Important Safety Instructions

Congratulations on purchasing this Aqua Products Robotic Cleaner. Please read through the entire manual before installing your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.

WARNING
Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or death.

PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce risk of electrical shock:

• Connect the unit to a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI receptacle should be provided by a qualified installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this product. Disconnect the cleaner and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using it.
• Per the United States National Electrical Code ® (NEC ® ), keep the control unit at least five (5) feet from the edge of the (pool/spa) water. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires a minimum distance of 3m (10 ft.) to be maintained between the pool edge and the control unit. Never submerge the control unit.
• Do not enter the pool while the Aqua Products cleaner is in water.
• Do not bury the cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the Aqua Products robotic cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact Fluidra Technical Support immediately for proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.
• Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the Aqua Products robotic cleaner, control unit, power cord, or floating cable.
• NEVER OPEN THE CONTROL UNIT.
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY; PROVIDE A PROPERLY LOCATED GFCI RECEPTACLE. THE CONTROL UNIT SHOULD BE PLUGGED INTO THE GFCI RECEPTACLE BOX.

PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system.

CAUTION
Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.

• The Aqua Products cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
• Clean out the debris from the Aqua Products cleaner after each use.
• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 95 ° ° F (35 ° C) or below 55 ° F (13 C).

USE OF THE AQUA PRODUCTS ROBOTIC CLEANER IN A VINYL LINER POOL

Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. The ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Fluidra is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

WARNING

• Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution, or drowning.
• Prevent Electrical Shock
• U.S.: Per NEC ® requirements, keep the control unit at least five (5) ft. (1.5 m) from the edge of the pool. CANADA: Per CEC requirements, keep the control unit at least three (3)m (10 ft.) from the edge of the pool.
• Only connect the control unit to a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a certified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect the control unit.
• Do not allow anyone to swim while the cleaner is in the pool.
• The control unit is not waterproof. In order to prevent electrocution, never submerge the control unit or leave exposed to inclement weather.

1. Plug power supply into a GFCI outlet (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) (Figure 1). The power Supply must be 5 ft. from the pool’s edge.
2. Straighten the floating cable. Lift the flap on the power supply and plug in the power cable (Figure 2).

Install the Cleaner

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 cleaner out of direct sunlight or inclement weather.
• Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating cable.
• Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.
• Always remove the cleaner from the pool before 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 out debris 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.

Submerge in the Pool

• With the control box plugged into a GFCI outlet, spread the floating cable across the pool deck until you reach the middle of the pool length.
  NOTE: For optimal patterning and reduced tangling, the floating cable should enter the water near the middle of the pool length (Figure 3).

• Submerge cleaner vertically and turn upside down until the bubbles stop to remove any air trapped inside (Figure 4).

• When the bubbles stop, allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of the pool.

• Verify the cleaner is sitting right-side-up on the bottom of the pool. Remove additional air if the cleaner is still floating.

• Spread all of the floating cables carefully in the pool, ensuring there are no kinks or coils. Use only as much cable as you need to reach the farthest wall. This can help prevent cable tangling (Figure 5).

Start / Stop Cleaning

1. Press the On/Off button to begin or interrupt cleaner operation (Figure 6).
2. Press the Select button to choose between Small Pool and Large Pool. The cleaning duration for a Small Pool is 1 hour; for a Large Pool, the duration is 2 hours (Figure 7).
3. The cleaner will begin to move.

Optimal Patterning/Cable Tangling
It is recommended to alternate the angle and the direction of the cleaning path every cleaning cycle to ensure the cleaner is covering the whole pool, as well as prevent cable tangling.

1. Turn the cleaner upside down. Locate the wheel pins on the axle: one adjustable pin; one fixed pin (Figure 8).
2. Reverse the positions of adjustable and fixed wheel pins (Figure 9).

Remove from Pool

1. Gently pull the floating cable to bring the cleaner within arm’s reach (Figure 10).
2. Gently pull the cleaner up to the waterline (Figure 11).
3. Use the handle to lift the cleaner from the water (Figure 12). Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating cable.

Remove Debris

For best performance, remove debris after every cleaning cycle.

WARNING
To avoid electric shock and other hazards which could result in permanent injury or death, disconnect (unplug) the cleaner from the power source before performing any cleaning and maintenance.

1. Unplug the power to the cleaner at the control unit. Unplug the control unit from the power source.
2. Push side tabs down and outward to release the cleaner lid (Figure 13).
3. Pull gently on the elastic band around the suction ports to release the filter bag (Figure 14).
4. Pull tabs to unfasten and turn the bag inside out for thorough cleaning (Figure 15).
5. Using a hose with clean water, rinse the filter bag to remove all debris (Figure 16).
6. Replace back into the cleaner body and replace the cover.
7. Store the cleaner out of direct sunlight for next use.

Store the Cleaner When Not in Use

Do not leave the cleaner in the pool when not in use. The cleaner should be cleaned regularly using slightly soapy clean water. Do not use solvents such as trichloroethylene or its equivalent. Rinse the cleaner generously using clean water. Do not let your cleaner dry in direct sunlight near the pool.

1. Disconnect cleaner from the power source.
2. Start at the cleaner head, remove all coils and tangles from the floating cable. Lay the cable in the sun to loosen any tangling memory (Figure 17).
3. Disconnect the cable from the control unit.
4. Loosely coil the floating cable starting at the cleaner and moving toward the connection point at the control unit.
5. Store the cleaner and power supply in a dry/shaded area.
6. For extended periods, such as the Winter months, store the cleaner in a box to keep motors, plastics and seals protected (make sure the cleaner is dry before storing) (Figure 18).

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance is recommended to extend the life of your cleaner.

WARNING
To avoid electric shock and other hazards which could result in permanent injury or death, disconnect (unplug) the cleaner from the power source before performing any cleaning and maintenance.

1. Avoid dropping the unit or the power supply.
   Dropping the cleaner may cause serious damage.

2. Clean the filter bags regularly.
   Regular cleaning prevents clogging and keeps recirculated water cleaner.

3. Adjust wheel direction after every cleaning cycle.
   Adjusting wheel direction ensures your cleaner reaches all areas of the pool and prevents cable tangling.

4. Rinse the cleaner with fresh water.
   Rinsing the outside and the inside of the cleaner removes chlorinated pool water and protects internal components.

Store in a cool, dry location when not in use.
Coil the cable under the cleaner and store it in a dry/shaded area. Store in a dry box for longer periods.
