SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION

STEP 1: Preparing your pool and filtration system

IMPORTANT

The filtration system must be operating at its MAXIMUMWATER FLOW

before you install your BARACUDA®GENIUS®3000,otherwise you will have

to re-adjust your BARACUDA®GENIUS®3000 after cleaning the pool filter.

Installation is easy if you follow these simple preliminary steps:

1. Empty the weir basket.

2. Clean the pump basket.

3. Backwash the filter until the sight glass is clear.

4. Adjust all return jets (whether your pool has one, two or more) to point

downwards and towards each other so that you DO NOT see a circular

water flow or waves on the surface of your pool.

STEP 2: Assembling the disc to your Genius®3000

ABC

Diagram 1

1. Viewed from underneath the unit,the fins

on the Disc should point downwards and

the words Baracuda and the Zodiac logo

should not be visible.

2. Beginning at one corner of the flat front

section of the FlexiFoot,stretch the Disc

around to the other corner,until the disc

is held in place by the FlexiFoot.

Pull Disc under edge of FlexiFoot.

NOTE: To obtain maximum

diaphragm efficiency,please ensure a

genuine BARACUDA® AutoWeir

Valve is used.

STEP 3: Assembling the Hoses

1. Always insert the male hose cuff into the female cuff.Hoses must connect

fairly tightly. The ideal length of hose is from the weir to the furthest point of

the pool plus one extra section of hose. If the weir is opposite the steps,use

lowest step as furthest point (See Diagrams 4 and 5). To ensure the best

performance from your BARACUDA®GENIUS®3000, please ensure only

genuine BARACUDA®long life hoses are used.

Diagram 4: Ideal Hose length

Weir

2. Attach your BARACUDA®GENIUS®3000 to the male end (smaller side) of

the assembled hose.

3. Fit the Hose Protection Mesh over the cuff of the hose to help prevent the

hose from wearing at the weir. Position the protection mesh so that ±10cm is

exposed outside the weir.

4. Bleed all the air from the hose by placing one end over the return jet – thus

filling the hose length with water.

5. Keeping the hose-ends underwater,move it from the return line to the weir

and connect the female cuff to theAutoWeirValve. Ensure that the AutoWeir

Valve is firmly attached to the hose (See Diagram 6).

You no longer

need to remove

the Baracuda®

Auto weir valve

from the weir.

Simply depress the red pivoted

arm (A),until it locks

open the flow door.

To recommence pool cleaner

operation,release the pivoted

arm (A) by pressing down

on the flow door (B).

It’s that simple!

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The Baracuda®Genius®3000 pool

cleaner is performing too fast and/or

climbing above the level of the water.

ReduceAutoWeirValve to medium or

low setting

The Baracuda®Genius®3000 pool

cleaner is performing slowly and/or is

not climbing the pool walls.

IncreaseAutoWeirValve to medium

or high setting

The Baracuda®AutoWeirValve is preset at the factory to obtain

maximum pool cleaning efficiency.Your Baracuda®Genius is preset on

setting 3. However, if you do experience difficulties,it can be manually adjusted

to one of the three settings (high,medium or low).You will only need to adjust

theAutoWeirValve if the following occurs:

SECTION 2 – CORRECT SETTINGS

ADJUSTMENT SUGGESTIONS

CORRECT BALANCING

Proper balancing must be accomplished in the DEEPEST area of the pool. The

buoyancy of the hose tends to LIFT the BARACUDA® GENIUS®3000 especially

in deeper water. The hose weight is utilized to help neutralise the buoyant effect

of the hose. Although usually not required,if a hose weight is needed,please

contact BARACUDA®on 0800 110 885 whereby we will supply a hose weight at

no charge.

POOL COVERAGE

Normally it is undesirable for the return line water flow to affect the natural

movement of your BARACUDA®hose. However,the return line pressure can

be used to balance cleaning coverage or to guide the cleaner away from steps

and corners.

A return line located anywhere along the shaded area can be utilised to gently

push the hose,allowing your BARACUDA®GENIUS®3000 to free itself from

in-pool obstacles (Diagram 8).

Diagram 7: Positioning of the hose weight (if required)

NOTE: Do not use hose

weight if your swimming pool

is less than 2,1 metres deep.

SECTION 3 – QUICK RELEASE

CASSETTE SYSTEM

The BARACUDA®GENIUS®3000 has a long life diaphragm and a Quick Release

Cassette

System.This unique feature allows almost instantaneous access to the

diaphragm.

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 of a blockage occuring, the Quick Release Cassette System allows

you the opportunity to remove the blockage or check the diaphragm for damage

in seconds at the poolside.

The Quick Release Cassette System also allows you to reset the diaphragm which

may also resolve performance problems such as:running and stopping,

coverage

problems and/or your Baracuda®Genius®3000 not climbing the pool walls.

STEP 1: Procedure to Remove Diaphragm

Hold the BARACUDA® GENIUS®3000 with one hand and unscrew the cassette

swivel nut ± 3TURNS anticlockwise (Figure 1).

Pull the cassette system from the BARACUDA® GENIUS®3000 body (Figure 2).

SECTION 3 – QUICK RELEASE

CASSETTE SYSTEM

STEP 2: Removal of Diaphragm

Grasp the extension pipe in one hand and unscrew the cassette ± 2TURNS anti-

clockwise (Figure 3).

Grasp the rim of the diaphragm and pull the diaphragm assembly out of the

cassette (Figure 4).

FIGURE 4

FIGURE 3

SECTION 3 – QUICK RELEASE

CASSETTE SYSTEM

Remove the diaphragm from the inner extension pipe (Figure 5), leaving the

retaining ring on the diaphragm.

STEP 3: Examination

Inspect the diaphragm for a blockage or any damage.Even small holes will

compromise its operation.If any damage is evident,i.e. a cut or hole on the sides

of the diaphragm,replace it.

If there is a blockage,carefully remove it.If this can’t be done, a garden hose may

be used to flush the obstacle through.Do not use any sharp objects to probe or

push an obstruction as this may damage the diaphragm.

STEP 4: Diaphragm Assembly

Prior to re-installing the diaphragm,rinse the diaphragm and the inner extension

pipe thoroughly to remove any grit. Attach the diaphragm to the inner extension

pipe (Figure 6).Slide the top of the inner extension pipe (the end which is

opposite the diaphragm) into the body.
