Section 3.  Operation 

 CAUTION

To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere 

to the following guidelines:

•  Remove the cleaner from the pool after the 

cleaning cycle is completed and store out of direct 

sunlight or inclement weather.

•  Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of 

the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.

•  Always remove the cleaner from pool before adding 

chemicals, such as chlorine or acid.

•  Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation.

IMPORTANT

•  Always make sure the cleaner head is fully 

submerged before you begin operation.

•  Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle.

•  Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a permanent 

basis.

•  At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from 

the pool. Start at the cleaner head and untangle any 

coils in the cable before storing the cleaner.

•  The pool cleaner is so efficient that it is not 

necessary to run more than three cycles per week.

•  The cleaning cycle can be customized at any time, 

before the cleaner starts or while it is operating.

The Zodiac

®

 robotic cleaner includes a safety feature 

that automatically stops the cleaner if it is powered on 

but not submerged in water. For pools equipped with a 

beach area, this safety feature is programmed to drive 

the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool when the 

impeller is out of the water.

3.2  Submerging the Cleaner

1. 

Submerge cleaner vertically (1) and hold it 

under the surface, moving gently from side to 

side (2) until the bubbles stop to remove any air 

trapped inside (Figure 12).

2. 

When the bubbles stop, allow the cleaner to 

sink to the bottom of the pool.

3. 

Verify the cleaner is sitting on the bottom  

of the pool. Remove additional air if the cleaner 

is still floating.

NOTE:

  The cable side of the cleaner remains up as long as 

the cleaner fan motor is OFF. As soon as you turn the 

cleaner ON, the handle lowers.
