•
General maintenance of your Pool Buster requires you occa-
sionally clean off the O-rings on the “ON-OFF” knob and add
silicone lubricant/sealant. This will ensure easier turning and a
water-tight seal. This lubricant is available at your local pool &
spa retailer.
•
In the Nose Cap (Part No. PBA002) there is a Flapper Valve. To
keep the Nose Cap Flapper Valve moving freely, clean the valve
after every use. This will help to keep dirt inside the Pool Buster
after the cleaner is removed from the pool.

MAINTENANCE
Storing the Pool Buster
NOTE: State of the art Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries power the Pool
Buster. These are the same batteries used in many portable phones. In
order to properly ventilate and cool the batteries and drive system a cer-
tain amount of space is left open in the Pool Buster body. As a result, from
time to time, water may enter the unit. In order to allow for any water to be
drained you should remove the On-Off Knob after each use, turn the ma-
chine so the knob is towards the fl oor and tilt side to side in all directions.
The amount of water may be very small or not noticed at all. After remov-
ing any water use a blow dryer on warm setting to dry any moisture build-
up on the inside of the motor box. Water entering the Pool Buster body
presents no safety hazard and should be drained to avoid any chance of
long-term corrosion. . The batteries and motor in the Pool Buster are long
lasting and proper care will help to prolong the life of your appliance.
NOTE:
Remove Pool Buster from charger before storage.
When not in use, your Pool Buster should be stored indoors, in a clean
dry location sheltered from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and
rain. Do not store the Pool Buster in a garage or anywhere the unit could
freeze. Storing the Pool Buster in areas of high humidity can affect battery
performance over time.
For your convenience the Pool Buster has an oval opening in the pool pole
adaptor on which you can hang the unit.
Long Term Storage
Follow the above storage instructions and unplug the charger from the
electrical outlet.
When charging for the fi rst time after long-term storage, your Pool Buster
may take 2-3 uses before full time is achieved.
