IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Disclaimer of Liability About your Pool and Cleaner

There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your 

pool. The pool cleaner is a very passive product that will have no 

impact on pool life.
Please  be  aware  that  over  time,  deterioration,  discoloration  and 

brittleness of  any  pool  finish  can  be  caused  separately  by,  or  in 

combination  with,  age,  an  imbalance  in  pool  water  chemistry, 

improper  installation  and  other  factors.  Suction  side  pool 

cleaners, such as the

  

pool cleaner, will not remove or cause wear 

on “good” pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool  plaster 

will eventually cause wear on the cleaner.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming 

pools,  because vinyl liners are also affected by the environment 

and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s 

surroundings.  Therefore  over time, vinyl can become brittle and 

weak.  In  addition,  vinyl-lined  pools  are  affected  by  the 

workmanship,  composition  and  installation  of  the  liner and the 

workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting walls 

and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner 

failure. The existence of any of these type of conditions in your 

pool is not caused by the use or operation of the pool cleaner. The 

manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to 

any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the 

condition and maintenance of the pool’s surface, water and 

deck.

Before  the  cleaner  is  installed,  please  take  a  moment  to  record 
the serial number. This number is located under the rear handle of 
your  cleaner.  You  will  be  asked  for  this  number  when  you 
contact our Technical Support Department.
