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 dedicated 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.
WARNING
—
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.
