5. 

Place the cleaner in the pool at the recommended 

entry point (see Figure 4). Spread all of the floating 

cable carefully in the pool, ensuring there are no kinks 

or coils.

NOTE:  For optimal patterning and reduced tangling, the 

floating cable should enter the water near the 

middle of the pool length (see Figure 13).

Section 4.  General Cleaner Operation

 CAUTION

To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere 

to the following guidelines:

•  Remove the cleaner from the pool after the cleaning 

cycle is completed.

•  Store cleaner out of direct sunlight or inclement 

weather.

•  Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating 

cable.

•  Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of 

the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.

•  Always remove the cleaner from pool before super 

chlorinating or adding acid.

•  Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation.

IMPORTANT

•  Always make sure the cleaner head is fully 

submerged before you begin operation.

•  Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle.
•  Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a 

permanent basis.

•  At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from 

the pool.

•  Start at the cleaner head and untangle any coils in 

the cable before storing the cleaner.

The QG50 robotic cleaner includes a safety feature 

that automatically stops the cleaner if it is powered 

on but not submerged in water. For pools equipped 

with a beach area, this safety feature is programmed 

to drive the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool 

when the impeller is out of the water.

4.1 

Install and Submerge the Cleaner

1. 

With the control box plugged into a GFCI outlet, 

spread the floating cable across the pool deck until 

you reach the middle of the pool length.

2. 

Submerge cleaner vertically (1) and hold it under the 

surface, moving gently from side to side (2) until the 

bubbles stop to remove any air trapped inside 

(Figure 12).

3. 

When the bubbles stop, allow the cleaner to sink to 

the bottom of the pool.

4. 

Verify the cleaner is sitting on the bottom of the pool. 

Remove additional air if the cleaner is still floating.
