Cleaner hoses create a memory as they adjust to your pool. It is required that you remove the hose 
from the pool and lay it fl at in the sun as above to prevent this from happening on a regular basis. 
MAXIMUM TIME TO BE LEFT OUT IS 2 HOURS.

Automatic pool cleaners most often do not give you complete coverage of your swimming pool. It is normal for the 
cleaner to climb the walls of some swimming pools but not others. 

Steps are very often obstacles for suction cleaners. If your cleaner gets trapped in the step area of your swimming 
pool you should:

•  Shorten the hose length of the cleaner so it does not get to the step area

•  Change the water direction using the eyeball returns so the hose does not go near the step area

•  Decrease the speed of the cleaner using the speed controller valve

•  Remove the rear bumper fi n and run without it

Automatic pool cleaners are designed to clean your swimming pool in general circumstances 

BUT WILL NOT 

CLEAN ALL AREAS OF YOUR POOL.

 Pool owners should be prepared to manually clean their swimming pools 

to compensate for where the cleaner does not reach. Automatic pool cleaners such as our  

POSEIDON

TM

 Automatic 

Swimming Pool Cleaner should clean the vast majority of your swimming pool, eliminating much of your pool 
maintenance time.

To help your Poseidon pool cleaner you should periodically:

•  Brush off the step areas of you pool

•  Brush down the pool walls

•  Brush debris and dirt from the areas the  

POSEIDON

TM

 Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner does not reach into the 

cleaners normal path

•  Ensure the fi ltration system is regularly cleaned

The  

POSEIDON

TM

 Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner has only one moving part for its operation, this part is a 

rubberized hammer located in the main body of the cleaner down near the foot. It is very important to regularly check 
for blockages such as leaves and sticks to ensure the cleaner is operating to its full potential.

Check here for debris such as leaves and sticks

If the throat of the cleaner is blocked simply remove the baffl e plate by unscrewing the 
stainless steel screw and pull out the hammer to clean it out.
