the Baracuda G3 is not balanced correctly in the deep end of the pool, (as shown below) turn off the
pump, add a second hose weight (approximately 4 to 7 feet) away from the first weight. Place the
Baracuda G3 in the deep end, turn on the pump and determine whether the correct balance has been
achieved. If not, re-position the second hose weight accordingly. Additional hose weights may be
purchased from your Baracuda G3 dealer if required.
Normally it is undesirable for the return line water flow to affect the natural movement of the Baracuda
G3 hose. However, the following illustration shows how return line pressure can be used to balance
cleaning coverage or to guide the cleaner away from step areas with "V" shaped corners.
A return line located anywhere
along the shaded area can
be utilized to gently
push the hose allowing
the Baracuda G3 to
free itself from in-
pool obstacles.
