4.2 Operating the vortex 3
CAuTION
To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere
to the following guidelines:
•
Do NOT remove the cleaner from the pool for 15
minutes after the cleaning cycle ends.
•
Approximately 15 minutes after the cycle is
completed, the light located on the control unit
will flash slowly to indicate that the cleaner may
be removed from the pool. The 15 minute period
allows the motor to cool and will prevent damage to
the cleaner.
•
Remove the cleaner from the pool after the
cleaning cycle is completed and store on the caddy
out of direct sunlight or inclement weather.
•
Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating
cable. Always use the handle to remove it from the
pool (refer to Figures 20 and 21).
•
Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of
the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.
•
Remove the cleaner from pool when super
chlorinating or adding acid.
•
Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation.
NOTE
Always make sure the cleaner head is fully
submerged in the water before you begin the
operation cycle.
When the cleaner is powered ON it will remain in
standby until one of the cycle program selection buttons
is pressed. Select either the Cycle I or Cycle II cleaning
program on the control unit: (See Figure 18.)

The cleaner includes a safety feature that
automatically stops the cleaner after about 20
seconds if it is powered on but not submerged
in water. For pools equipped with a beach area,
this safety feature allows the cleaner to reverse,
and back into the pool when the impeller is out
of the water.
7.
Disconnect the control unit cable from the
electrical outlet.
8.
Disconnect the cable from the control unit.
