OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of your Hayward automatic suction pool cleaning system

from Hayward. Your Cleaner is the smart, efﬁcient way to clean your in-ground pool.

Hayward Turbine Cleaners are powered by your pool’s ﬁlter system and are designed to

work well with most systems. Therefore the performance of the Cleaner in your pool will

be relative to that power source. Because the operation and performance of the Cleaner

are system reliant, there is a remote possibility that a “service call” may be necessary to

complete the proper installation of your Cleaner. Because this is an installation related

call, it will be at the consumer’s expense. Also, one or more of the accessories designed

for the Cleaner, including additional hose sections (if needed), might be applicable to

your installation. Consult your Hayward dealer for the price and availability. For Technical

Assistance, call Hayward at 908-355-7995 (USA only).

Note

Turbine Suction Cleaner

Hayward Turbine Cleaners should not be used to clean the pool for spring start-up

unless the conditions noted in Step 1 are met. On those occasions, where your pool is

subjected to an abnormal debris load, maintenance steps should be taken to return the

pool to “pre-installations” condition.

INSTALLING YOUR HAYWARD CLEANER IS SIMPLE...

To prepare your pool for installation, please follow the easy steps listed below. After

reading these instructions, the “How To” installation DVD (included with Pool Vac XL &

Navigator Pro only) will walk you through the installation step-by-step, and it will also give

you some maintenance and trouble-shooting hints. These instructions apply to all Hayward

Turbine Cleaner models.

Step 1

Check the pool and remove any large objects that might interfere with the cleaner’s

operation. Check to see that the water level is at the recommended level. Check the water

chemistry. Make sure that the water is properly balanced and that the pool is free from

algae. Algae can adversely affect the operation of the Cleaner and its performance.

Step 2

Clean or backwash the ﬁlter, and clean the hair and lint prior to installing the Cleaner.

Following the installation of your Cleaner, clean the system at regular intervals according to

individual pool conditions.

Step 3

There are connector hoses (9 with PV XL & NAV PRO, 7 with PV Classic) and one leader

hose with a hose cuff are included. The hose cuff has a red sticker attached to it that reads

“REMOVE LABEL AND CONNECT TO CLEANER”.

Connect the exclusive Hayward hose sections together by pushing and twisting the tapered

male connector end of each hose ﬁrmly into the open female end of the adjacent hose (see

Figure 1). Depending on the size and shape of your pool, all hose sections might not be

used. However, the leader hose must be used or your Cleaner will not operate properly. It is

not necessary to “Bottom Out” the connections, but they must be tight enough to prevent

any air leaks. Wetting the hose ends will make it easier to connect the hose sections.

Step 4

The hose should reach from the skimmer or Hayward Vac Lock® to the furthest point in

the pool, plus two (2) extra hose sections. (The length of each hose section is four feet.)

This extra length is absolutely necessary for proper operation of your Hayward Cleaner. If

the hose is not long enough, it will be necessary to purchase additional hose sections from

your Hayward dealer. The hose length supplied has been determined to be sufﬁcient for

the class and size of pools for which each type of cleaner is sold – 40 feet for PV XL & NAV

Pro, 32 feet for PV Classic. If your hose requirement is more than this, you must obtain

additional hose sections for your cleaner to work properly. After the correct hose length has

been assembled, ﬁll hose completely with water. Insert Flow Gauge into the leader hose,

then attach the C-Clip of the gauge onto the ﬁrst hose section. Make sure the Flow Gauge

is under water. (see Figure 2)

Step 5

Turn the ﬁlter system on and allow it to run long

enough to eliminate any air in the system. Connect the

V093C Skimmer Cone adapter to the tapered male end of

the vacuum hose if you are connecting the hose to your

skimmer. Then, insert the cone into the suction port of

the skimmer (see Figure 3) or, if you are using a

Hayward Vac Lock, insert the hose end directly

into the Vac Lock without using the cone. (Refer

to Important Tips for more speciﬁc skimmer

information.)

Installation

INSTALLING YOUR HAYWARD CLEANER IS SIMPLE...

