ABOUT YOUR POOL
AND FILTER SYSTEM
Before installing your cleaner, review and under-
stand all warnings and safety information on the inside
front cover of this manual.
Pre-installation check list
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage
from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any dam-
age is found, have a qualified pool professional make all
necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots, etc.,
under the liner, remove them before installing the cleaner.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including back-
washing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system
is necessary for proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water:
Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and
the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to
the filtration system (whether through a skimmer or dedi-
cated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage the
pump through dry running and overheating.
ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Hazardous suction. Stop pump before
attempting to clean pool cleaner.
Keep skimmer basket and pump strainer basket clean
and free of debris.
If cleaner jams with large debris (leaves, sticks, etc.), try
cleaning debris first from bottom of unit. If this doesn’t
clear unit, remove top swivel assembly (turn 1/4 turn)
and clear the debris from the top.
Remove the pool cleaner from the pool before super
chlorinating (shocking) or chemical balancing. Wait at
least four hours after the chemical procedure before rein-
stalling the cleaner.
Make sure that the cleaner’s brush bristles don’t become
deformed during storage. Store the unit so that it doesn’t
sit on the bristles and so that nothing compresses them.
If possible, do not coil the hose. Store it flat and straight.
If necessary to remove oscillator, see "Oscillator
