Installation Instructions (cont.)
Step 5 – Measure Hose Lengths
A simple rule of thumb to measure hose requirements is to measure the distance from the skimmer (or dedicated
suction line) to the farthest point in the pool then add three (3) extra hose sections. This extra length is absolutely
necessary for proper operation of your cleaner. If the total hose length is not long enough, it will be necessary to
purchase additional hose sections from your Hayward dealer. The hose length supplied (9,75 meters) has been
determined to be sufficient for the majority of pools, nationally. If your hose requirement is more than this, you must
purchase additional hose sections for your cleaner to work properly.
Step 6
Check the bumper ring located on the bottom of your cleaner to make sure it turns
freely. It may be necessary to reposition the ring on the small wheels. Next, read
the instructions on the warning label applied to the top of the cleaner. Submerge
your cleaner into the water and remove all of the entrapped air. When escaping air
bubbles cease, you are ready to connect the leader hose. The leader hose has a gray
cuff that reads “REMOVE LABEL AND CONNECT TO CLEANER”. Connect the
gray cuff of the leader hose to your cleaner (See Figure 5) and submerge the entire
lengths of hose to remove all of the air as when vacuuming the pool with a standard
hand vacuum. Figure 5
Step 7
With the filter system turned OFF, connect the hose to the skimmer according to Figures 6, or 7.
NOTE: The optional methods for installing the hose over the pool rail or through the top opening in the
skimmer.
Figure 6 shows the proper way to connect the hose to a skimmer with a bottom suction port using the AEXV093BP
Skimmer Cone Adapter (included).
Figure 7 shows the proper way to connect the hose into a skimmer that has a back or side suction port. In this case,
the standard AEXV093BP cannot be used because of the skimmer configuration, and the optional AEXV151 90-
degree Elbow must be purchased from your Hayward dealer.
