IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, safety precautions should
always be followed, including:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
-READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS in this manual and on the
equipment. Failure to do so could result in severe or fatal injuries.
-Ensure that children do not attempt to access cleaner while it is operating.
Closely supervise children and pets at all times to ensure they do not play with
the cleaner. This is not a TOY. Children should be kept out of reach from this
robot and its accessories.
-Never allow children to operate this product.
-This robot is not intended for use by someone with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved.
-Make sure the robot is fully immersed in the water before operation. The
minimum water level required to operate the robot must reach above the swivel
head of the robot. Operating the robot when it is not immersed in the water
correctly could damage the unit and void the warranty as a result.
-Maximum operating depth in water is 3 meters (10 ft).
-Operating water temperature: 5˚C (41˚F) –35˚C (95˚F)
-Only use the detachable supply unit (external adaptor) provided with this robot
to charge the battery.
-Detachable supply unit (external adaptor)
-In the United States, the external adaptor must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This GFCI should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test
button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the
GFCI interrupts power to the external adaptor without the test button being
pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical
shock. Do not use the external adaptor. Disconnect the external adaptor and
contact the manufacturer for assistance.
-In Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the cleaner power supply unit must be
supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30 mA. Contact a qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a RCD.

charging with wet limbs and without shoes.
-You should not operate this robot when people/pets are present in the water.
-DO NOT use this robot without an intact filter in place, otherwise your warranty
will be voided as a result.
-Suction entrapment hazard: This robot generates suction. Do not allow hair,
body, and any loose parts of your clothing to make contact with the suction hole
of the robot during its operation.
-Never insert body parts, clothing and other objects into the openings and

The external adaptor and charging base should not be used outdoors,
nor should it be exposed to rain, humidity, any liquid or heat.
The transformer (or external adaptor) should be located outside zone 1
Keep the external adaptor and charging base out of reach of children.
Never use the external adaptor and charging base if any damage is
detected.
DO NOT handle the external adaptor and charging base with wet hands.
Keep the external adaptor disconnected from power when it is not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
-This robot is designed for underwater use only; it is not an all-purpose vacuum cleaner.
DO NOT attempt to use it to clean anything other than your pool.
-Use only the original accessories delivered with this product.
-DO NOT use this robot right after pool-shocking. It is recommended to first leave the pool
circulating for at least 24-48 hours.
-If you are planning on using the robot in a saltwater pool, make sure all salts are dissolved
before placing it into the water.
-It is not recommended to use this robot with another automatic cleaner/cleaner
simultaneously.
-Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may damage the robot and
filter.
-To avoid damaging the external adaptor and charging base, do not attempt to carry the
robot by the cord of external adaptor, or pull the cord to disconnect it from the power
source and charging base.
-Charge the robot indoors in a clean, dry area with good ventilation and away from
sunlight.
-DO NOT leave the robot charged for over 10 hours.
-If the robot will not be used for an extended period, detach it from the charging base and
use a damp cloth to clean and dry the robot and its accessories. Make sure to charge the
robot to about 30% to 50% of the battery capacity before it is stored. Store in a well-
ventilated area away from sunlight, heat, ignition sources, pool chemicals, and children.
Recharge the robot every three months.
-All actions concerning the disassembly of the swivel head (ie. battery disposal) can only
be carried by an authorized technician.
Above warnings and cautions are not intended to incorporate all possible
instances for risks and / or severe injuries. Pool / spa owners should always exercise
extra caution and common sense when utilizing the product.

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked
in through the suction mouth at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is
discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the nozzle propels the robot forward.
Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its swivel
head turns 180o, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a
generally straight pattern in one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot
vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in its compartment.

GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 5-6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
Use only the original external adaptor and charging base provided.
Make sure the robot and the charging port are clean and dry before set-up.
Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Slide the switch to the OFF position.
OFF
ON
2. Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug the socket of the charging base into the built-in charging
pins once they are aligned. WARNING! Be sure not to invert the charging base. Plug the
charging cable of the external adaptor
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. Once the robot begins charging, the
indicator light on the external adaptor will turn red.
The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the robot is charged. Charge
it for 5-6 hours for best performance.
RED light - Charging
GREEN light - Charged
Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following:
-Offensive or unusual odor
-Excessive heat

9
-Deformation, cracks, leaks
-Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and
unplug the charging cable from the charging base.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to unplug the charging base from the swivel head after charging is
complete.
Normally the robot can operate up to 120 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the compartment
increases the burden to motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life
and will gradually lose its capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will
gradually reduce after repeated charging and discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for
instructions regarding battery disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set-Up Before Use
Clip-on Rake/ Brush Assembly
TIPS: Press on the two hook ends to remove the rake/brush
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remove rake/brush after use. Otherwise, they may deform due to
constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
