Dear Hayward Robotic Cleaner Owner:
Thank you for choosing Hayward. In order to achieve optimal performance, please read and follow
these steps:
1.
Cleaner filter cartridges should be thoroughly cleaned after each use or as often as needed to ensure
cleaner's optimal performance. (see the Maintenance section for filter cleaning instructions)
2.
Before using your cleaner and especially when opening the pool for the first time remove larger
items such as toys, large leaves, or other debris from the pool that may diminish the cleaner's
performance. Clean filter frequently when pool is excessively dirty.
3.
For the first use, run cleaner for the full cycle (3 hours) to ensure a clean pool and give you a full
understanding of the cleaner's capabilities. Subsequent cleaning may only require the quick clean
cycle - 90 minutes (if so equipped).
4.
In the Quick Clean Cycle the cleaner may periodically go to the wall but not necessarily climb to the
vertical position. This is a normal part of the programmed cycle.
5.
Cleaner may stop in the middle of the pool and reverse during cleaning cycle. This is a normal part of
the programmed cycle.
6.
DO NOT start cleaner out of the water. The unit
will automatically shut off, but it is best to unplug
the power cord when unit completes cleaning.
7.
Only plug into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 120 (+/-10%) volts AC outlet.
8.
Place the cleaner power supply so that it is at a minimum distance of 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) from the
pool edge. The length of the standard cleaner cable is 60 feet (18.29 meters).
9.
Depending on the size and shape of your pool the entire length of the floating cable may not be
necessary. The floating cable should reach from the cleaner power supply to the furthest point in the
pool, plus the depth at the deep end of the pool. To reduce cable tangling any excess cable should be
coiled and placed next to the power supply.
WARNING - READ THESE IMPORTANT
OPERATING TIPS BEFORE USING YOUR UNIT!

Power Failure Feature
If the power fails during a cleaning cycle or in between scheduled cleanings, the
power supply will automatically start a new cleaning cycle when power is restored.
Note: A new cleaning cycle will not be started if there was less than one whole
cleaning cycle remaining in the selected schedule.
CAUTION: The power failure feature cannot distinguish a power failure from
an unplugged power supply. This may cause the cleaner to initiate a cleaning cycle
automatically when the power supply is plugged in.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician according to
local electrical standard (see page 23).

HAYWARD only warranties the quality, performance and safety of its products when assembled with genuine
Hayward manufactured parts. Use of non-genuine Hayward manufactured parts will void all warranty.
Keep the Power Supply Control Out of Direct Sunlight. Store the Cleaner and Power Supply in a
shaded area.
Remove the cleaner from the pool, empty the filter bucket and clean filters after each use. Keeping the
cleaner permanently in the pool may result in additional service requirements. (see maintenance section for
cleaning instructions)
Optimum operating water temperature range for the cleaner is 50ºF - 100ºF (10ºC - 35ºC).
DO NOT ENTER THE SWIMMING POOL WHEN THE CLEANER IS OPERATING OR IN THE POOL.
CAUTION: When removing cleaner from the pool do NOT reel it around your arm. The cleaner is heavy
and may cause someone to lose their balance and fall into the pool. To avoid falling into the pool, gently
reel the cable in hand-over-hand from the shallow end of the pool by gently pulling the cable until the
cleaner reaches the surface. Then lift it out of the water using the handle, NOT the cable.
To better protect the cleaner from damage, it will sense when being asked to turn on when not safely in
water, or leaves the water during operation.op
Out of Water Sensor
Out of Water Start Up
Out of water during operation refers to the cleaner leaving or being removed from the water while in normal
operation cycle. If the cleaner senses that it is no longer in the water, the unit will attempt to
re-enter the water by reversing its current direction. If the cleaner is not submerged within ninety (90) seconds
of leaving the water the unit will power itself down. To reset the cycle, switch off the power supply for 10
seconds and restart.
Out of Water Operation
Out of water at start up means that the cleaner has been powered on before the cleaner has been placed
in the water. If the cleaner senses that it is not in the water the unit will power itself down. To reset the
cycle, switch off the power supply for 10 seconds and restart.

Spray water using a garden hose around the float to remove any sand or debris.
Remove any debris that has accumulated between the tracks and wheels.
Storage
When unit is out of the water, store the cleaner in a dry, shady location at temperatures between
40F - 115F (4°C-46°C).
Cable Care
With continued use, the cable may become coiled (like a telephone cord). To correct this, stretching
the cord out in the sun, the sun's heat will reduce cord twisting.
IMPORTANT: The cable should be checked periodically for any external damage.

