Maintenance
The cleaner requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect your cleaner from time to time to make
sure that:
•
The hammer is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
•
The foot pad is not excessively worn. When the traction pads on the bottom have worn down,
it is time for replacement.
When storing the cleaner, do not coil the hose
.
Lay the hose flat in an area protected from direct
sunlight. If hose sections are disconnected, try not to disturb the hose weight locations.
The

hoses is specially designed to ensure optimum performance from the cleaner.
Should replacement be required, insist on genuine

hoses.
Disclaimer of Liability - About your Pool and the Cleaner
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The
BADU
®
Vac
I
Automatic
Pool Cleaner is 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. An automatic pool cleaner, such as the
BADU
®
Vac
I
, 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 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
BADU
®
Vac
I
. The manufacturer and Speck Pumps SA Pty Ltd as the
distributor 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.
