IMPOR TANT!
Many factors influence the condition of your pool. The pool robotic
cleaner SPOT PRO 100 is a very passive product that does not affect
the life of your pool.
Be aware that over time, the deterioration, color loss, and
brittleness of any pool lining can be caused individually or in
combination by the age, chemical composition or imbalance of the
pool water, improper installation, sunlight, and other factors. All of
these factors can contribute to lining failure. Pool vacuum robots
SPOT PRO100 will not damage the pool lining quality.
Rather, on the contrary, it is more likely that the pool cover will
ultimately lead to wear on the cleaner.
Thus, the presence of such problems in your pool is not related to
the use or operation of a robotic vacuum cleaner SPOT PRO 100.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the repair or
replacement of structures or components of the customer’s pool.
The owner of the pool must assume full responsibility for the
condition and maintenance of the pool lining, water and poolside.

3. How to install your SPOT PRO 100?
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Consider the following recommendations for positioning the control box:
Please remove any objects on the surface (for example, swimming lines) or at
the bottom of the pool (cages, underwater games, etc.) so as not to block the
normal operation of the pool vacuum cleaner SPOT PRO 100.
Switch the pool vacuum cleaner SPOT PRO 100 on by following the instructions.
Be sure to keep hands and feet away from the mouving parts. Never place your
hands or feet underneath the pool vacuum cleaner robot SPOT PRO 100.
SPOT PRO 100 is suitable for the cleaning of pools up to 10x20m and operates
in AUTOMATIC MODE using "AQUA POSITIONING TECHNOLOGY", independently
choosing the most appropriate program, and in MANUAL MODE, controlled by
radio control.
SPOT PRO 100 can also clean the walls of your pool based on the bottom&wall
programme available. Very few cases make wall climbing impossible : when radius of
curvature is too narrow or when the wall tiles are slippery because of micro-
algae or other organic substances.
Since dirt and dust tend to deposit on the pool floor, wall climbing can sometimes be
considered as unnecessary: in this case this function is excluded from the SPOT
programming with the cleaner is working only on the pool bottom.
• Maintain a minimum distance of 3.5m between the control box and the edge
of the pool (norme NFC15/100) ;
• Protect from the rain;
• Protect from direct sunlight.
If the control box is plugged into an outlet outside, it must be approved for
outdoor use.
It is recommended to use a differential switch to connect the control box to the
wall socket.
Always place the control box above the water level of the basin and any nearby
basin or water reserve; place it at least 30 cm above the ground. It is forbidden to
place the control box on the ground.
Make sure that there are no objects such as stones, branches, tools or toys in
the bottom of the pool as they could prevent the completion of the program.
Objects on the bottom of the pool can get stuck in the pool vacuum cleaner
SPOT PRO 100 (you may need help removing the object before its program
resumes).

4. How to use your SPOT PRO 100?
A - Pool entry of the Robot
• The trolley and the control box of SPOT PRO 100 must be positioned in such a
way that the Robot can reach all the surfaces of the pool while the minimum
distance between the trolley and the edge of the pool is kept at 3.5m.
• Be careful to unroll the entire self-floating cable at the pool edge, avoiding
loops, before putting the unit into the water.
• Place the cable and robot into the water. Put the cleaner in the water before the
start, following the simple steps described in this manual.
• Ideal starting position is one third on the longest side (see drawing below ) :
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
• Do not operate the robot SPOT PRO 100 out of the water, as
this could damage the seals of pump and motors and
automatically cancel the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Do not allow swimming when your SPOT PRO 100 is in the
pool.
•Each time you place the cleaner in the water, check carefully
all moving parts and make sure that no foreign objects -
particularly in the turbine, ttracks, drive belts and brushes
- are preventing their proper functioning.
• Put the cleaner in the water holding it by the handle, then make sure that all air
inside comes out (turn it inside down if necessary). The cleaner will then move to the
pool bottom; the SPOT logo (that is, the cleaner front side) has to face the opposite
side. if you are using the special PVA brushes, wait until they are wet enough and
become soft (if the brushes are very dry or new it is sometimes necessary to wait for
several minutes).
• It is essential that the robot goes down by itself and lands flat on the bottom of
the pool.

