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 6 hrs) before using it for
the first time.
WARNING!
Use only the original external adaptor and charging plug provided.
Make sure the robot and the charging port are clean and dry before set-up
and charging. (TIPS : Pry open the protective cover and use a cotton bud
to dry the charging port and charging pins)
The charging pins are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port
and around the pins could result in natural occurrence of stains (a
byproduct of chemical reaction between water and electric currents).
Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
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.
2. Pry open the protective cap. Align and attach the charging plug to the
charging port.
WARNING! Be sure not to invert the charging plug and ensure both the
charging plug and charging port are clean and dry before charging them.
TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry the charging port and pins. Plug the charging
cable of the external adaptor into the charging plug.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on
the external adaptor turns red once the charging begins. The indicator
light on the external adaptor will turn green when the robot is charged.

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
-Deformation, cracks, leaks
-Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the
power source and unplug the charging plug from the unit and external
adaptor.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
Note: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris
compartment increases the burden to the 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.

Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner,
discard them prior to using the robot. If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified
professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the
necessary repairs or perform a liner replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as
they may obstruct the movement of the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of
the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the
robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration
manual) at least 15 minutes prior to deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
-Make sure the robot is off.
-Ensure the charging plug is detached and the charging port is plugged with
the protective cap before the robot is deployed.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool
side (not the pool corner) and ensure it is facing outwards as you do so. Attach the hook of
the float to the handle of the swivel head. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note:
there are side notches at the top and bottom of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the
bottom).

15
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the
robot and the water level. NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect
performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the
cord around the stem (step 1 & 2). Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the
stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the bottom slot
and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to
facilitate discharge of air. Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic
behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the pool for a few minutes).
Power indicator light
(Green)
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is still submerged) – the indicator light
will turn on and activate the motor automatically (water level covering the sensors at
the top of the swivel head). Let the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first
forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along the pool wall
instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is
facing the pool wall.

16
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
-Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided)
and use it to retrieve the float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, locate the grip that is underneath the
base and indicated with the hand symbol (see diagram below) to facilitate retrieval from
the pool. Make sure to always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling
back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO
NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pins thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is
recommended to empty the debris compartment after the first 30min of operation,
or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of
its cycle.

17
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your
warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter
cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.
1. Place the cleaner on a flat surface. Pull one side clip outwards to lift one side of the
cover and repeat the steps on the other side to lift the entire top cover to expose the
filter cover and filter plate.
2. Detach the filter cover and filter plate and remove the debris from the compartment. It
is recommended to clean the filter cover net and draining filter plate with splashing
water. If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it carefully and
gently to avoid damaging it.
3. After cleaning, make sure that both draining filter plate and filter cover are in place and
the body top cover is correctly installed and secured by the side clips.
CAUTION!
- Replace a damaged filter cover immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged filter plate immediately with a new one before the next operation
- Replace a damaged flap immediately with a new one before the next operation.
