WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Please adhere strictly to the following WARNINGS:
| Take the Robot Pool Cleaner out of the pool before allowing people to enter
the pool.
---|---
| When examining the Robot Pool Cleaner, disconnect the main power supply.
| Ensure that children do not attempt to access Robot Pool Cleaner while it is
operating.
| Keep the Robot Pool Cleaner out of the reach of children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
| Only an original power cable must be used, at all times. Replaced by a Robot
Pool Cleaner certified technician, in case of need to avoid a hazard.
| The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a
ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This GFCI 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 power unit without the test button being pushed, a ground current
may be flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use
the power unit. Disconnect the power unit and contact the manufacturer for
assistance.
---|---
| To reduce the risk of electric shock replace the damaged cord immediately.
Do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to the electric supply;
provide a properly located outlet.
Please ensure that the following PRECAUTIONS are implemented:
| Operator should keep his hands away from the driving belt mechanism.
| Position the Caddy and power supply at least 3.5m/12ft from the pool’s edge
– during operation.
| For continued protection against possible electric shock, the power supply
unit should be placed at least 11cm/4in above ground.
| When lifting the Robot Pool Cleaner, take care to prevent back injury.
| Do not bury cord – locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers, and other equipment.
| Do not use the pool cleaner if you have added liquid flocculant or any other
clarifier to the pool water. These substances obstruct and damage the robot’s
filters.
3.1 Water Conditions
Use the Robotic Pool Cleaner in the following water conditions:
Chlorine | Max 4 PPM |

If you notice debris trapped in the impeller:
Make sure the power supply is switched off and unplugged.
Clean the debris trapped in the impeller opening, according to the following steps:
6.4 Periodic general maintenance – Recommended at least once a week
- When the cable is wet, spread it flat and straight in the yard, and allow it to dry for at least five hours to avoid twisting of the cable.
- Wash the Robotic Pool Cleaner with fresh water, to reduce damage caused by the chemicals in the pool water.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the Robotic Pool Cleaner will not be in use for an extended period of time, perform the following storage steps:
- Make sure that no water is left in the Robotic Pool Cleaner.
- Thoroughly clean the filter basket and panels and insert them back in place.
- Roll up the cable so that it has no kinks.
