of the pool avoiding direct exposure to the sun.
- Fix to the ground using the fixing dowels supplied, and lock
the trolley foot into them to immobilise the trolley (diagram 3).

1. Unpacking
•The following items should be in the packaging:
- your CYBERNAUT™robot
- its transport trolley including the control box
•Make sure your appliance has not been damaged in transit (impact, broken parts etc.).
If you notice the slightest defect, however minor, do not hesitate to contact
your retailer before using your CYBERNAUT™.
ASSEMBLING THE TRANSPORT TROLLEY
•Before removing the appliance from the box:
- Loosen the round black knobs on the transport trolley as far as
they will go (they should pull out by approximately 1 cm);
- Fold out the transport trolley (diagram 1);
- Retighten the black knobs on the trolley (diagram 2);
•Take the robot out of the box, then the trolley;
- Make sure the fasteners used to support the trolley are towards
the rear when winding the cable (diagram 2).

1. Immersing the robot
IMPORTANT: Do not allow any bathing while your CYBERNAUT ™is in the pool...
Preferably work from one corner of the shallow end of your pool while
carrying out the following steps.
STEP 1
Push the robot down into the
water and evacuate the air it
contains by turning it over
(diagram 6).
STEP 2
Use your hands to press on the
foam brushes to push out the air
and take in water (diagram 7).
This procedure is not required
with rubber brushes.
STEP 3
It is essential that the appliance goes down by itself and rests on the bottom of the pool.
We advise you to place the robot in a corner at the shallow end and position it so that it
will start moving across the width of the pool. The cable should be positioned towards the
middle of the pool (diagram 8).

- Remove the 2 plastic locking clips to take off the bag (diagram 13).
Empty the bag and clean it under running water or in slightly soapy water if necessary.
If using soap, rinse thoroughly taking care to turn it over. Do not wring to dry it,
or put it in the washing machine.
- Allow to dry away from the robot.
- Also rinse the filter holder plate and remove any debris caught under the flaps.
- Replace the filter bag, with the seam over a small width of the filter holder and the corners
at the corners of the stainless steel rods (Figure 14).
Replace the plastic locking clips.
- Replace the filter holder and click shut.
ADVICE
•The robot should be cleaned regularly in clean or slightly soapy water,
but never with any solvent such as trichlorethylene. Rinse thoroughly.
•Before putting your robot into winter storage, rinse it thoroughly and let it dry in a dry
atmosphere.
•None of the mechanical parts accessible to the user requires greasing.
•Use your robot as often as possible. This will give you the maximum benefit from a pool
that is always clean and a filter bag that clogs less quickly.
•Part of the pool may occasionally not be absolutely clean after running your robot on
the automatic program. If this occurs you can use the manual mode to complete
the cleaning in very little time.

3. Cleaning and maintenance
CLEANING THE FILTER BAG
We advise you to clean the filter bag after completion of every cycle.
- Switch off the robot at the mains electricity
supply and disconnect the control box from the mains.
- Take the robot out of the water using the lifting cord
(diagram 9). Place the robot upside-down on the ground
to access the filter holder plate located on the underside
of the robot, taking care not rest the robot on its floats
(diagram 10).
- Unlock the four hooks holding the plate (diagram 11).
Remove it, holding it upside down so that the debris stays in the bag (diagram 12).

Hooks

•Your robot is equipped with rubber brushes.
We recommend that you change the brushes every two years.
- Turn the robot upside down, taking care not to rest it on the float arms (Figure 16).
- Separate the edges of the rubber brush and undo the holding strips, then remove the worn
brush (Zoom C).
- Position the new brushes with the little spikes outside. Thread the part without a strip bet-
ween the green fender and the brush holder (the strips have to be correctly positioned for
the robot to work properly) (Zoom D)
- Thread each strip into the notch provided and gently feed it through so that the heel comes
out at the other side of the notch.
Use a pair of scissors to cut the strips off less than 5 mm from the heel so that they are no
higher than the little spikes (Figure 17).
29
REPLACING BRUSHES
•Your robot is equipped with foam pads.
We recommend that you change the foam pads at the end of each season.
It is essential to replace them if their surface is smooth or worn.
- Turn the robot upside down, taking care not to rest it on the float arms (Figure 15).
- Spread the foam pads to reveal the foam pad fixing clips, then lift up the clips (using a lever
if necessary) and remove them, taking care not to open them out too far (Zoom A).
- Remove the worn foam pad and replace it with a new one, with the smooth side inwards
(Zoom B).
- With the edges of the foam pads upwards, position all the foam pad fixing clips in the
notches in the pads without actually clipping them in place.
- With the clips positioned in the notches, open them out slightly and push them in around
the pad holder such that the mark in the centre of the clips is located at the join in the pad.
- Retighten the pads, making sure the mark stays in the same place.

Your CYBERNAUT™ has been manufactured
in compliance with the strictest standards.
To get the most out of your appliance in complete
safety, treat your appliance as follows:
•Only connect the control box to an earthed electrical socket fitted with a
maximum 30 mA residual current protection device.
•Take sure the control box is at least 3.5 metres from the edge of the pool
and do not expose it to direct sunlight.
•Never let anyone bathe in your pool while your robot is in the pool.
If the transport trolley should accidentally fall into the water, it is imperative
that you disconnect it from the electricity supply before rescuing the trolley.
•To prevent any risk of electric shock, never open the electronic control box.
Call in a qualified technician.
•Never try to repair the mains electricity cable. Contact the After Sales Service
to have it replaced with a genuine spare part to prevent hazard.
1. The robot does not run along
the bottom of the pool properly.
There is air inside the body of the appliance. Repeat the initial immersion
procedure making sure you carry out the steps described earlier point by point.
Turn the robot right over keeping it immersed so the air trapped inside the body escapes.
Press the foam pads well to push out the air.
2. The robot does not mount or
no longer mounts the sides.
There can be 2 reasons for this:
- The filter bag is full or clogged. Simply clean it.
- Although the water looks clear, there are microscopic algae in your pool not visible
to the naked eye, which are making the sides slippery and preventing the robot
from climbing. Carry out a chlorine shock-treatment and reduce the pH slightly.
Never leave the robot in the water during a chlorine shock-treatment.
N.B. : failure to climb the sides will not have a major effect on cleaning which is
primarily done over the bottom of the pool. Since the CYBERNAUT™can turn,
it will still clean the whole of the bottom surface.
3. The robot does not move at all.
Make sure there is electricity being supplied to the socket to which the control box is connected.
Make sure you have:
- set the "On(I)/Off(O)" switch to On (I),
- pressed the "start" button,
If you have selected manual mode, check that the button controlling the direction
of movement is set to forward or back and is not in the middle position.
If the problem persists, contact your retailer.
4. Cleaning efficiency seems to have reduced.
Check that the foam pads have not become smooth.
As a rule, it is advisable to replace the foam pads after one season's use.
