Operation

Charging your cleaner

Turning on your cleaner

Keep it still on level ground.
Select cleaning mode.
➢ Standard Cleaning Mode: If you haven’t cleaned your pool in a long time, or your pool is very dirty and you want to clean all pool surfaces, use Standard Cleaning Mode.
➢ Floor Only Mode: If you clean your pool on a regular basis and only want to clean floor, use Floor Only Mode for daily cleaning.
Don’t move the cleaner before the indicator flashes yellow.

Putting your cleaner into the pool

Submerge the cleaner in the pool as soon as the indicator starts flashing yellow.
Hold the cleaner in water for a few seconds as it releases air trapped in it. Keep the cleaner steady and do not tilt.
Release the cleaner. It takes about 1-2 minutes to complete the self-test and start the cycle.

Taking your cleaner out of the pool

Cleaner will automatically stop at the pool edge.
Pick up the cleaner with the hook.
Turn the cleaner off.

Maintenance

Care Instructions
For the best product performance, please clean and maintain your cleaner according to the following instructions.

After daily use:

Clean the robotic cleaner and the filter basket after each cleaning cycle.
Keep the cleaner away from strong and direct sunlight.
Make sure the charging port is dry before charging.

Every 3-4 months or after a deep cleaning cycle when the pool is considered dirty:

Check and make sure no debris is stuck in the impeller, track treads, or cogs.
Clean according to the instructions below.

Every 12 months or before off-season storage:

Check track treads and brush rollers for wear.
Clean according to the instructions below.

Take off the side panel:
Remove the two screw covers. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws that hold the side panel and track tread in place. Take off the side panel and the track tread and place them to the side.
Clean:
Clean the surfaces of the side panel. Take off the front wheel, the rear wheel, and the transfer gear. Clean the ports with water or cloth and dry them.

Filter Cleaning

It is highly recommended to clean the filter basket after each cleaning cycle.

Note: Do not let the filter basket dry out before cleaning. Clogged tilters will affect the overall cleaning performance of your cleaner by making it difficult to create suction or keep dirt and debris in the tilter basket. Replace the tilter basket when the cleaning results are not satisfying and cleaning the tilter does not make a difference.

Off-Season Storage
If the cleaner will not be in use for an extended period of time, perform the following storage steps:

Thoroughly clean and dry the filter basket, brush rollers, track treads and cogs.
Make sure that no water is left in the cleaner.
The cleaner must be fully charged before storing. It should be placed in a well-ventilated and shaded location, at a temperature between 41°-113°F and humidity lower than 80%RH.
Charge the battery at least once every three months to protect it from over discharging.
Keep the 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.

Indicator Lights

During the working process, the number of green lights gradually decreases. When there is only one red light left, it is in low power mode. The cleaner needs charging.

Battery indicator lights when charging.
When charging, the number of green lights will increase from one to 11, and the outermost two lights will flash until fully charged. When all 11 lights turn green, charging is complete. All lights will turn off after 10 mins.

When should the cleaner be submerged in the pool?
When the two outer function indicator lights are blue, and the two inner ones are flashing yellow, the cleaner must be submerged in the pool as soon as possible.

Cleaner falls to Initialize.
When the two inner function indicator lights turn red, you need to turn off the cleaner, place it on a level ground and then restart it.
