Removing the A-Frames of a Hayward Aquabug

Another part that you may want to take out for inspection are the A frames. Now the A frames are these guys right here. And what they do is they spin against the turbine. Which is powered by the water. Which is powered by the pump. That moves back and forth and causes well the pods to go up and down. And when the pods go up and down the feet go with the shoes go up and down. And that?s exactly how they walk across your pool. So we want to make sure that their in good repair. Because obviously without that the pool cleaners not going to go. So to take them out all were going to need is our trusty screw gun again. This one set screw here once we pop it out your going to notice that it comes out with it's lock washer and the top of the bearing shield. So just set those aside. Then you try to get these out here and they are really resistant there not wanting to come out. That's because we went to take out one of our Teflon washers here. Ah yes. A little flathead screwdriver and just cajole it out and put it aside. And the same on both sides. Now you will notice that boop she slips right out. And so does, in this case the bottom of the shield. So when you get them out you will to inspect them. What your looking for here is to make sure that they spin freely. Now these particular ones are not supposed to have bearings shields on them. So the loose bearings are actually ok. You want to make sure that's there no dust or dirt in there. No grinding sounds and that they are free spinning. These are in good shape. And also the little pieces if metal are not to marred and that it's, that it's free moving. Now obviously these are new so there, there in pretty good shape. But that's how we take those apart there. And now you can inspect them and move on to the next piece.
