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, 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:

| The operator should keep their 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.
