Baracuda R0524700 Side A Direction Control Device Replacement for MX8 Pool Cleaner

Confirm the right-hand gearbox

This listing covers the Side A direction control device, one of two gearboxes that help compatible Zodiac suction cleaners turn. The seller places Side A on the right when you face the front of the cleaner.

• Before ordering, identify whether the failed unit is on the right side; if not, do not assume this part fits.
• The compatibility note covers MX6, MX6 Elite, MX8, and MX8 Elite suction cleaners.
• Compare the old part number or mounting position with the description instead of relying only on cleaner model.

These gearboxes are side-specific. A confirmed side reduces the chance of ordering a unit that cannot correct turning behavior. If markings are unclear, inspect both sides carefully and record what you find before purchasing. That simple confirmation can save a return and get the cleaner navigating properly again.
