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 in a gunite pool or a pool
that is partially or completely tiled:
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.
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.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in
approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed,
depending on the pool size.
The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean
steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It was
also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or
when opening your pool for the season.
Suction entrapment, injury, and drowning
hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction port (“vac
port”) for vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner,
it must be covered when not in use.
A spring loaded
safety cover is included with your cleaner. Install it on
the suction port to prevent entrapment and injury.
Hazardous suction.
Can trap and tear
hair or body parts.
Can cause drowning.
Do not play with cleaner
or hose or apply to body.
Do not let children use or
play with pool cleaner.
Stop pump
before
attempting to clean unit.