Step 6

Check the water ﬂow reading on the Flow Gauge. (Refer to Step 4, Figure 2). The black disk

should be in the box between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings. If the setting is higher than

required with the black disk outside of the box on the “MAX” side and you have connected

your hose to the skimmer, it will be necessary to reduce the vacuum/water ﬂow by using

a valve or valves in the ﬁlter system, or the Hayward V094 Regulator Valve or an optional

Hayward Automatic Skimmer Vacuum Plate designed to adjust vacuum/water ﬂow. To install

the V094 Regulator Valve, turn the ﬁlter system off, remove the hose from the V093C

Skimmer Cone, and after closing the Regulator Valve (Rotate the blue collar clockwise until

tight), insert the Valve into the Skimmer Cone, and insert the hose end into the Valve (see

Figure 4).

Turn the ﬁlter system on and allow it to run long enough to eliminate any air in the system.

Turn the blue collar counter clockwise until proper reading appears on the gauge. If a

Hayward Skimmer Vacuum Plate is to be used, follow the installation instructions included

with the Skimmer Vacuum Plate.

Installation

INSTALLING YOUR HAYWARD CLEANER IS SIMPLE...

Note

The V094 Regulator Valve and the Hayward Skimmer Vacuum Plate can only be used to

LOWER an initial vacuum reading that is TOO HIGH. The Regulator Valve and the Skimmer

Vacuum Plate cannot be used to INCREASE the initial vacuum reading. An initial reading

that is too low to meet the water ﬂow setting necessary to operate the cleaner is indicative

of a system problem, and not a problem with the cleaner.

Contact your Authorized Hayward Dealer for assistance.

If you have connected your hose to the Hayward Vac Lock, it will be necessary to adjust

the vacuum/water ﬂow using the 3-way valve at the ﬁlter system. The handle on the valve

should be turned so that the Flow Gauge which is installed in the Cleaner hose reads

properly (refer to Figure 2). After the 3-way valve has been properly adjusted, the 3-way

valve should be marked so that the water ﬂow can be adjusted by referring to the valve

handle mark, rather than reinstalling the Flow Gauge in the hose each time an adjustment

is necessary.

Step 7

Remove the Flow Gauge from the hose and keep it handy. You will want to use the Flow

Gauge to check the Cleaner’s operation from time to time if the Cleaner is connected to

your skimmer. If you are using a Hayward Vac Lock, the Flow Gauge will only be necessary

if you neglect to mark the valve gauge, or if replacement of the valve gauge is necessary.

Step 8

Check the rear ﬂap adjuster dial at the left rear of the Cleaner. It should be set at position

number II which is the middle position (see Figure 5). Submerge the Cleaner into the water

to remove all of the entrapped air. When escaping air bubbles cease, you are ready to

connect the hose.

Connect the hose cuff of the leader hose to the Cleaner and submerge the hose to remove

all air as when vacuuming the pool with a standard hand-vacuum (see Figure 6).

Do not use the return line/inlet water to “sink” the Cleaner hose, as this will force air into

the cleaner head, and possibly cause performance problems.

Installation

INSTALLING YOUR HAYWARD CLEANER IS SIMPLE...

Step 9

Observe your Cleaner in operation, and make sure that the return line ﬂow is not affecting

the Cleaner’s programmed steering and preventing the Cleaner from covering the entire

pool. If the cleaner hose is being pushed across the surface of the pool, it will be necessary

to redirect the return line water ﬂow downward. This is to allow the Cleaner to move its

programmed cleaning pattern.

Step 10

Observing the Cleaner in operation, it should move about the pool without spending an

excessive amount of time against the steps or other obstructions (vertical walls, ladders,

etc.) If the Cleaner seems to get “hung up,” turn the rear ﬂap adjuster to position I (see

Figure 5).

Step 11

Your Cleaner will climb the vertical walls in concrete and ﬁberglass swimming pools if there

is at least a seven inch (7") radius where the walls and ﬂoor meet. The Cleaner’s wall

climbing is governed by the programmed steering and therefore it will not climb the wall

each time it comes in contact with a wall. When the Cleaner does start up a wall, it will not

always go all the way up the wall. If the Cleaner does not seem to be “sticking” to the wall,

turn the rear ﬂap adjuster to position III (see Figure 5). If the Cleaner climbs to the water’s

surface and sucks air, turn the rear ﬂap adjuster to Position I (see Figure 5). If the cleaner

continues to climb too high, reduce the water ﬂow until proper operation is achieved.

Approximately ninety percent (90%) of the dirt in a concrete pool will be on the ﬂoor of

the pool. Approximately ten percent (10%) of the dirt will be on the walls. Your Cleaner will

spend its cleaning time accordingly.

