Well, I was going to hook up the vacuum and clean the pool tonight, but I'm apparently missing at least one (if not more) parts. I know that I have a Baracuda cleaner, which appears to be a model 1500 based on an image search I did. I think I'm missing some parts though. I know that I used *A* pool cleaner last year, but I don't think it was the Baracuda, and I have NO clue where the cleaner I used is.

I've uploaded a few photos to a Picasa album so you can see what I have. There are several of the short white hoses, which I know connect to make the larger hose for the Baracuda. I know the steering wheel looking thing attaches somehow to the pink and blue main portion of the cleaner. But I have no idea on what the blue hose connects to, or what the white square thing is. You can't see it, but at the other end of the clear plastic hose that is attached to the white square thing, there is another elbow. Also, not pictured is a "hose protector net" (only know this because it was in a Baracuda manual that I found online).
