General Installation Information 

FCC Statement 

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the 

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. 

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses 

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if installed and used in 

accordance with the instructions, guarantees that interference will not 

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful 

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 

interference by one or more following measures:

Pre-Installation Check List

Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and 

safety information in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions or 

improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool 

finish or the vinyl liner, Pentair Aquatic Systems disclaims any liability for 

repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the 

customer’s pool.

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 damage is found, have a qualified 

pool professional make all the 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 backwashing, rinsing, 

and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper cleaner 

operation and coverage.

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.

AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating 

correctly:

The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is 

operating properly so there is no damage to the pool finish. Certain 

vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear, pattern 

removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to the pattern caused by 

objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic 

pool cleaners. Pentair Aquatic Systems is not responsible for any pattern 

removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.

• 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• 

Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. 

• 

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that 

to which the receiver is connected. 

• 

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the 

party responsible for compliance (Pentair) could void the user’s authority 

to operate this equipment.

IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not operate the robotic pool cleaner when there 

are people swimming in the pool. Hose can trip or 

entangle swimmers which could result in drowning. 

This product contains a chemical known to the state 

of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other 

reproductive harm.

Keep the robotic pool cleaner out of reach of 

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental 

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, without proper 

supervision and understanding of the instructions.  

When lifting the robotic pool cleaner, take care to 

prevent back injury.
