Do you have a manual vac hose ? That'll work great. If not, you need a short piece of 1.5 inch vac hose (4ft...6ft... etc) or a leaf cannister hose.

Will that 1.5” hose fit into the hose my pump is fed with ? That is where I blow it out from correct ? I have a 30’ vac hose and honestly hardly use it bc I just pop the robot in to clean the pool.
Are you saying I need the hose
And then some Type of tip or reducer like mentioned below?
The adapter converts the cyclone to your vac hose. I would blow from the skimmer, all the way through the system.

This adapter is on the unit. What I need is from there to the pump inlet hose I blow it from.
So you need a hose ? A standard issue Vac hose works. It holds itself on the cyclone and you just hold the plumbing side in place while it blows. It doest need a perfect seal with the high CFM output.
Most people don’t connect through the pump. Much easier to connect the adapter to the skimmer port (pipes leading to pump) to blow out the system.
Does your pool have threaded ports in the bottom of the skimmmers?

PoolGate notes he has a cracked hose end. I've had similar and secured the cracked end to its connection by adding a worm hose clamp over the hose.
Loved the PoolGate video. Well done. Would consider that method to blow out the system, but I don't have a hold cutting saw ... or a drill press.
Will try to close my pool for the first time this year, but plan try to do everything with a cyclone via a skimmer.
BTW, if anyone knows how to repair/replace a vac hose end I would be curious to learn how.

Those cuffs are just threaded onto the ridges of the hose. If they are glued (rarely) cut it off if you have slack and thread on a new cuff.

You could easily do that with a hand drill. Hole saws are cheap at home Depot.
I just created this pipe assembly from a couple parts from menards. 1 1/2" thread to pipe, a 90 degree flex coupling and a 2 ft spa hose to clamp onto the adapter that was shipped with the cyclone. This works for me but it threads into the skimmer.
This will be my first year closing, and I've tested it out. The cyclone can put out some pressure.

Attachments
Theres all sorts of ways to attach it. I have a pvc tee in the plumbing for my stenner acid pump. At closing time i take out the bushing and thread the barbed adapter into it. Just easier than going through the skimmer. Be creative. You’ll figure out a way
As shown in your picture, I have found that you need hose clamps. The Cyclone puts out a lot of pressure and without the clamps, you need to hold the hose on to keep it from flying off. Better to use clamps for hand free operation.
