WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Please adhere strictly to the following WARNINGS:
- Ensure the electrical outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) or an Earth Leakage Interrupter (ELI).
- Keep the power supply out of standing water.
- Position the power supply at least 3.5m/12ft away from the edge of the pool.
- Do not enter the pool while the Pool Cleaner is in the water.
- Unplug the power supply before servicing.
- Take the Robot Pool Cleaner out of the pool before allowing people to enter the pool.
- When examining the Robot Pool Cleaner, disconnect the main power supply.
- Ensure that children do not attempt to access Robot Pool Cleaner while it is operating.
- Keep the Robot Pool Cleaner out of the reach of children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
- The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This GFCI should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the power unit without the test button being pushed, a ground current may be flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the power unit. Disconnect the power unit and contact the manufacturer for assistance.
- Only an original power supply and power cable must be used, at all times. Replaced by a Robot Pool Cleaner certified technician, in case of need to avoid hazard.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged cord immedietely.
Do not use extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet. - Keep the Robotic Pool Cleaner out of the reach of children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
Please ensure that the following PRECAUTIONS are implemented:
- Operator should keep hands away from driving belt mechanism.
- Position the Caddy and power supply at least 3.5 m (12 ft) from pool’s edge – during operation.
- For continued protection against possible electric shock, the power supply unit should be placed at least 11 cm (4 in) above ground.
- When lifting the Robot Pool Cleaner, take care to prevent back injury.
- Do not bury cord – locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
- This Robot is for use with permanently installed pools. Do not use with storable pools.
A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
When not in use, store the Pool Cleaner on its Caddy in a shaded area. Use the Pool Cleaner in the following water conditions only.
Chlorine | Max 4 PPM |
pH | 7.0-7.8 PPM |
Temperature | 6 °C – 35 °C (43 °F – 95 °F) – climbing performance may be affected below 15 °C (59 °F) |
NaCl | Maximum = 5000 PPM |

USE THE POOL CLEANER
Setup
The Pool Cleaner is very simple to use. Simply place it in the pool and make sure that it is correctly positioned on the floor of the pool.
Turn it ON and enable it to complete the task.
Before using the Pool Cleaner for the first time, perform the following steps:
- Unwind the blue cable and stretch it out completely so that it has no kinks.
- Remove the plastic coverings from the brushes.
Adjust the Handle Angle
The robot’s handle should be adjusted and locked diagonally in order to ensure optimum cleaning results. The handle angle can be adjusted also to determine the speed at which the robot advances along the waterline.
- Position the power supply so that it is approximately at the center of the long side of the pool at min 3.5m/12ft from the pool and placed min 11cm/4” above the ground.
- Attach the blue cable to the power supply by inserting it with the notch on the connector (1) lined up with the groove in the socket on the power supply and turning clockwise (2).
- Plug in the power supply and leave it in the OFF position.
Place the Pool Cleaner in the Pool
- If your Pool Cleaner is equipped with brushes that contain sponges, dip the brushes in the water and squeeze them so that they will absorb water the first time you use the Pool Cleaner, or if the brushes have dried out between uses.
- Release the Pool Cleaner and let it sink to the floor of the pool.
- Make sure that the blue cable is free of any obstructions.
- To avoid kinks in the blue cable, place approximately enough cable in the water for the Pool Cleaner to reach the farthest corner of the pool.
- Turn the power supply ON.
- The Pool Cleaner will now operate until it has reached the end of the cleaning cycle.
