Loss of movement, weak suction, or inconsistent cleaning patterns in a suction-side pool cleaner are often traced back to worn internal drive components. The A-frame and turbine assembly are responsible for converting suction into mechanical motion. When these parts wear down, the cleaner may slow, stall, or stop moving altogether—even if suction at the skimmer is strong.

The Hayward A-Frame & Turbine Kit (AXV621DAT) is a genuine replacement assembly designed to restore proper drive power and internal rotation for Hayward Pool Vac–style suction cleaners, including Pool Vac XL, Navigator Pro, and Pool Vac Ultra models. Replacing these internal components allows the cleaner to regain smooth, consistent movement across the pool floor and walls.

This is a cleaner-specific internal drive kit engineered for Hayward suction-side cleaners—not a universal turbine substitute.

Why the A-Frame & Turbine Are Critical Components

Inside a suction-side cleaner, the turbine spins as water flows through the cleaner body. The A-frame supports and positions the turbine so that rotational energy is transferred efficiently into forward motion. Over time, these parts wear due to constant friction, debris ingestion, and long run times.

Worn A-frame or turbine components can cause:

• Reduced cleaner speed

• Intermittent or jerky movement

• Cleaner stopping under normal suction

• Poor wall climbing

• Incomplete pool coverage

Replacing the AXV621DAT kit restores the internal drive system so the cleaner can operate as designed.

Designed for Hayward Pool Vac–Style Cleaners

This kit is manufactured to Hayward’s original specifications for fit, alignment, and rotational efficiency. Proper geometry is critical—incorrect turbine positioning can reduce performance or accelerate wear on other internal parts.

Using a matched A-frame and turbine assembly ensures the cleaner runs smoothly without stressing the housing or internal bearings.

Built for Continuous Pool Operation

The AXV621DAT assembly is built from durable, pool-grade materials designed to withstand continuous water flow, debris impact, and exposure to chlorinated water. It maintains proper alignment during operation, helping extend the service life of the cleaner.

For service professionals, replacing this kit is a common fix for “no movement” or “weak movement” complaints. For pool owners, it’s a cost-effective way to avoid replacing the entire cleaner.

When to Replace the A-Frame & Turbine Kit

This kit should be replaced when:

• The cleaner stops moving despite good suction

• Movement is slow or inconsistent

• The turbine shows visible wear or damage

• Performing a full internal cleaner rebuild

• Cleaner performance has declined over time

Replacing worn internal drive parts often restores full cleaner function without further repairs.

Practical Repair for Pool Owners and Service Professionals

For pool owners, replacing the A-frame and turbine helps restore dependable cleaning without investing in a new cleaner. For service technicians, the AXV621DAT is a standard internal repair part that resolves many suction-side cleaner performance issues in one service visit.
