.
Be sure to connect the tapered end of
the 20' hose (marked "connect to
cleaner") to the cleaner head.

If additional hose is needed, use only
the specially designed 8' extension hose from your Sta-
Rite dealer (order replacement part No. GW9511). Use
of another manufacturer's hose will hinder cleaner cov-
erage (this also holds true for the 20' hose). If you need
to replace the 20' hose, buy only the original equipment
hose (order replacement part No. GW9521).
Hose
(
6 connector ) female x female (purchase acces-
sory No. GW9021) If required, this will accommodate a
male x male connection at the skimmer.
The reducer cone is required to make
most hose connections. When used, it
will keep the hose in place if the filter
system is stopped.

Automatic vacuum regulator (Figure I 2A)
Hazardous suction. Can cause entrap-
ment with severe personal injury or drowning.
Vacuum regulator should be installed in
all situations. If the cleaner moves very
slowly or not at all (indicating low vacu-
um in the system), see Troubleshooting
Chart, Page
7.
The regulator includes two black rubber

regulator caps. One is installed on the
regulator at the factory, and one is in the
accessory bag. The cap marked "50" in the accessory
bag is for systems with extremely high vacuum. Use of
this cap will help prevent the cleaner from "walking"
out of the pool.
Make sure the vacuum regulator, especially the black
rubber cap, is submerged at all times. If not, the pump
will suck air through the regulator and lose prime. This
coz~ld damage the pump.
Vac port fitting (Figure I2B)
IBWARN' N G
Suction entrapment, injury, and drown-
ing hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction
port ("vac port") for vacuuming or for an automatic
pool cleaner, it must be covered when not in use.
A spring loaded safety cover (the
"Vac Port Fitting") is included
with this pool cleaner. Install it
on the suction port to prevent
entrapment and injury. For
details please refer to the Vac

A B O U T B U M P E R INSERTS
Bumper Inserts (see Key 2A, Page 10) help to make the

cleaner more buoyant to allow better access to the
bumper insert block and watch and see if the cleaner
