The Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ is the leading choice for pools in yards with lush landscaping, large leaves, and debris. The Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ moves randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming and sweeping the bottom.

3 Pool Connections • The Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ comes equipped to connect to a female threaded 1-1/2 in. line, dedicated to our Universal Booster Pump. • If the pool doesn’t have a dedicated cleaner line please contact our Technical Support Department at 1-800-831-7133. Booster Pump Installation If you already have a 3/4 horsepower booster pump installed at your equipment pad and it is operational, skip this section and proceed to “Installing the Twist Lock Pressure Relief Valve (Wall Fitting)”.
4 Cutting the Feed Hose The Hose assembly comes in 5 sections now covering approximately 30 ft. of the pool. The Back-Up Valve is now 30 in. from the head cleaner and should always remain this distance. For larger pools, see #14 on page 7 for instructions on adding additional feeder hose. 1. Before installing the unit, lay the feed hose out straight in the sun, (for one day if possible). The hose is curled in the box upon delivery and sometimes does not lay straight.
5 Example of Hose Assembly Before Cutting to Hose Length 1. With the feed hose assembly attached to the pool wall, hold the feed hose assembly by the opposite end with the clear hose and walk the perimeter of the pool to locate the farthest point on the perimeter from the wall fitting without stretching the hose assembly. 2. Measure the distance that the hose assembly extends beyond the pool perimeter farthest point located in Step 1 — (7½ ft. in this example). 3.
6 Cutting the Feed Hose, (Continued) 4. Attach feed hose to the wall fitting and attach to the pool wall. Hold the end of the 30 in. clear (soft) hose and walk the perimeter of the pool keeping the hose straight (do not stretch hose) to find the farthest point of the pool from the wall fitting. 5. Measure the excess length between the farthest point of the pool from Wall Fitting and the end of 30 in. clear (soft) hose. 6. Half of this measured length to be cut equally from the 10 ft.
7 Cutting the Feed Hose, (Continued) 9. Put extra mender nut on the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ mast and push soft hose gently over mast at 1/2 in., turn mender nut around soft hose tight. FEED HOSE MENDER NUT FEED MAST Note: The Back-Up Valve still should be 30 in. from the head of the cleaner. 10. Now take the bag, 360002/360009, out of the box and firmly twist lock the bag onto the top of the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ throat over rubber debris valve. 11.
8 Checking Operation When operating correctly, the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ will travel in a random pattern throughout the pool, vacuuming and sweeping the bottom. The climbing ability of the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ is dependent on the pools structure and water flow coming into the pool. • It will perform more efficiently in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the floor of the pool to the wall.
9 Adjusting the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ Thrust Jet Adjustment For maximum pool cleaner performance, you may need to manually adjust the Thrust Jets due to varying pool shapes. The Thrust Jets are located in the back of the unit and determine the direction of the cleaner. Adjust the Thrust Jets to direct the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ in a straight line. The factory position is set so both jets are turned slightly right. Small adjustments can have a significant effect on the cleaner movement.
10 Checking Wheel RPM To determine if the cleaner is receiving the proper water pressure: 1. Turn off the booster pump, pool pump and carefully remove the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ from the pool. 2. Mark the front drive Tire/Wheel with a marker, or use the Logo located on the side of tire as a marker to count the rotations of the wheel per minute. 3. Have someone turn on pool pump and then booster pump while you place the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ in the pool just beneath the water surface.
11 Section 3 Operation and Maintenance Connecting/Disconnecting the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ To connect, turn off booster pump and pool pump. Twist lock the Wall Fitting clockwise into the Wall Adapter. To disconnect, unlock and twist Wall Fitting counter clockwise. The Wall Adapter should remain in the pool wall.
12 Periodic Maintenance The following parts are wear items that should be checked, maintained or replaced as needed. Wear items are considered any working or moving part(s) being worn due to the use of the cleaner. Wear items are not covered under warranty. Wall Fitting Screen Inside the wall fitting is a filter screen that acts as a secondary filter. This screen keeps debris that has passed through the pool filter, and out of the cleaner.
13 Sweep Hose The Sweep Hose is provided to help keep the bottom and sides of your pool clean. The Sweep Hose is warranted free of defects when shipped from the factory, and is considered a wear item. Debris Valve This valve is located under the Debris Bag, it is designed to keep the debris inside the bag. It functions like a check valve to allow the debris to only enter through the bag one way. Replacement is needed when valve begins to stiffen.
14 Section 4 Troubleshooting Use the following troubleshooting information to solve possible problems with your Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™. Problem Corrective Action Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ doesn’t move or moves sluggishly or hangs up on steps. Be sure filter pump and booster pump are on and working properly. (You may need to clean your pool filter system). Check the Wall Fitting screen for debris and rinse clean. Check wheel RPM (See page 10). Determine if the Back-Up Valve is cycling.
