GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

QIf ambient air temperature exceeds 46ºC (115ºF), protect the Admiral’s power transformer from direct sunlight. However, ensure power

transformer has adequate ventilation.

QDo not connect unit to AC power to the Admiral’s transformer until installation has been completed.

QDo not use if unit is damaged in any way.

QMake sure the Admiral is unplugged from its power supply before opening the unit or performing any other maintenance.

QTo avoid damage to the power supply & blue power cord, never carry the power supply transformer by the blue power cord or pull on the

blue power cord to disconnect from an outlet. Disconnect by pulling the plug, itself, from the outlet.

QDo not pull blue power cord around sharp corners or edges.

QDo not operate with a damaged blue power cord or power supply.

QBefore installing the Admiral, understand the cleaner’s coverage. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or to work

under solar covers. It was also not designed to do an initial clean up for a new pool installation.

QThe power supply must be at least 4m (12ft) from the pool’s edge at all times!

QIt is recommended that you clean your Admiral ﬁlter bag and check the impeller to make sure it is free and clear of debris

after every use.

QDisconnect the power supply transformer from the outlet when not in use.

QDO NOT switch the Admiral to “ON” if it is not immersed in water. Operating the cleaner out of water may cause severe damage & will

result in loss of warranty. Always remember to turn the power supply “OFF” and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the

cleaner from the pool.

INSTALLATION

QEnsure power supply (transformer) is in the off position.

QPlug the power transformer lead into its own dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC

electrical outlet. It is essential the power point is properly connected to an earth

leakage circuit breaker and properly earthed to ground. Consult a qualiﬁed electrician

if you are unsure.

QDo not plug the power supply lead into an extension cord.

QPlug the ﬂoating blue power cord into the power transformer 25V connection socket.

QPlug in the connector of the blue power cord from the cleaner into the power supply

(transformer). The connector is keyed so that it will only plug into the power supply

(transformer) one way. Make sure that the plug is pushed all the way onto the power supply (transformer).

Slide the connector lock (strain relief) onto the connector and turn the connector lock clockwise until it is tight (Do not over tighten).

WARNING:

1. DO NOT RUN THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER. OPERATING THE CLEANER OUT OF THE

WATER WILL DAMAGE THE MOTORS AND VOID THE WARRANTY

2. THE ADMIRAL SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO A TIMING DEVICE

AND LEFT CONTINUOUSLY WITHIN A POOL OR SPA.

QPlace the Admiral into the pool and if needed rock the cleaner side to side to

release any trapped air. The cleaner will sink to the bottom of the pool.

QPlace a sufﬁcient length of the blue power cord into the water that will enable the

Admiral to easily reach all areas of the pool.

(Do not place ALL of the blue power cord into the pool).

QTurn on power supply at dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC electrical outlet and switch power

supply (transformer) to the on position, and the Admiral Plus will begin its cleaning program.

QThe Admiral will automatically shut itself down after two hours.

QIf a second cleaning is required or the Admiral is accidentally shut off, you should wait

one minute before switching the cleaner on again. The cleaner has an automatic lock

out period to protect the electronic intelligent navigation devices.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

During normal operation, the cleaner will appear to shut off for a few seconds, raise the

front wheels off the pool bottom and move either left or right or turn for an undetermined

amount of time. This is normal and has been pre-programmed into the unit to assure the

quickest and most efﬁcient cleaning of your pool.

REMOVING THE CLEANER FROM THE POOL

QSlowly pull the Admiral’s blue power cord to retrieve the Cleaner to the water surface and pool edge.

(DO NOT PULL THE CLEANER OUT OF THE POOL BY THE BLUE POWER CORD).

QReach down and grasp the handle of the Admiral and remove it from the pool as shown in Fig 1 and Fig 2.

Note: The Admiral should be stored in an area that will afford some protection from the elements to insure that it retains its ﬁnish.

CLEANING THE ROBOTIC POOL CLEANERS FILTER BAG

Note: It Is Strongly Recommended That the Admiral’s Filter Bag Should Be Cleaned After Every Use.

QTurn the Admiral upside down and place on the ground or stable surface so the bottom lid is exposed.

QTurn the two front red locking pegs (a) inwards as indicated by the two arrows moulded into top lid to the unlocked position

as shown in Figure 3.

QTo reattach the ﬁlter bag to the bottom lid, turn the ﬁlter bag right-side-out.

QStart at the back of the ﬁlter bag and bottom lid where the ﬁlter bag says

“PUSH” and insert the ﬁlter bead into the channel, so that the tabs are holding

the ﬁlter bag in near the label with the word “PUSH”, as shown in Figure 7.

