Owner’s Manual

Section 1.  Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

 

Congratulations on purchasing the AstralPool Robotic Cleaner. Please read through the entire manual before 

installing your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.

  

WARNING

Failure to comply with the following warnings can increase risk of fire or electrocution which can result 

in property damage and serious injury, including loss of life.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK

To reduce risk of electrical shock:

•  The cleaner is to be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian wiring rules AS/

NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the swimming pool equipment for which the 

cleaner will be an integral part. The cleaner is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a 

rated residual operating current of 30mA.

•  Do not enter pool while the robotic cleaner is in water.

•  Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and 

other equipment.

•  To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the robotic cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn or 

damaged. Contact AstralPool Consumer Care 1300 186 875 for Australia or 0800 807 665 for New Zealand 

immediately for proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.

•  Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement 

parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the robotic cleaner, control unit, power cord, or floating cable.

•  Use only the power supply provided with the product.

•  NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.

•  DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO ELECTRIC SUPPLY; PROVIDE A PROPERLY 

LOCATED APPROVED ELECTRICAL OUTLET. THE CONTROL UNIT SHOULD BE PLACED NEAR THE APPROVED 

RECEPTACLE BOX.

PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING

•  To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental 

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge to operate this product.

•  Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part of your 

pool’s operational system.
