PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
MAINTENANCE
Does Not Clean Whole Pool or Stays in One Place
Check that hose is long enough. Add hose sections.
Make sure the main drain is not interfering with cleaner.
Does Not Clean Well Enough
Ensure pump and filtration system are completely clean.
Adjust pump valves.
Reinstall skimmer automatic regulator valve.
Check the diaphragm for wear; replace if necessary.
Check the skirt pad for wear; replace if necessary.
Hose Floats or Cleaner Stays at Surface
Check automatic regulator valve
If your pool is equipped with one,
you MUST cover your
dedicated suction port/vac port/automatic pool cleaner
port
when not in use by the cleaner.
DO NOT
play with cleaner or apply cleaner or hose to
body, clothing, or hair. The hose and cleaner can take hold
of your body, hair, or clothing and cause serious injury. The
suction from the hose or cleaner can trap a swimmer
underwater.
NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO ENTER THE
POOL
when the cleaner is in use.
DO NOT
allow anyone, especially children, to use or play
with or around the cleaner or hose. Educate the pool users
about the dangers of the hose, cleaner, and suction ports.
STOP PUMP
The cleaner must be completely disabled by
turning off the
pool’s
pump and suction before cleaning or
maintaining the cleaner. Moving parts and suction can
injure fingers or body.
All pools must be cleaned of algae and debris prior to the
cleaner’s
first use.
This cleaner was not designed to be the first clean after pool
construction or at the beginning of the season.
Check your vinyl pool for wear or tear, or for roots, branches,
rocks, or other obstructions under the liner.
Gunite, plaster, and tile pools must be free of deterioration,
cracked or loose tiles, or other conditions that could damage
the cleaner.
The entire filter system must be cleaned prior to installation.
Clean the filter. Empty, backwash, and rinse all baskets. The
cleaner will not operate properly with a dirty or clogged filter
system.
Carefully assess the
cleaner’s
operation after installation. Some
slight adjustments may be needed to ensure proper performance
and to ensure that the cleaner does not damage or cause undue
wear to the pool surface.
The cleaner is not designed to run or clean under a cover.
Run your cleaner 2-3 times a week.
Vinyl pools are especially at risk for abrasion, pattern wear, pattern
or ink removal, or serious scratches from the cleaner running
into objects or debris in the pool. Manufacturer disclaims any
liability for damages caused to vinyl pool patterns or liners.
Once
installed, your cleaner is designed to run for 4-6 hours and
should clean an average sized pool in that time.
Your pool needs to be in good condition in order to use this
cleaner. If there are broken tiles, crumbling plaster, or tears in the
vinyl, the cleaner may damage your pool further as well as be
damaged itself.
The cleaner is not designed to clean pool features, waterfalls, steps
or ladders. Those will need to be cleaned manually with a brush.
Do not wait until your pool is filthy to run the cleaner. The
cleaner is meant to vacuum small debris and dirt from your pool.
Large debris and fallen objects will need to be removed manually.
The cleaner should be considered a preventative maintenance for
a clean pool.
This cleaner is not meant to replace chemical treatments.
Continue regular chemical treatments, and remove the cleaner
during chemical shock treatments.
Before swimmers enter the pool, turn off the pump, unplug the
hose, cover the intake, and then move the cleaner and hose to
an unused side of the pool.
Your cleaner should stay in the pool at all times,
EXCEPT
when it may endanger or entangle swimmers
OR
during shock
treatments. Dry storage will wear the cleaner/hose more quickly
than storage in a correctly balanced pool.
Remove cleaner and lower it into pool again, making sure air is
forced from hose before attaching the hose to the intake. Adjust
hose weights so cleaner is flat to bottom.
Adjust the
pool’s
return line eyeball diverter or install the included
eyeball diverter and outer washer ring.
Check that cleaner sits at a 45
degree°
angle and the skirt pad is
flat against the pool floor; adjust hose weights as needed.
Turn off pump, remove cleaner, and clear the underside and
diaphragm of debris, leaves, dirt, etc.
