Installing the A-Frames on a Hayward Aquabug

Video Transcript

"Aw, its really coming together now. Now here comes my favorite parts the, A frames. A for frame. Come down here let me show you this. Here is your bottom or your frame actually you want to make sure that this it in good shape. The biggest thing that can happen with frames is that this part breaks if it breaks then well then you don't have the tension the flap wont hold in place and the whole thing just wont operate properly. So you want to make sure that your frame is in good shape. If not go for a new frame. Alright. Now the A frames they go in pretty. Pretty easy. Just like most of it. Its not racket science but it is a lot of fun and it is mostly about sequence. So were going to put this over here. This is the bottom bushing. Turquoise don't know why. Looks pretty. Lets put it in lets put it in. It just sits right in there. Did you see that? Good. Good. Now alright puts in right in there gravity holds it in place for now. And now were going to put in the A frames. Alright these guys here again these are loose bearings unlike our turbine bearings in other models that Hayward makes as pool cleaners it does not have bearing separators. They should be loose bearings like this and all thats going to happen is that this part is going to go inward in order to seat into the bushing and then this part is going to go outward. And then it goes just like this. Boop. And sits. Did you see that? Its beautiful. Lets do it again. In and seats just like that. Now it looks sloppy but thats ok. These here are the bushings for the outside. Now its very difficult to tell but they are a little flat on one side you will see that they are flat on one side inside of here. So I just push it and spin it until it gives. There you go and make it nice and even. There is a bump to hold down the outside but it should be flush. Same thing with the other side here. I am going to spin push and flush. And now to make the place and tighten everything up just a little bit. Here is the top of the bushing assembly and of course our set screw with lock washer. Put them in there so its all set. Now your also going to see a copper recessed in there. Just set the screw home and I am just going to place it there. I can feel its just started a little bit. Actually I am not even going to use the other one. I am going to go old school here with the hand held tool because its only a few turns. Not to waist your time here. Boom! Now, the A frames there ready to do their job."