Installation

INSTALLING YOUR HAYWARD CLEANER IS SIMPLE...

Pool Vac XL/Navigator Pro

In one piece ﬁberglass pools there is very little dirt on the walls, but your Cleaner will still

climb the walls. Due to the shape (severe angles) of most in-ground vinyl liner pools, your

Cleaner’s cleaning is conﬁned to the bottom (both shallow and deep) and the hopper sides.

Hayward Turbine Cleaners do not climb the vertical walls of in-ground or on-ground vinyl

liner pools. However, normal dirt and debris do not adhere to these walls.

1. Skimmers come in many conﬁgurations and cannot all be described here. Three basic

types are discussed however.

Some skimmers have two (2) holes in the bottom. There might be a valve, ﬂoat or cover

over the holes. Remove everything in the skimmer, exposing the holes. The rear hole is

usually the suction port. In some cases it will be necessary to use the V094 Regulator Valve

to control water ﬂow through the Cleaner (see Figure 4).

Some skimmers have only one hole in the bottom. This suction port is usually controlled by a

valve at the ﬁlter system and most likely will not need a V094 Regulator Valve (see Figure 3).

DO NOT COIL HOSE

When storing your cleaner the hose sections must be stored straight, not coiled. A coiled

hose will create a memory in the hose that will impede the Cleaner’s ability to move

properly in your pool. Coiled hoses are not covered under the Hayward warranty. When

removing the Cleaner from your pool, be sure to grasp the cleaner by its handle, not by its

hose, otherwise the Cleaner might be damaged should the hose disconnect from the cleaner.

IMPORTANT TIPS

Turbine Suction Cleaners

Some skimmers have a vari-ﬂow or diverter valve in the bottom of the skimmer. This valve

can be turned to regulate skimming and main drain suction. Turn the valve to full skim

and then adjust the Flow Gauge by turning the valve toward main drain suction. Usually

this valve is the same size as the Cleaner’s hose end, and it will therefore be necessary

to purchase a V098 Hose Adapter (see Figure 7). After the proper gauge reading has been

established, the diverter valve will have to be locked in the place with a wedge of some

kind so that it won’t change position with operation of the Cleaner.

2. Periodically check the water ﬂow/vacuum to be sure that your Cleaner is operating as

efﬁciently as possible. Remember, too much vacuum is just as bad as too little.

3. Periodically check to make sure that the Cleaner hose is securely attached to its suction

source (i.e. Skimmer, Skimmer Vac Plate Vac Lock, etc.)

4. Disconnect the Cleaner hose from the skimmer/regulator valve, or, if using a “dedicated

line”, turn cleaner valve off prior to “backwashing”, so as not to restrict water ﬂow.

5. Never coil the Cleaner hose. Coiled hose is not covered under the warranty.

6. When the Cleaner is out of the pool, always disconnect the leader hose from the

Cleaner’s head.

7. Always carry your Cleaner by the molded-in handle. Do not carry it by the hose.

8. When swimming in the pool, remove your Cleaner from the water.

9. If you are going to super chlorinate, shock, or add gas chlorine to your pool, make sure

the cleaner and its hose are removed prior to doing so.

IMPORTANT TIPS

Turbine Suction Cleaners

CLEANER

1. Check the condition of the “shoes, wings and ﬂaps” periodically. The shoes and wings

have wear indicators on their sides and should be checked occasionally to determine

if they need replacing. The shoe wear indicator is a line on the side of the shoe that

appears as a difference in texture. When this texture difference is no longer visible at the

bottom of the shoe when viewed from either side, the shoes must be changed (see

Figure 8). Also on the side, the wing wear indicator is a horizontal line which has three

(3) vertical lines above it. When you can no longer see the horizontal line, the wings

must be changed (see Figure 9). The Hayward Tune-Up Kit is available from your dealer.

Shoes, wings and ﬂaps may also be purchased separately.

2. SHOE REPLACEMENT:

a) Turn unit upside down.

b) Insert screwdriver between foot and shoe on one of the pads (see Figure 8).

c) Using a lifting motion, remove the shoe from the foot.

d) Dip a new shoe in water and attach the shoe to the foot, making sure to put the small

post into the small hole and the large post into the large hole. These posts and holes

are different sizes to prevent the shoes from being improperly installed.

e) Repeat Steps b,c, and d for each shoe.
