PT9i-06-12
Congratulations on your purchase of the most technologically advanced automatic pool vacuum available today. The PT9i is easy to
use and will make maintaining your pool affordable and effortless. Following these simple directions will insure that the PT9i will
quickly and efficiently clean your pool today and for many years to come.
INSTALLATION
• Check to make sure the power supply is in the OFF position.
• Plug the power supply into a GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupted) or ELI (Earth Link Interrupter) protected (110 Volt) electrical outlet.
• Do not plug the power supply into an extension cord.
• Plug the floating cleaner cord into the power supply.
• Plug in the connector from the cleaner into the power supply. The connector is keyed so that it will only plug into the power supply one way.
Make sure that the plug is pushed all the way onto the power supply. Slide the connector lock (strain relief) onto the connector and turn the
connector lock clockwise until it is snug.
• Walk the cleaner to the farthest point of the pool to ensure full pool coverage.
DO NOT RUN THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER.
OPERATING THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER WILL DAMAGE THE MOTORS AND VOID THE WARRANTY
• Place the PT9i into the pool and rock the cleaner side to side to release any trapped air.
The cleaner will sink to the bottom of the pool.
• Put enough of the floating cord into the water to assure that the cleaner can easily reach all areas
of the pool. (Do not place ALL of the floating cord into the pool).
• Flip the switch to the ON position.
• The cleaner will begin its cleaning program.
• The cleaner will automatically shut itself down after three hours.
• If a second cleaning is required or the unit is accidentally shut off, you should wait 30 seconds
before switching the unit on again.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During normal operation, the cleaner will appear to shut off for a few seconds. This is
normal and part of the pool cleaning program. The unit has multiple ways of cleaning the walls. It may climb to
the top, scrub, then make a turn and drive back down the wall to the bottom of the pool. It may also climb to the
top, shut down for a few seconds, remove itself from the wall, turn its pump motor on again, pushing itself down
to the bottom of the pool away from the wall. It could also climb the wall, scrub the waterline, turn its pump
motor off, and float away from the wall down to the bottom. All of these variations have been programmed into
the cleaner and are designed to most quickly and efficiently clean your entire pool.
This unit has been designed to clean all areas of your pool. It will climb the walls, and occasionally break the
surface. In the process of climbing the wall it may stay on the surface and continue to operate from several
seconds to a few minutes. This is normal, and the cleaner will eventually make its way to the bottom to continue
its cleaning. Since most of the dirt is concentrated on the floor of the pool, the cleaner will spend the majority of
its time on the floor.
