CARE AND MAINTENANCE
EASY ACCESS SYSTEM
Large foreign objects, such as children’s toys, tree branches and rocks, should be removed
manually from your pool prior to operating an automatic pool cleaner. In the event a
blockage occurs, please follow these instructions:
To remove the diaphragm, loosen the outer extension pipe 2 turns (
fig. 1). From the
bottom of the cleaner, grip the tab of the diaphragm and pull it out (
fig. 2). It will come out
with the inner extension pipe attached and will make a loud noise (
fig. 3). Pull the
diaphragm off of the inner extension pipe and inspect it for damage (cuts or tears) or
debris causing a blockage (
fig. 4). Pull or rinse out the debris. Do not use tools that might
damage the diaphragm. See your Baracuda dealer for a replacement if necessary.
To reassemble, push the inner extension pipe into the diaphragm so that it seats up to
the small lip on the inner extension pipe (
fig. 5). Slide the inner extension pipe into
the inner body (
fig. 6), then pressing from the ridges, seat the diaphragm into place
(
fig. 7). The diaphragm should fit flush against the inlet plate (fig. 8). Tighten the
outer extension pipe until snug.
Do not over tighten.
