General Installaon Informaon
Pre-Installaon Check List
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety informaon in this guide. Failure to follow these instrucons
or improper installaon of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool nish or the vinyl liner, Most cleaners are not designed to traverse
from oor to wall when the pool cove is 90%. There may be other structures installed in the pool that the cleaner cannot navigate, BE
AWARE and supervise the cleaner during unique condions. Fluidra S.A./AstralPool 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 deterioraon or damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualied
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 parally or completely led:
Make sure pool nish is in proper condion as staining, etching, cracking or delaminang may worsen.
Repair loose les and ghten any loose light rings.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your lter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the lter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper
cleaner operaon 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 me could be needed, depending on the pool size. The
cleaner was not designed to automacally clean steps or swimouts, or to work under a solar cover. The cleaner may get stuck in these
areas which can result in damage to the pool nish or vinyl liner. Fluidra S.A./AstralPool disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement
to any of these structures or components of the consumer’s pool. It was also not designed to do inial cleanup for a new pool or when
opening your pool for the season.
AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operang correctly:
The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operang properly so there is no damage to the pool nish. Certain vinyl
liner paerns are parcularly suscepble to surface wear, paern removal, ink rubbing o of, or serious scratches to the paern caused
by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automac pool cleaners. Fluidra S.A./AstralPool is not responsible for
any paern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners. Periodically inspect the cleaner components and the cleaner performance to
ensure it is operang as designed. Replace and/or repair any worn or damages components. Failure to follow instrucons or improper
installaon of the cleaner may result in damage to the cleaner, pool nish or the vinyl liner.

instrucons or improper installaon of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool nish or the vinyl liner, Fluidra S.A./AstralPool disclaims

Disclaimer of Liability - About your Pool and Pool Cleaner
There are a multude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The pool cleaner is a very passive product that will have no impact
on pool life.
Please be aware that over me, deterioraon, discoloraon and brileness of any pool nish can be caused separately by, or in combinaon
with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installaon and other factors. Sucon side 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 situaon holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming pools, because vinyl liners are also aected by the environment and
factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s surroundings. Therefore over me, vinyl can become brile and weak. In
addion, vinyl-lined pools are aected by the workmanship, composion and installaon of the liner and the workmanship and quality
of construcon of the supporng walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner failure. The existence of any of
these type of condions in your pool is not caused by the use or operaon of the pool 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 condion and maintenance of the pool’s surface, water and deck.
Before the cleaner is installed, please take a moment to record the serial number. You will be asked for this number when you
contact our Technical Support Department.
