  To avoid damaging the power cable, do not try to 

twist the entIre cable housing (see below). 

 

NOTE:

  To avoid exposing the power cable connector pins

Section 4.  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 on the caddy 

out of direct sunlight or inclement weather.

•  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 as shown in Figure 12.

•  Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating 

cable. Always use the lift feature to remove cleaner 

from the pool. 

•  Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of 

the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.

•  Always remove the cleaner from pool when super 

chlorinating or adding 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.
