Your new LeafWIZARD has been designed to keep your ® swimming pool clean and free of dust, leaves and debris, whilst you simply relax and enjoy swimming in a clean pool! INDEX: Packing List ....................
3. Flipper Wheel: This wheel includes the “flipper arm” and reverses randomly to turn the LeafWIZARD around. ® 4. Flipper Arm: is designed to lift and reverse the LeafWIZARD away ® from obstacles on the pool floor. 5. Powered Rollers: The three powered rollers assist in overcoming obstacles which are commonly found in swimming pools such as main drains, transition ledges and convex curves on steps or swim-outs.
SPEED CONTROL VALVE Step 1: Pre-installation of your LeafWIZARD Pool Cleaner ® Before you begin to install the LeafWIZARD it is important you have a basic understanding of how the pool water flows from the skimmer, through the pool pump and filter returning to the pool. Below is a diagram of a typical pool with standard equipment showing how the water usually flows. If you are still unsure, simply refer to your local Davey Dealer for assistance.
1. Firmly connect the Main hose sections together with enough lengths to reach from the skimmer box to the furthest point in the pool, plus an additional 1-2 lengths. NOTES: a. If you require extra lengths, please contact your LeafWIZARD ® dealer. See Spare Parts section for part code.

Unit 3. Attach the last (male) end of the hose to the speed control valve by simply pushing the hose firmly over the hard spigot end of the valve. 4. Submerge the LeafWIZARD head unit under water (while the pump is ® OFF) and rotate it to release any air in the head.
TIP: The LeafWIZARD can continue to operate effectively at speeds as low as 6-7 metres per minute. DO NOT exceed 24 rpm of the left hand drive wheel.

2. If after adjusting the vacuum opening the LeafWIZARD is still travelling ® too slowly, the speed can be increased by changing the position of the red turbine throttle located under the grill to 4 or 5. The factory setting is 3.
® this will introduce air to the pump and cause it to lose Prime. 2. Put any oil, grease or other lubricants on the LeafWIZARD Body or ® moving parts. Water is the only lubricant required.
Maintenance & Service Tips Operating Time: It is good practice to operate your LeafWIZARD for the ® amount of time required to clean your pool only, to maximise the life of the product. Flipper Arm: The flipper arm boot should be replaced when worn to prevent damage to the pool surface and to ensure best turning performance.
