Maintenance
Removing the Viper Cleaner From The Pool
Warning - Risk of Injury
The Filtration Pump and Booster Pump must be OFF when
connecting or disconnecting cleaner or hose.
1. Turn the Booster Pump and Filtration Pump OFF.
If you will not be replacing the cleaner before the next
Booster Pump timer cycle, turn the Booster Pump Timer
OFF. Never run the Booster Pump without the cleaner
connected. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Risk of Equipment Damage. Never run the
Booster Pump without the Cleaner connected. Doing so
will damage the pump’s motor and void the Booster
Pump’s warranty.

Connect into the Universal Wall Fitting and turn it to the
right (clockwise).

Wall Fitting.

Hose straight, not coiled. The cleaner may not operate
properly with bent hoses.
Emptying the Debris Bag
Empty the Debris Bag regularly. Do not continue to operate the
Viper when the bag is full.
