Care and Maintenance
The Zodiac
®
AX10 Activ cleaner cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning thw
pool surface randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool’s
shape and available water flow. If Zodiac AX10 Activ is not climbing your walls, ensure the flow is correct
by counting wheel speed. Also, ensure the pools surface is not covered in algae as this slippery surface
will affect the cleaner’s traction.
During each coverage pattern cycle, the AX10 Activ cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and
pivots to the right and left. The power scrubbers underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing
and stability as well as directing debris into the cleaner mouth.
Removing the cleaner out of your pool
Always turn the filter pump off and disconnect the head of the cleaner from the leader hose section when
you take the Zodiac cleaner out of the pool.
Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the Zodiac AX10 Activ from the skimmer box before cleaning or backwashing the
pool filter. After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes to flush
out the suction lines before re-connecting the cleaner.
Adding Chemicals to the Pool
Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least four (4) hours when adding chemicals.
Removing Debris from Engine
1. Turn off filter pump and remove cleaner from the pool.
2. Push the latch release button on the top of the cleaner.
3. Rotate the top lid assembly back until it clicks
into an upward position.
4. Look into engine and remove debris that is
present.
5. If needed, slowly push engine paddles forward
and/or backwards to move stuck debris to
an accessible position then remove it. When
moving the engine paddles, make sure the
cleaner tracks are allowed to move freely as
they will turn as the engine paddles rotate.
6. Close engine top and ensure the latch clicks in
place.
