•Do not operate outside the pool. This will damage the motor
seal and void the warranty.
•Do not drag the cleaner out of the pool against the side wall.
This could damage the cleaner and/or the pool wall.
•Only operate the cleaner for the period of time necessary to
clean the pool. Excessive use is unnecessary and will cause
cleaner parts to prematurely wear.
•Regularly inspect the cleaner, cables and control unit. Do not
use if damaged or if any rough edges are visible on the
cleaner. This can cause damage to the pool.
•Cleaner filter cartridges or debris canister should be
thoroughly cleaned after each use or as often as needed to
ensure the cleaner’s optimal performance.
•Never store the cleaner with dirty filter cartridges or debris
canister.

READ BEFORE USING THE CLEANER

•Water temperature operation range: min 50°F / 10°C, max
95°F / 35°C. Maximum operating depth: 3 m (10 ft.)
•Operating the cleaner in temperatures above or below this
range may affect performance, and cause premature wear or
failure.
•Ambient air temperature: max 104°F / 40°C.
•To protect from permanent damage, if the cleaner is
exposed to extremely hot ambient temperature, the power-
supply will limit or suspend operation until its temperature is
down to an acceptable operating level. To limit overheating
and reduced performance, it is recommended to keep the
control unit out of direct sunlight and keep the cooling fan
unobstructed.

How To: Clean Debris from the Canister
8
Some water is kept inside the canister to enable the self cleaning and flushing function
for a true touch-free debris disposal. If desired most of the water can be removed by
tilting the canister toward the inlet check valve. Doing so may result in having to rinse
the canister after flushing the debris.
Grab the handle on the canister and lift upright to a 90
degree position.
Remove canister from cleaner
Lift the canister out of the cleaner by holding the
handle and lifting straight up.
Turn Power off and Lift handle
Step 1 Step 2
NOTE: Operating the cleaner with a full filter or debris canister will result in reduced performance,
limited wall climbing capability and limited debris pick up. Empty and clean the filter or canister,
when needed, to maintain optimal performance. Heavier debris such as sand, pebbles, and rocks
may require more frequent cleaning, since they have a greater effect on the weight and buoyancy
of the cleaner.
