Operation and Maintenance

Cycling on and off with the pool filtration system, the Ranger moves randomly around the pool,
vacuuming and cleaning the pool floor as it goes. The cleaner is not designed to climb the pool walls.
As water flows through the cleaner, dirt and debris are pulled directly into the pool filtration system.
To maintain cleaner performance:
• Thoroughly clean the skimmer basket, pump basket and filter regularly. Always disconnect the
cleaner before backwashing. Run the filtration system for at least five minutes before re-connecting.
• Remove the cleaner from the pool before super chlorinating or adding pool chemicals. Wait at least
four hours before re-connecting the cleaner.
• Never coil the hose. Straighten a coiled hose with warm water or by laying it in the sun for a day.
A kinked or coiled hose will adversely effect the Ranger's coverage of the pool.
• When not in the pool, keep the slotted disc flat to avoid warping.
• Periodically inspect cleaner parts for wear.
Clearing the Diaphragm
A quick access system allows easy access
to inspect and clear the diaphragm.
To remove:
1. Unscrew the cassette and pull it out
of the cleaner.
2. Holding the cassette, unscrew the diaphragm
chamber from the cassette
pipe; pull out the inner pipe and diaphragm.
3. Pull off the diaphragm.
Inspect it for debris or wear, and rinse it
thoroughly with water. Replace if necessary.
To install:
1. Verify that the retaining ring is on
the diaphragm.
2. Push diaphragm onto inner pipe.
3. Pull inner pipe and diaphragm through chamber
until diaphragm seats against the lip.
4. Reassemble cassette and reinstall it in cleaner.

Storage and Winterizing

Never coil the hose. Always store the cleaner out of direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain all
water from the cleaner. Remove all connectors and adapters from the skimmer. Store disc flat, and hose
sections disconnected, drained and straight.
