NITRO NC51 ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER OPERATION MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the most technologically advanced automatic pool vacuum available today. The Nitro is easy to use and will make maintaining your
pool affordable and effortless. Following these simple directions will insure that the Nitro will quickly and efficiently clean your pool today and for many years to come.
INSTALLATION
• Place the power supply in an area that will allow the cleaner to cover all areas of the pool.
• Be sure to only plug the power supply into a GFI (ground fault interrupter) or ELI (earth leak interrupter) protected electrical outlet.
• Look at the power supply and check that the power supply switch is in the off position.
• Plug the power supply into the protected outlet.
• Plug in the connector from the cleaner into the power supply. The connector is keyed so that it will only plug into the power supply one way. ake sure that the plug is pushed all the
way onto the power supply. Slide the connector lock (strain relief) onto the connector and turn the connector lock clockwise until it is snug.
DO NOT RUN THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER.
OPERATING THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER WILL DAMAGE THE MOTORS AND VOID THE WARRANT
• Place the cleaner into the pool and if needed rock the cleaner side to side to release any trapped air. The cleaner will sink to the bottom of the pool.
• Put enough of the blue cord into the water to assure that the cleaner can easily reach all areas of the pool. (Do not place ALL of the blue cord into the pool).
• Push the power switch down away from the handle to start the 3 Hour auto cleaning program. A red Led should be lit.
• The cleaner will begin its cleaning program.
• The cleaner will automatically shut itself down after three hours.
• To turn unit off press small off switch in the middle of the switch. The led will turn off
• If a second cleaning is required or the unit is accidentally shut off, you should wait
one minute before switching the unit on again.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During normal operation, the cleaner will appear to shut off for a few seconds, raise the front wheels off the
pool bottom and move either left or right or turn for an undetermined amount of time. This is normal and has been preprogrammed
into the unit to assure the quickest and most efficient cleaning of your pool.
For “Rapid Clean” place robot into the pool. Push the power switch up towards the transformer
handle and a green led will light. The cleaner will quick clean the pool and turn off in 1 hour.
This unit has been designed to clean all areas of your pool. It will climb the walls, and occasionally break the surface. In the process
of climbing the wall it may stay on the surface and continue to operate from several seconds to a few minutes. This is normal
operation procedure and the cleaner will eventually make its way to the bottom to continue its cleaning. Since most of the dirt is
concentrated on the floor of the pool, the cleaner will spend the majority of its time on the floor.

can lead to improper cleaning coverage of your pool.

• Place the cleaner on the ground as shown below.
• Be sure to use a clear area that will allow the cord to stretch out in a straight line.
• Pull the cable so it is off the ground
• Using your fingers, roll the cable in the opposite direction that it is coiled in.
• When straight, wrap cable for storage as shown below.
STORING THE CABLE
• Loosely loop the cable as shown below.
Hold the cord close to the cleaner.
ake a roughly two foot loop with
the cord as shown.
When making loop, roll the cable
slightly in a counter clockwise
manner to maintain form. DO NOT
WRAP THE CORD TIGHTLY AROUND
OBJECTS.
When cable is properly wrapped
place it on the caddy provided.
WINTER STORAGE
If temperatures will regularly be below 45 degrees Fahrenheit or 5 degrees Celsius, the
cleaner and power supply should be stored indoors.

Mode d'emploi du nettoyeur automatique pour piscines Nitro NC51
Félicitations pour votre achat de l'aspirateur de piscine automatique le plus perfectionné du marché sur le plan technique. Le Nitro est facile à utiliser et vous permet de nettoyer votre piscine
à moindre coût et sans efforts. En suivant ce mode d'emploi simple, vous pourrez nettoyer votre piscine rapidement et de façon efficace à l'aide du Nitro dès aujourd'hui et pour de
nombreuses années à venir.
Installation
• Placez le bloc d'alimentation électrique dans une zone permettant à la personne utilisant l'aspirateur d'accéder à l'intégralité de la piscine.
• Assurez-vous de brancher le bloc d'alimentation dans une prise de courant de sécurité uniquement, comme un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFI) ou un relais de mise à la terre (ELI).
• Observez le bloc d'alimentation pour vous assurer que l'interrupteur est en position « off ».
• Branchez le bloc d'alimentation dans la prise protégée.
• Branchez le connecteur du nettoyeur dans le bloc d'alimentation. Le connecteur est claveté et pourra donc être branché au bloc d'alimentation d'une seule façon. Assurez-vous que la prise
est correctement enfoncée dans le bloc d'alimentation. Faites glisser la serrure du connecteur (collier de serrage) sur le connecteur et tournez-la dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre
jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit serrée.
NE FAITES PAS FONCTIONNER LE NETTO EUR HORS DE L'EAU.
FAIRE FONCTIONNER LE NETTO EUR HORS DE L'EAU ABÎME LES MOTEURS ET ANNULE LA GARANTIE
• Placez le nettoyeur dans la piscine et, en cas de besoin, balancez-le d'un côté à l'autre pour libérer l'air pouvant être emprisonné à l'intérieur. Le nettoyeur s'enfoncera jusqu'au fond
de la piscine.
• Laissez glisser une longueur suffisante du cordon bleu dans l'eau pour vous assurer que le nettoyeur atteint facilement toute la surface de la piscine.
• ettre l’interrupteur en position basse pour commencer le cycle de travail de 3 heures de l’appareil. Un voyant rouge doit s’allumer.
• Le nettoyeur commence alors son programme de nettoyage.
• Il s'éteint automatiquement au bout de trois heures.
• Pour arrêter l’appareil, mettre l’interrupteur en position centrale. Le voyant s’éteint.
• Si un deuxième nettoyage s'avère nécessaire, ou si l'appareil s'est malencontreusement éteint,
vous devez attendre une minute avant de rallumer l'unité.
REMARQUE IMPORTANTE :
Dans des conditions normales de fonctionnement, le nettoyeur semble s'éteindre pendant quelques secondes, soulève ses roulettes avant du fond de la piscine et
se déplace soit vers la gauche, soit vers la droite, ou bien il tourne sur lui-même pendant un certain temps. Cette procédure normale a été programmée pour
garantir le nettoyage le plus rapide et le plus efficace de votre piscine.
Cet appareil a été conçu pour nettoyer toutes les zones de votre piscine. Il montera aux parois, et atteindra la surface de temps en temps. Il est possible qu’une
