General Cleaner 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.
•
Store on the caddy out of direct sunlight or inclement weather.
•
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.
The Vortex robotic cleaner includes a safety feature that automatically stops the cleaner if
it is powered on but not submerged in water. For pools equipped with a beach area, this
safety feature is programmed to drive the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool when
the impeller is out of the water.
Zodiac recommends not exceeding 3 cleaning cycles per week.
Install and Submerge the Cleaner
1.
With the control box plugged into a power outlet, spread the floating cable across
the pool deck until you reach the middle of the pool length.
2.
At the center point, submerge the cleaner in the pool and hold in the vertical position
to release any air trapped inside. (Figure 12).
