Important safety Instructions
Congratulations on purchasing a Zodiac Vortex Robotic Pool Cleaner. Please take a moment to 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
Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or
drowning.
PREvENT ElECTRICAl shOCk
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
•
Only connect the control box to a power outlet protected by a 30 mA maximum ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
•
The 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.
•
Make sure the plug is permanently and easily accessible.
•
The control box must not be installed in a floodable area.
•
Per the United States National Electric Code (NEC
®
), keep the power unit at least five (5) ft. (1.5 m) from the
edge of the (pool/spa) water and do not remove it from its caddy. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC
®
) requires a minimum distance of three (3) m (10 ft.) to be maintained between the pool edge and the
power unit. Never submerge the control unit.
•
Do not enter pool while the 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 cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact
your local Zodiac dealer immediately for a replacement cord.
•
Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement parts
when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the cleaner, control unit, power cord, or floating cable. All repairs should be
made by an experienced service professional using only Zodiac OEM parts.
•
NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.
•
Do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet. The control
unit should be placed near the outlet 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.
