Caution
1. Handrails which extend into the water must be removed or substituted with a figure four
design so as not to obstruct the movement of the cleaner.
2. Ladders present a special situation requiring our special Ladder Guard Kit. f the ladder
guard is not installed on the cleaner head, the unit can become entangled in the ladder.
3. deal pools are those with curved corners with a radius of at least 6" including all steps
and love seat areas. Pools with square corners or corners with less than 90° angles
(especially in step or love seat areas) can cause problems.
4. Never install the pool cleaner in pools which have obstacles such as islands, stools, or
non-removable fountains, as the cleaner can become entangled.

General Information
2A. Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation and operation of Jandy Ray-Vac Automatic
Pool Cleaners. Procedures in this manual must be
followed exactly. To obtain additional copies of this
manual contact us at 0 - 6-8200, ext. 23 . For
address information see back cover.
The Ray-Vac Pool Cleaner requires either (1) an
operable booster pump installed in the pool circulation
system: or (2) the pool circulation system plumbed per
Jandy installation instructions for non-booster pump
applications. If you are uncertain if the pool meets one
of the above requirements, consult your local pool
professional.
SECTION 3.
Wall ounting Location
3A. ool Cleaner Line
1. The pool cleaner line should be located on the
"clean wall" (no obstacles such as steps, love
seats, ladders, etc.).
2. The location should also be equidistant from the
furthest points of the pool (see Fig. 1).
3. Position the pool cleaner so that it will be 6" to 8"
below the normal water level of the pool.

4B. Connecting Ray-Vac Hose to ool Wall
1. Locate the pool cleaner wall fitting in the pool.
Determine the size of the wall fitting. The most
common size is 1½", but some wall fittings are
¾". If you do not have the ¾" or 1½" wall fitting,
consult your pool professional.
2. Thread the correct wall reducer into the pool
wall fitting. Hand tighten only.
3. To connect the Ray-Vac hose to the pool wall,
insert the quick disconnect fitting (end of Ray-
Vac hose) into the wall reducer. Line up tabs on
fitting with slots in wall reducer. Push in firmly
until the fitting is flush in wall reducer, then turn
clockwise until locked.

reach out of the pool, the hoses are too short. If
the Ray-Vac extends beyond 5' out of the pool, the
hoses are too long (see Figs. 6-8).
Note: Before operating the cleaner for the first time or
if the cleaner has been coiled for an extended
period, it is advisable to stretch the entire
cleaner out in the sun for a day to soften the
hoses and prevent tangling.
2. If your Ray-Vac hoses are the correct length,
proceed to Section 5, "Speed Adjustment Booster
Pump Installation" or Section 6, "Speed
Adjustment Non-Booster Pump Installation."
3. If your Ray-Vac hoses are NOT the correct
length, use one of the following steps to correct
the hose length:
a. If the hose length is too long, remove 3' hose
sections as required to shorten the hose.
Follow hose section numbering for order of
removal when you must remove more than
one section.
b. If the pool size is 20' x 40' or greater and the
cleaner hose requires seven 5/8" hose
sections or more to size the cleaner correctly
to the pool, you must set the floatation as
follows: Starting at the finger screen case
there must be two (2) floats on all sections,
except the section nearest the hydro-timer.
The hose section nearest the hydro-timer
should have one (1) float in the center of the
hose. If your Ray-Vac requires eight (8)
sections or more, a booster pump may be
needed. Consult your pool professional.
c. If the pool size is 15' x 30' or less, all sections
between the hydro-timer and the wall mount
should now have two (2) floats.