16
IMPORTANT TIPS
Do not drop or throw the cleaner into pool. Place cleaner away from the pool wall but do not throw the
cleaner in the pool.
Cleaning the filter cartridges after every use maximizes the unit's performance.
Replace worn brushes or foam rollers.
To avoid clogging the cleaner's filter elements, be sure all chemical powders are fully dissolved
before operating the cleaner.
In a pool with high calcium content, more frequent cleaning of the filter cartridges is recommended.
Save the original carton for extended storage or shipping requirements should your cleaner require
service by a Hayward Authorized Service Center.
The sealed Motor Unit and the Power Supply contain no user-serviceable parts. Opening them will
automatically VOID your warranty.
Remove items such as thermometer, toys and the like from the pool before operating the unit. Such
items can jam the cleaner and cause damage to the unit and/or your pool.
The filter bucket is designed to be cleaned with the filters installed for normal clean up. For deep
cleaning, the user can remove each filter cartridge and clean separately.
During the normal operating cycle of the cleaner, the handle side of the unit will rise from the pool
bottom to allow the unit to clear obstacles, such as elevated main drains and stair steps.
For cleaners used in areas that have a lot of sand the cleaner may need to be rinsed with water at all
flapper (filter debris container's flapper is at intake port) areas, and may need rinsing at the dome push
button to allow free operation.

All power supply
indicators flash,
cleaner does not
operate
A problem was detected with the power supply. The
flash pattern identifies the type of problem.
*1 flash every 3 seconds: Overcurrent Detection: This may
happen if debris becomes lodged in the impeller or drivetrain of the
cleaner. A damaged cleaner cable is also a potential cause of this
issue. This fault can be cleared by unplugging the power supply
from the utility power for at least 1 minute.
*2 flashes every 3 seconds: Over Temperature Detection. The
failure will automatically reset and a cleaning cycle will commence
when the power supply cools down. Place the power supply upright
with the heatsink away from a wall or surface. Keep the power
supply out of direct sunlight.
*3 flashes every 3 seconds: Unplug the power supply from the
utility power. Wait at least 1 minute to reset the fault. Make sure
the cleaner cord is not plugged into the power supply. Plug the
power supply power cord into the electrical outlet. Set the power
supply to start a cleaning cycle. If this fault repeats, the problem is
with the power supply. Otherwise, there is a problem with the
cleaner or the cleaner cord.

Troubleshooting - Power Supply:

18
TROUBLESHOOTING - Cleaner
If the cleaner fails to pick up fine or heavy debris:
It may be clogged. Clean the filter. A filter cleaning solution can be purchased from your
Hayward retail dealer to remove excessive dirt and/or sand.
If the cleaner starts working momentarily but then stops working:
Impeller may be clogged or jammed with debris,
check and clean if necessary following the
instructions in the maintenance section.
Cleaner performs by both timing and a pool wall detection sensor, whichever comes first.
There are 3 intake ports located at bottom
of filter bucket and near the brush roller,
check for debris and clean if necessary.
Cleaner may get stuck if a high main drain is installed in the pool. Cleaner may remain lodged on the
drain for a short period of time, but will eventually free itself by virtue of the cleaner's embedded
program.
Cleaner performance: Confusion may exist over the perception of how the cleaner operates at
different times during each cycle. It is important to judge the performance of the cleaner by
observing improved pool cleanliness after the cleaner has run a complete cleaning cycle.
If a cleaner has poor coverage of the pool in one cycle or only covers a small area, check the filter and
clean if necessary and make sure the unit is not getting caught on drains, in-floor cleaning heads or
toys. The user may try starting the cleaner in different locations to find the optimum cleaning location.
If debris falls from cleaner while removing from pool, it may be caused by filter overload, increase
frequency of filter cleaning. Assure that there is no large debris blocking any of the three intakes. Large
debris must be removed from the pool before using machine. If drain flaps are out of place or stuck by
sand or leaves in the open position, the flaps can be snapped back into place, after cleaning the area.
If the flotation cord gets twisted which can be caused by the cleaner getting stuck on large objects such
as rocks, toys or main drains, it can be straightened by laying the flotation cord at full length (if possible)
in the sun; heat from the sun will help reduce the cord twisting.
If a high level of debris is visible through the dome windows (if so equipped), remove cleaner quickly
from the water to reduce the chance of the debris escaping the filter bucket and reentering the pool.

Hayward manufactured parts. Use of non-genuine Hayward manufactured parts will void all warranty.
Brush roller or drive tracks may be stuck, check for debris and clean if necessary.