• the full filter indication LED flashes

4. How to use your SPOT PRO 100?
The robot SPOT PRO 100 will start to move to reach the opposite side of the pool
collecting the pool size data. The cleaner cannot move in a straight line, this is not
due to a fault in the machine itself but to external stresses deriving from cable
movement, turbulence in pool water or obstacles, if any. The cleaner determines and
records the suitable working programme for the cleaning of the pool , and performs
the programme during the pre-set work time.
It is not possible to use the radio control during automatic mode. By pressing the
STOP button on the remote control to stop the cleaning cycle, you will stop the
robot . You can then use your SPOT PRO 100 in MANUAL mode.

this case then:
IMPORTANT!
There are certain pools where the shape, the bottom of the
pool (eg central island, a high level of the bottom mouth ...)
or environmental data such as a temperature (eg water at
10 ° C ...) or the chemical nature of water (eg. very high level
of salinity, a permanent proliferation of algae ...) make it
impossible to use your robot SPOT PRO 100 in
AUTOMATIC mode. Please contact us for more details.

6. Usage Tips and Troubleshooting
Your safety:
Your robot SPOT PRO 100 has been manufactured according to the most rigorous
standards. To ensure a safe operation, follow the instructions and the security rules
indicated in this technical manual.
• Only connect the Control Box to a power outlet with an earth connection and
protected by a residual current circuit-breaker of 30mA maximum.
• To avoid electric shocks never open the Control Box. Call to a qualified service
technician.
• Never attempt to repair a damaged power cable. Contact the After-Sales Service in
order to replace it by the original cable to avoid any injury.
Usage tips :
Use your vacuum cleaner as often as possible: you will enjoy a always clean pool and
the filter bag will clog up slower.
• Never put the robot in the pool if you cannot see the bottom of the pool or in the
presence of too much algae.
• Keep the original packing to store the cleaner in winter.
• Store the robot in a ventilated, frost-free room, not containing chemicals and acids.
• Do not use the cleaner to mix or suck chemical products on the pool bottom.
• Do not leave the cleaner – or even worse the RADIO CONTROL - under the sun.
• Take off or pull up wall ladders.
• All checks and modifications are to be carried out by authorized personnel only.
• THE RADIO CONTROL IS NOT WATER-RESISTANT, SO DO NOT PLACE OR DROP IT IN
THE WATER AND DO NOT LEAVE IT UNDER THE SUN (HEAT CAN DAMAGE THE
PART).
• For a better cleaning of the bottom of the pool, do not start working until the pool
has been empty for some time and the dirt is completely down on the floor.

18
ATTENTION !
Never start the machine out of water.
To stop the machine immediately, press the started program or
STOP on the radio control, or better, disconnect the power plug
from the mains.

6. Usage Tips and Troubleshooting
In case of problem :
A - The robot slides and doesn’t make good trajectories
There may be 3 reasons:
• The filter bag is full or dirty: just clean it.
• Although the water appears clear, there are microscopic algae in your basin that
are not visible to the naked eye, which make the bottom slippery and prevent the
robot to roll properly. So make a chlorine shock and slightly lower the pH (between
7 and 7.3). Do not leave the robot in the water during shock treatment.
• The robot has a problem with its drive, wheel or motor, and does not have
enough power to drive. => contact your reseller. Check the condition of belts and
tracks that can be cleaned or replaced.
B - The robot does not move
Check that the socket on which the control box is connected is well supplied.
• Check that you have :
-The fuse in the electrical cabinet is functional (accessible from the side of the control
box without having to open it).
-You have connected the robot to the control box before connecting the control box
to the mains
-Correctly connected the self-floating cable to the control box.
If the problem persists => contact your dealer.
C - The efficiency of the cleaning seems to be decreasing
• Check that the filter is not dirty or clogged.
• Make sure that the suction pump is working and that the turbine is not blocked by
an object
• Check the condition of your brushes and your wheels
• Check that the cable is not too twisted and does not make too many loops
during operation.
• It may happen that part of the pool is not cleaned properly after running your
robot's automatic program. If at the end of the working cycle the pool still needs
cleaning, restart the automatic programme but from the opposite wall. In this case,
you can also use the manuel mode to complete the cleaning, in a very short time.

In spite of careful study of the various paths to be followed by

This is not a machine failure; pull the cleaner out of the water
and roll the cable out, otherwise the cleaner cannot work
properly.