Note: Visually ensure the Admiral’s ﬁlter bag is correctly seated into the

Cleaner’s Bottom lid retaining channels particularly the corners. Refer Figure 7.

Note: Press the ﬁlter bag bead down all the way around the perimeter making sure

that it is completely seated and behind all the tabs as shown in Figure 7a.

MAKE SURE ALL FILTER MATERIAL IS INSIDE THE CLEANER OTHERWISE

THE LID WILL NOT CLOSE AND LOCK INTO PLACE PROPERLY.

Once the bottom lid is properly seated, turn the red locking pegs in the opposite

direction of the arrows moulded into the bottom lid until it locks between the two

raised locks. Refer Figure 7b.

Press the rear section of the bottom lid into the cleaner while pushing the locking clips

towards the edge of the cleaner until an audible click is heard as shown in Figure 7c.

Note: Ensure the Admiral’s ﬁlter bag is completely enclosed within the Cleaner housing as

the bottom lid will not close properly, and the Cleaner will not operate.

BLUE POWER CORD MAINTENANCE

In the course of using your Admiral, the blue power cord may become twisted or tangled.

The Admiral Blue Kink Resistant Power Cord Advantage

The Admiral Robotic Pool Cleaner has a speciﬁcally designed blue kink resistant power cord using a one piece extruded technology that prevents

the cord from delaminating, protecting the internal wires from shorting out and extending it’s operating life.

If you refer to the blue power cord (Fig 8 below), there are no layers as the cable & wires are manufactured simultaneously.

The coating of the cable is injected with air to form small pockets that allow it to ﬂoat, so the outer layer takes the place of (3) layers

of a typical cable.

Fig 8

The following ﬁve points can prevent or greatly reduce the tangling of the blue power cord:

1) Make sure there are no objects in the pool during the cleaning cycle for the blue power cord to get caught on (pool ropes, toys, etc).

2) Only allow enough blue power cord in the pool for full coverage/do not put excess blue power cord in the pool

(Example 8m pool doesn’t need 15m of blue cord).

3) The Admiral should not be connected to a timing devise and left continuously within a Pool or Spa.

4) Remove cleaner from the pool and uncoil the blue power cord from the power supply after ever cleaning cycle to release the tension

in the blue power cord.

5) The Admiral is designed to work with water at a temperatures > than 13ºC and < than 45ºC. The Cleaner should never be operated

outside of these temperatures or damage may occur.

To uncoil the blue power cord, it is best that the cord is wet:

1. Place the cleaner on the ground as shown in Fig 9.

2. Be sure to use a clear area that will allow the blue power cord to stretch out in a straight line.

3. Pull the blue power cord so it is off the ground.

4. Using your ﬁngers, roll the blue power cord in the opposite direction that it is coiled in.

5. When straight, wrap blue power cord for storage as shown in Fig 10.

STORING THE BLUE POWER CORD

QLoosely loop the blue power cord as shown in Fig 10.

QHold the blue power cord close to the cleaner.

QMake a roughly half metre (two feet) loop with the blue power cord as shown.

QWhen making loops, roll the blue power cord slightly in a counter clockwise manner

to maintain form.

Note: Do not wrap the blue power cord tightly around objects.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUIDE

To ensure the maximum life of the Waterco Admiral Robotic Pool Cleaner, please follow the procedures below:

1. Clean The Admiral Robotic Pool Cleaner ﬁlter bag after every use.

2. Maintain a correct chemical balance of your pool/spa water. The chemical balance of water is a relationship between its pH,

total alkalinity, calcium hardness and water temperature.

The water must be maintained at all times to the following:

PH LEVEL : BETWEEN 7.2 & 7.8.

TOTAL ALKALINITY : BETWEEN 80 & 150ppm.

CALCIUM HARDNESS : BETWEEN 150 & 300ppm.

Also, within these tolerances be balanced to the Langelier Saturation Index within a range of -0.2 to +0.2.

Note: Testing kits are available to test the water yourself or alternately bring a sample of the water to a professional pool and spa shop.

3. Mains water and rural water supplies need to be monitored. Saturation (life) in mains water or bore (rural) will vary depending

on water quality.

4. To prevent damage to the pump and ﬁlter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.

5. Replace the pressure gauge if faulty readings are observed.

WINTER STORAGE

If temperatures will regularly be below 5ºC or over 45ºC, the Cleaner and power supply (transformer) should be stored indoors.
