SAFETY
- The unit must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30 mA
- A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI-USA) or a Residual Current Device (RCD-EUROPE) must be installed to
protect your electric outlet and prevent any possible electric shock.
- Keep the power supply out of standing water
- Position the power supply at least 3m/10ft away from the edge of the pool
- Do not enter the pool while the Pool Cleaner is working
- Unplug the power supply before servicing
- The unit must only be supplied by the provided power supply.
- The connection to the branch circuit should be consistent with the local and national wiring rules (electrical code).
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer’s service agent or a qualified and trained
person in order to avoid hazards.
CAUTIONS
Use the Robotic Cleaner in the following water conditions only:
Chlorine : 4 ppm max
pH : 7.0 - 7.8
NaCl : < 5000 ppm
Water temperature : 1 - 34°C / 34-93°F
This Robotic Cleaner cleans flat pool floor or with gentle slope of any finish, no matter how slippery.
A safety mode prevents the Robotic Cleaner to operate when outside of water.
The machine is also intended for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices
and rental businesses."

1.1 - Grab robotic cleaner by the front handle and place it vertically,
sitting on its rear bumpers on a flat surface .
1.2 - Insert your hands in each side of the filter canister and simul-
taneously press both tabs to release the canister. Pull the Canister
out and place it on a flat surface.
1.3 - Install the adequate filter in the canister.
1.4.1 - Place your fingers as indicated not higher than the
3rd rib to prevent risk of pinching.
1.4.4 - Make sure the cannister is properly installed,
it shouldn't be visible from the side view. Otherwise
repeat operations ensuring the canister is pushed to
the end before releasing the tabs.
1.4.2 - Arrows on
the cleaner and
on the canister
should match.
1.4.3 - Reposition the filter
canister by pressing simul-
taneously both tabs while
pushing the canister inside in
the robotic cleaner until the
stop, and then release the tabs
to lock it in place.
Before first use 1/3
Before the first use of the robotic cleaner, install the adequate filter in the filter canister. Two different filters are
provided:
Standard filtration (40µm): Fabric texture, recom-
mended on very dirty pools with debris such as soil,
algae, sand etc.
Thin filtration (25µm): « paper » texture, recommended
for regular cleaning and when there is only little debris.
!!! This type of filter is a consumable, do not dry in the
sun !!!

A simple press when the cleaner is OFF will start a 1h30
automatic cleaning cycle. The green LED above “A” icon
turns ON.
A simple press when the cleaner is ON will turn it OFF
after 5 sec.
A simple press when the cleaner is
ON will turn it OFF after 5 sec. This
mode disables automatically when
the cleaner turns off.
When the cleaner is OFF, press once on the power
button then within 5 sec, press again and maintain
for 15 sec until the LED at the right of the warning
icon turns OFF.
Plug the controller on an external timer and program
operating schedule. Press once on the power button
then within 5 sec press again and maintain for 6 sec until
le LED above the timer icon turns ON.
Unplug the controller from the external timer, wait more
than 9 sec to reset memory then plug the controller direc-
tly on the power socket, then within 5 sec press the power
button and maintain for 6 sec until the LED above the
timer icon turns OFF and the green LED above “A” turns
ON. The cleaner is now in AUTO mode.
This mode ensures a water flow in the pool when main filtration is off (i.e.
winterization), the cleaner changes position every 15 min during 4 hours.
Press once on the power button then within 5 sec press again and maintain for
10 sec until le LED above the filter icon turns ON.
This mode is meant for tiles pools or when the floor is covered
with algae to optimize pool coverage, prevent over-rotations
(>180°C) and cable kinks. Press once on the power button then
within 5 sec press again and maintain for 15 sec until the LED
at the right of the warning icon turns ON. Then use the cleaner
normally in Auto or Timer mode.

