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.

Problem
Solution
Cleaner does not move or moves slowly.
Note: In water 60° F (16° C) or less, it may be necessary
to increase flow to compensate for the reduced flexibility
of the hose and diaphragm.
• Ensure FlowKeeper Valve is installed with arrow
pointing down towards skimmer pipe.
• Adjust FlowKeeper Valve to increase flow to cleaner.
• Clean baskets and filter.
• If pump has two speeds, make sure it is on high.
• Check diaphragm for damage or wear.
• If the pool has multiple skimmers, verify that the
skimmer not connected to the cleaner is closed.
• Check for air in system. If water level in pump basket
drops or you see excessive air bubbles in the pump
basket or coming from the return lines, there is air in the
system. Check hose connections, tighten all fittings at
pump and check gasket in pump basket for wear.
Cleaner patterns, does not cover entire pool. • Ensure return fittings are directed down. Add a
return diverter if necessary.
• Make sure hose is not kinked or coiled. Lay in sun to
straighten if necessary.
• Confirm proper hose length.
• Use flow from return jet to guide cleaner.
Cleaner gets stuck at steps.
• Confirm proper hose length. Shorten if necessary.
• Use flow from return jet to guide cleaner.
Cleaner moves extremely fast or climbs walls. • Lower the FlowKeeper Valve setting to reduce
flow to the cleaner.
• Open a second skimmer if there is more than one.
