Hayward AXV621417WHP A-Frame and Pod Tune-Up Kit (Open Line) for Navigator® / PoolVac® Cleaners
The Hayward AXV621417WHP is an OEM A-Frame and Pod tune-up kit designed to refresh the steering and front-end structure on compatible Hayward suction-side automatic pool cleaners. Replacing worn A-frame and pod components helps restore smoother tracking, better climbing, and more consistent cleaning patterns when a cleaner begins to wander, stall, or steer poorly.
Fits / Compatibility
- Hayward Navigator
- Hayward Navigator Pro
- Hayward PoolVac XL
- Hayward PoolVac Ultra
Note: Many existing PoolVac and Navigator models can also be updated with the V-Flex™ upgrade kit (sold separately).
What’s Included
- (1) A-Frame assembly
- Pod components (pod set/assembly as supplied in the kit)
Common Signs You Need This Kit
- Cleaner stalls, hangs up, or won’t transition smoothly
- Erratic steering (wandering, tight looping, or inconsistent coverage)
- Worn pod areas causing poor traction or unstable movement
- Cracked, warped, or brittle A-frame/pod components from age and UV exposure
Installation Notes
- Remove the cleaner from the pool, rinse off debris, and work on a clean surface.
- Replace parts one section at a time to keep orientation correct.
- After installation, confirm pods move freely and the cleaner sits level.
- Test-run the cleaner and fine-tune suction/flow if needed for best tracking.

Maintenance Tips
- Check cleaner wear items regularly (pods, shoes, flaps, and wings). Worn parts often cause steering issues first.
- Keep skimmer and pump baskets clean—low suction can make a cleaner appear “broken” when it’s really flow-related.
- Verify hose length and remove kinks; poor hose setup can cause looping and poor coverage.
- Rinse the cleaner after heavy debris events to reduce grit wear on moving parts.
