The top front cover kit (360229) is a replacement part made by Pentair. The same high-quality materials were used to manufacture the original factory part. Making this a genuine OEM product. This front cover was designed to give the cleaner a clean sleek look while not adding any type of impediment to the cleaner as it moves around the surface performing its task of cleaning it. Another cool feature about this part is the fact that it acts as a protective cover for the internal parts from any outside influence that may disrupt the cleaning process. The cover is blue making it easy to identify and wraps itself around the front and side edges of the cleaner for maximum protection while also having the Racer logo on these same sides which helps this cleaner stand out among its competitors.
