gladiator

Thank you for choosing the Gladiator to clean your pool. We hope

that you will enjoy using your new Gladiator to maintain your swimming

pool for years to come.

Before you begin to use your Gladiator, please take a few minutes to

carefully read these operating instructions.

Again, thank you for choosing the Gladiator.

Dear Customer,

IMPORTANT

WARNING: Your Cleaner should not be used while

people are swimming in the pool.

1. CAUTION: DO not switch the pool cleaner “ON” if it is not

fully immersed in water. Operating the cleaner out of water

will cause severe damage immediately and will result in loss

of warranty.

2.Allow the cleaner to remain in the pool for 15 to 20 minutes

following the end of its cleaning cycle. This will allow the

motors to cool adequately. 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.

Operating the Gladiator Pool Cleaner

Your new automatic pool cleaner contains:

The robotic pool cleaner with its floating cable.

The Power Supply (transformer).

Caddy - cart.

Place the power supply (transformer) at least three meters/

ten feet from the pool.(fig.1). The transformer will supply low voltage to the

cleaner.

Uncoil the cable.(fig.1a)

For proper operation, lock the moveable handle diagonally across

the top of the cleaner's body. Push down on the handle lock mechanism

and slide the handle all the way to the end (recommended one slot before

the end), then release the lock. The handle will remain fixed in this position.

Repeat this process on the other side of the cleaner.

Remember, the handle must be fixed diagonally (fig.2a, 2b)

Place the unit in the water. Turn the unit side to side in the water

to allow air to escape from the body and then let the cleaner

sink to the bottom of the pool (fig.3). Then, spread the cable over the

surface of the pool as evenly as possible (fig.1).

Plug the cable into the power supply. Make sure the key on the plug exactly

corresponds with the key slot on the socket of the power supply (fig.1b).

Plug the power supply into a grounded outlet. Ensure that the electric outlet

has been properly grounded (fig.1c). The light will glow indicating that the

system is “ ON “ and the pool cleaner will start the cleaning cycle. The unit

keeps record of the number of cleaning cycles. Only an authorized service

center can display the accumulated cleaning cycles. (See details on the next

page)

A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI-USA) or a

Residual Current Device (RCD-EUROPE) must be installed to protect your

electric outlet and prevent any possible electric shock.

Please read this manual completely before operating your pool cleaner.

The Remote Control Model is equipped with a multi-directional radio transmitter . This feature will enable you to guide the pool cleaner directly to areas of the pool requiring

additional cleaning attention or for quick clean-ups. When you press the Right or Left Buttons, the unit will turn until the button is released. Then, the machine will proceed

straight ahead in the new direction. Pressing the Forward/Reverse button will cause the cleaner to proceed in the new direction after the button has been released.

The Remote Control has an advanced cleaning program with two options:

STANDARD MODE-this cycle is 1 ½ hours long and cleans the bottom of the pool only.

SUPER MODE— cleans the bottom and the walls of the swimming pools. This cleaning program is 3 hours long and is registered in the cycle counter as two

cycles (one for each 1.5 hours of use). Every time a cleaning cycle is complete the cleaner will stop automatically. Every remote control unit is shipped from the factory with

the Standard Mode as the primary program. To Switch from the Standard to the Super Mode, simply press the "Program" button once. The machine will immediately receive

the command and will start to clean the bottom and the walls. Your signal that the machine is in the special mode is that the machine will climb up to the waterline in the first
