AXV604WHP Pool Cleaner Wing Kit

Key Features

• Enhanced Suction Velocity: Engineered with a specialized "skirt" profile that maintains a tight seal against the pool floor, funneling water and debris directly into the throat of the cleaner for maximum pickup efficiency.
• Heavy-Duty Flexible Polymer: Manufactured from a high-grade, chemical-resistant white plastic that remains pliable in cold water while resisting the abrasive "sanding" effect of plaster and pebble pool surfaces.
• Optimized Climbing Geometry: The aerodynamic wing shape provides the necessary downforce and lateral stability to help the cleaner transition from the floor to the walls without floating or stalling.
• Snap-Lock Mounting System: Features precision-molded mounting tabs that snap securely into the cleaner's side pods, ensuring the wings stay attached during high-suction operation or when encountering obstacles.
• WHP "White" Series: Specifically color-matched for Hayward "White" series cleaners, providing an OEM look and feel for a seamless aesthetic repair.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• Part Number: AXV604WHP.

Compatibility & Fitment

This wing kit is a universal fit for the Hayward "A-Frame" suction cleaner chassis. Key compatible models include:

• Hayward Navigator: Fits all standard Navigator and Navigator Pro models.
• Hayward Pool Vac: Compatible with Pool Vac, Pool Vac Ultra, and Pool Vac XL.
• Arneson: Direct replacement for older Arneson Pool Vac units.
• Note: This is a side-specific kit. One wing is labeled for the Left side and the other for the Right side of the cleaner body to ensure proper hydrodynamic flow.

When to Replace

• Worn or "Ragged" Edges: If the bottom edge of the wing has been sanded down until it is thin or jagged, it will no longer create the vacuum seal needed to lift dirt.
• Loss of Wall Climbing: When wings become too stiff or overly worn, the cleaner loses the "grip" required to navigate vertical surfaces.
• Cleaner Stalling: If the cleaner frequently gets stuck on floor returns or main drains, the wings are likely too short to provide the necessary lift over obstacles.
• Visible Cracks: Physical breaks in the mounting tabs or the wing body will cause the wing to flap loosely or fall off entirely during use.

Installation Tips

• Check the Pods: PRO TIP: Before snapping on the new wings, inspect your Side Pods (AXV417WHP). If the pods are heavily worn or "bottomed out," even brand-new wings won't sit at the correct height to provide optimal suction.
• Identify Left and Right: Look for the small "L" and "R" markings molded into the plastic. Installing them on the wrong sides will cause the cleaner to spin or behave erratically.
• The "Snap" Test: Ensure the mounting tabs click fully into the slots. If they don't stay in, check the slots on the cleaner for pebbles or debris that might be blocking the lock.
• Balance Check: After installation, place the cleaner in the pool and check its movement. It should sit flat on the floor; if it tilts, the wings may not be seated evenly.
