Adjusting Sweep Hose Power
• In most pools it will not be necessary to adjust the
Sweep Hose power.
• Observe the Viper cleaner operating in the pool. The
Sweep Hose should move in a slow, undulating
(snake-like) motion.
• Sweep Hose Not Moving: if the sweep hose does not
move side-to-side and just drags behind the cleaner, check
the Sweep Hose for holes. Check for debris behind the
adjustment screw or in the jet-end of the Sweep Hose.
• Sweep Hose Moves Slowly Or Not At All: use the
3/16 inch Hex Wrench to turn the adjustment screw
counter-clockwise to increase Sweep Hose power.
• Sweep Hose Frequently Sprays Out Of The Pool: use
the 3/16 inch Hex Wrench to turn the Sweep Hose
adjustment screw clockwise to reduce Sweep
Hose power.
