Important Safety Instructions
Congratulations on purchasing this Polaris Robotic Cleaner. Please read through the entire manual
before installing your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Improper installation and/or operation can create unwanted electrical hazard which can cause serious
injury, property damage, or death. DO NOT MODIFY THIS EQUIPMENT.
Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions that accompany this
product. Failure to follow warning notices and instructions may result in death, serious injury or property
damage. Consult Polaris customer service at 1-800-822-7933 for assistance. Improper installation and/or
operation may void the warranty.
WARNING
Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or death.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
• Connect unit to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI receptacle
should be provided by a qualified installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push
the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If
the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric
shock. Do not use this product. Disconnect the cleaner and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.
• Per the United States National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
), keep the control box at least five (5) feet from
the edge of the (pool/spa) water. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires a minimum
distance of 3m (10 ft.) to be maintained between the pool edge and the control box. Never submerge the
control box.
• Do not enter pool while the Polaris cleaner is in water.
• Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers
and other equipment.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the Polaris robotic cleaner or control box if the cord is
worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Pool Systems LLC. Technical Support immediately for proper servicing
and replacement of the damaged cord.
• Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical
replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the Polaris robotic cleaner, control box, power
cord, or floating cable.
• NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO ELECTRIC SUPPLY;
PROVIDE A PROPERLY LOCATED GFCI RECEPTACLE. THE CONTROL BOX SHOULD BE
PLUGGED INTO THE GFCI RECEPTACLE BOX.
PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part of
your pool’s operational system.
