•  To remove the cleaner from the pool using the remote 

control, press 

 (see Figure 23). 

The cleaner rotates left until you release the Lift 

System button.

4.8  Synchronizing the Remote Control

Even though the remote control is factory-synchronized 

to your cleaner's control box, it may be necessary to 

synchronize again if you need to replace either the 

control box or the remote control.

•  To synchronize the remote control to the control box:

 Press 

 and hold for 3 seconds to turn on remote.

  Plug the control box into a power source.
  When the display shows the operating time, press
 

 and 

 simultaneously for six (6) seconds.

•  The display shows 

 followed by the 

normal operating time display to indicate the cleaner 

is now synched with the remote and ready to begin 

operating in remote control mode.

4.9  Storing the Cleaner 

The cleaner must be cleaned regularly using slightly 

soapy clean water. Do not use solvents such as acetone 

or its equivalent. Rinse the cleaner generously using 

clean water. Do not let your cleaner dry in direct 

sunlight near the pool. 

NOTE:

  For VX50 4WD and VX55 4WD models, it is 

recommended that the cleaner is stored on its caddy 

for drying (see Figure 26). 

For VX40 and VX45 4WD models where caddy 

is not included in the pack, store the cleaner out 

of direct sunlight or inclement weather. Store 

the control box on the base (see Figure 12).

1. 

Disconnect the fl oating cable from the control 

box. Replace the protective cap on the control 

box.

2. 

Starting at the cleaner head. Remove all coils 

and tangles from the fl oating cable (Figure 25).

Figure 25.  Untangle the Floating cable

3. 

Loosely coil the fl oating cable starting at the 

cleaner and moving toward the connection point 

at control box.
