Pre-Installation Check List

Before installing your cleaner. review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool finish or the vinyl liner, Pentair Aquatic Systems disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.

Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:

Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from age, chemicals. pool wall damage. etc. If any damage is found. have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary repairs. Also. if there are stones. roots. etc.. under the liner. remove them before installing the cleaner.

Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.

Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter. including backwashing. rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:

The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed. depending on the pool size. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimsuits or to work under a solar cover. It was also not designed to do the initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your pool for the season.

AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating correctly:

The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the pool finish. Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear. pattern removal. ink rubbing off of. or serious scratches to the pattern caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Pentair Aquatic Systems is not responsible for any pattern removal. abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.

Disclaimer of Liability
About your Pool and Cleaner
There is a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool.
These robotic pool cleaners are very passive products that will have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration, and brittleness of any pool finish can be caused separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation, and other factors. Robotic pool cleaners will not remove or cause wear on “good” pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool plaster will eventually cause wear on the cleaner.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming pools because vinyl liners are also affected by the environment and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight, and the pool’s surroundings. Therefore over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by the workmanship, composition, and installation of the liner and the workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors that can contribute to liver failure.
The existence of any of these types of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of the cleaner. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool’s surface, water, and deck.

PREPARATION OF THE POOL AND CLEANER

Overview
Prowler®920 and Warrior® SE Robotic Pool Cleaners are designed to scrub, vacuum, and filter (including the waterline) your inground pool. Before operating this product, be sure to read and follow all warning and safety instructions on pages ii-iii.

Cleaner Components:

• Cleaner and 60 ft. Communication Cable with Swivel
• Power Supply
  

Cleaner Features:

• Weekly Timer
• Wall and Waterline Scrubbing
• Top Loading Basket Filtration

Initial Setup
Before using the cleaner for the first time, perform the following procedures:

STEP 1:
Power Supply Placement
Position the power supply at least 12 feet (3.5 m) from the edge of the pool. See Figure 1.

STEP 2:
Unroll Cleaner Cable
Unroll the cable and stretch it out completely so that it has no kinks. See Figure 2.

STEP 3:
Connect Power Supply to Cleaner
Connect the communication cable to the power supply.
Ensure the connector notch is lined up with the corresponding groove in the socket on the power supply.
Turn the cable connector clockwise to lock the cable into the power supply connection. See Figure 3.

STEP 4:
Connect Power Supply to Power Source
Connect the power supply to the electrical source/outlet.
See Figure 4.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
ELECTROCUTION: Connect only to a grounding-type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to the electrical supply; provide a properly located outlet.

STEP 5:
Placing the Cleaner in the Pool

Do not switch the pool cleaner to “ON” if it is not fully immersed in water. Operating the cleaner out of water will immediately cause severe damage and will result in loss of warranty. Do not leave the cleaner in the pool all the time.
Always remember to turn the power supply “OFF” and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool.

1. Be sure the power supply is positioned at least 12 feet (3.5 m) from the pool.

2. Lower the cleaner into the pool by the handle (see Figure 5 ).
   Note: Never lower the cleaner into the pool by the communication cable. This puts an unnecessary strain on the cable and could result in damage to the cleaner.

3. Gently tilt the cleaner from side to side or turn upside down to release the trapped air. See Figure 6.

OPERATION

Weekly Timer
The power supply has a timer control that allows you to set an automatic cleaning schedule each week. Be sure the cleaner is fully immersed in water before turning on the power.

Setting the Weekly Timer
When the power supply is switched on, you may choose a pool cleaning schedule for the coming week by pressing the Weekly Timer button.
Note: The cleaner will always begin to work upon set-up.

Schedule LEDS:
LED 1 – The cleaner will automatically work every day for a full cycle = 7 times per week. Press the Weekly Timer button once to select this interval.
LED 2 – The cleaner will automatically work every other day for a full cycle = 3 times per week. Press the Weekly Timer button twice to select this interval.
LED 3 – The cleaner will automatically work every 3 days = 2 times a week. Press the Weekly Timer button three times to select this interval.

Pressing the Weekly Timer button four consecutive times will reset the cleaner’s schedule. If you do not press any of the buttons within the first 5 seconds after the power has been switched on, the cleaner will default to running one cycle only. While the cleaner is working in weekly timer mode, the appropriate Weekly Timer LED will blink constantly between cycles. At the end of the week, the power supply automatically shuts off.

MAINTENANCE

Make sure the cleaner’s power supply is turned “OFF” and is disconnected from the electrical source/outlet before servicing the cleaner. Moving parts may injure hands or fingers if the cleaner inadvertently powers on during servicing.

LED Indicator Lights
The Prowler®920 or Warrior® SE Robotic Pool Cleaner includes an LED indicator just above the scrubber on the front side of the cleaner (see
Figure 8 ). During normal operation powered by the power supply, the LED indicator will blink blue.

Removing the Cleaner from the Pool
The cleaner will shut off automatically at the end of a cleaning cycle. Follow the steps below to remove the cleaner from the pool.

Ensure the power supply is turned “OFF” and disconnected from the electrical source/outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool. Operating the cleaner out of water will immediately cause severe damage and will result in loss of warranty. Do not leave the cleaner in the pool all the time.

1. Disconnect the power supply cable from the electrical outlet and disconnect the cleaner communication cable from the power supply.

2. Using the communication cable, slowly and gently pull the cleaner to the waterline at the edge of the pool until you can reach the handle. DO NOT lift the cleaner out of the water by the cable.

3. Using the handle, lift the cleaner out of the pool. See Figure 9.
   Note: Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the communication cable. This puts an unnecessary strain on the cable and could result in damage to the cleaner.

4. Place the cleaner on the edge of the pool and allow excess water to drain from the cleaner body and basket. See Figure 10.
   

5. Disconnect the communication cable from the power supply.

6. Store the cleaner in a covered area with the communication cable coiled.

Cleaning the Filter Basket
Note: It is highly recommended that you clean the filter basket after each cleaning cycle. Too much debris in the filter will restrict the suction power of the Prowler®920 or Warrior®SE Robotic Pool Cleaner and reduce its effectiveness.
To clean the filter basket, follow the instructions given below:

STEP 1:
Open the Filter Cover
When the filter cover is opened the filter basket handle will pop up independently. See Figure 12.

STEP 4:
Clean the Filter Basket
Thoroughly clean the filter basket with a garden hose.
See Figure 15.

Periodic Filter Screen Cleaning
Note: It is recommended that you clean the filter screens at least once a month. Too much debris in the filter screens will restrict the suction power of the Prowler ®920 or Warrior®
SE Robotic Pool Cleaner and reduce its effectiveness.
To dismantle and clean the four filter screens, follow the instructions given below.

STEP 1:
Remove the Filter Screens
Using your thumbs, firmly press inwards on the top of Panel 1 to remove the filter screen from its frame (se e Figure 16 ).
