Step 1: Pre-installation of your Frill-NeckWIZARD® Pool Cleaner Before you begin to install the Frill-NeckWIZARD® it is important you have a basic understanding of how the pool water flows from the skimmer, through the pool pump and filter returning to the pool. Below is a diagram of a typical pool with standard equipment showing how the water usually flows. If you are still unsure, simply refer to your local pool professional for assistance. Step 2: Preparing your Pool for the Frill-NeckWIZARD® A.
Step 3: Assembling the Cleaning Head A. Fit the Cleaning Frill over the base and footpad of your Frill-NeckWIZARD®. Ensure that the word “TOP” is facing upwards. B. Make sure that the Frill rotates freely once fitted. Step 4: Setting Up the Hoses A. Firmly connect the hose sections together with enough lengths to reach from the skimmer box to the furthest point in the pool, plus additional 1-2 lengths. For a secure fit the female socket must cover the 4th ring (corrugation) of the male end.
C. Place the hose protector ring approximately 10cm from the female end of the last hose (closest to the skimmer box). The position can be adjusted later for best hose protection. Step 5: Setting Up the Weir (Skimmer Box Connection) A. Ensure that the pump is switched OFF. B. Place the Universal Weir Adaptor firmly into the weir / skimmer plate. C. Connect 2 x 45 elbows to the weir adaptor and insert the weir valve into it.
Step 7: Connecting the Frill-NeckWIZARD® A. Feed the cleaner hose vertically in to the pool so that it fills with water. B. Submerge the Frill-NeckWIZARD® cleaner head under water and rotate to allow any air to escape (bubbles will be released) C. Push the male cuff end of the hose firmly onto the outer extension pipe of the cleaner head of the Frill-NeckWIZARD®. D. Connect female cuff (fitted with hose protector) to the weir valve. E. Lower the cleaner head gently and gradually into the pool F.

Improving Suction Performance Your Frill-NeckWIZARD® has been supplied with an alternative footpad (Dark Silver / without channels) that is designed to give better suction on slippery pool surfaces such as fibreglass, gel coat, vinyl liners and tiles. Simply remove the standard footpad and fit the alternative footpad for better suction performance.
Protect the Frill-NeckWIZARD®: When not in use, store in a safe, shaded area with the hoses laid straight. Removing trapped debris from the Engine Unit: Removing trapped debris is simple. A. Recover the cleaner head and rotate it while still submerged in the water to show the underside and throat. B. Check for large, trapped debris in the throat of the cleaner. If there is trapped debris, remove it by using your finger to move the rubber ball back and forth until the obstruction is removed.
C. Remove the end cap. D. Use your finger to angle the engine unit slightly down and then remove it. C D RUBBER BALL REPLACEMENT A. Pull the clear Fastening / Wear Ring down, away from the ball. Be careful not to damage the ring. B. Peel the ball off the engine unit by lifting it from the seal lip. C. Replace the rubber ball if necessary and then slip the fastening ring back over the top. The four small pins should be facing towards the engine unit. A B ENGINE UNIT REPLACEMENT A.
