Pre-installation Check List:
Before installing the cleaner in a

etc. If any damage is found, have a
qualified pool professional make all
necessary repairs.
Also, if there are any stones,
roots, etc., under the liner, remove
them before installing the cleaner.
Before you install the cleaner,
make sure you have cleaned the filter

all baskets.
Always make sure hose and clea-
ner are full of water before starting

overheating and damage pump.

tain a clean pool. It was not designed
for initial cleanup when opening pool

About Maintenance and Care
WARNING
Hazardous suction. Stop pump before
attempting to clean pool cleaner.
Keep skimmer basket and pump
strainer basket clean and free of de-
bris.
If cleaner jams with large debris
(leaves, sticks, etc.), try cleaning de-
bris 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 che-
mical procedure before reinstalling
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.