If the pool floor has transitions or if the main drain is too high, it is recommended to install the 4 wheels on the filter
canister to prevent the cleaner to get stuck.
2.1 – Install the 4 wheels provided in the accessories bag on the filter canister according the below
instructions. Screw (cross tip) from the outside in, nut inside (12 mm closed-end wrench). Tight
reasonably to prevent damaging the canister.
2.2 – Install the canister box following steps 1.4 then verify that the wheels are a couple of millime-
ters above the floor.

3.1 - Unwind the cable and stretch it out
completely so that it has no kinks.
3.2 - Attach the floating cable to the controller box by
inserting it with the notch on the connector lined- up with
the groove in the socket on the controller box.
3.3 - Position the power supply so that it is approximately
in the middle of the long side of the pool at a distance of
3m /10ft from the water.
Plug in the power supply and leave it in the OFF position.
It is recommended to protect it from rain and direct sun
exposure.
3.4 - Grab the robotic cleaner by the top handle. Put it into
the pool. Release the Robotic cleaner and let it sink to the
floor of the pool. Make sure that the floating cable is free
of any obstructions.
3.5 - Turn the Controller box ON.
The Robotic cleaner will now operate until the end of the
cleaning cycle (1h30 unless otherwise programmed thru
external timer mode).
To stop the robotic cleaner before the end of the cleaning
cycle, press the Power button for about one second. A red
LED will blink meaning the robotic cleaner is now turned
off.
3.6 - Using the floating cable, bring the
Robotic cleaner to the pool’s edge.
Using the handle, remove slowly the
Robotic Cleaner from the pool and hold
it vertically to let the water drain out.

DO NOT PULL THE ROBOTIC CLEANER
FROM THE POOL USING THE CABLE.

4.1 - Grab robotic cleaner by the front handle and place it
vertically, sitting on its rear bumpers on a flat surface.
4.2 - Insert your hands in each side of the filter canister
and simultaneously press both tabs to release the canis-
ter. Pull the Canister out and place it on a flat ground.
Debris is stored in the canister underneath the filter.
4.3 - Remove the filter.
4.5 - Clean canister with a hose.
4.4 - Clean the filter with a hose.
The robotic cleaner requires a clean filter to deliver optimum perfor-
mances as it only moves using jets from the impeller. The more clogged
the filter, the weaker the jets and the slower the robotic cleaner.
It is recommended to clean the robot after each cycle of use or when slowly slowing down

4.6 - If necessary (i.e. if fine debris pass through the
filter), clean the inside of the robotic cleaner with a
hose to remove dirt from the impeller and turret.

Cleaning of the robot cleaner 2/2

1/ Clean the filter (4.1 to 4.6).
Note: the Robotic cleaner requires a clean filter to deliver optimum
performances as it only moves using jets from the impeller. The more
clogged the filter, the weaker the jets and the slower the robotic clea-
ner.
2/ Check that filter and canister are well positioned (4.9). If the robo-
tic cleaner has operated with wrongly positioned filter or canister,
clean the inside of the robotic cleaner with a hose to remove dirt from
the impeller and turret (4.6).
The controller is ON but
cleaner does not move or
very slowly.
The robotic cleaner does
not turn or not enough to
change direction.
If the suggested solutions do not solve the problem, please contact our technical support team :
- by email [e-mail] or by phone [phone].
Troubleshooting
SYMPTOMS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Optimum rotation with empty filter and on a flat floor is within 60° and 120°.
Degree of rotation may vary depending to the grip of the wheels on the pool floor.
The cleaner has turned to default mode. It still work properly but it is
no longer driven by the obstacle detector but by a predefined path for
pool of 10x5m, therefore if your pool is smaller, the robotic cleaner
may stop for a few more seconds when he hits a wall before changing
direction.
Please contact Pentair Technical support by email to report the issue
[e-mail] or by phone [phone].
The orange LED is ON
continuously
Check that dirt does not block rotation of the turret by passing your
finger through the front vent to rotate the turret a few degrees. If you
can feel resistance, clean the turret (4.6) until you can feel the turret
turning free rotation.
Install the 4 wheels provided in the accessories bag on the filter box.
