1Important Safety Instructions
Congratulations on purchasing the Zodiac Robotic Cleaner. Please read through the entire manual before
installing your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must be installed and operated as specied.
WARNING
Failure to comply with the following warnings can increase risk of fire or electrocution which
can result in property damage and serious injury, including loss of life.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
• The cleaner is to be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian wiring
rules AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the swimming pool equipment
for which the cleaner will be an integral part. The cleaner is to be supplied through a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of 30mA.
• Do not enter pool while the robotic cleaner is in water.
• Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trim-
mers and other equipment.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the robotic cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn
or damaged. Contact Zodiac Customer Care Service 1300 763 021 immediately for proper servicing
and replacement of the damaged cord.
• Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical re-
placement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the robotic cleaner, control unit, power cord,
or oating cable.
• Use only the power supply provided with the product.
• NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO ELECTRIC SUPPLY; PROVIDE
A PROPERLY LOCATED APPROVED ELECTRICAL OUTLET. THE CONTROL UNIT SHOULD BE
PLACED NEAR THE APPROVED RECEPTACLE BOX.
PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part
of your pool’s operational system.
Page 4 Zodiac®EvoluX™iQ Robotic Pool Cleaner |Owner's Manual

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.
• The robotic cleaner must be installed and operated as specied.
• This product is intended for use with permanently-installed pools. Do not use with storable pools. A permanent-
ly-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled
for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and
reassembled to its original integrity.
• Clean the lter canister in the Evolux cleaner after each use.
• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 35˚ C (95˚ F) or below 13˚ C (55˚ F).
USE OF THE ZODIAC ROBOTIC CLEANER IN A VINYL LINER POOL
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by ob-
jects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, oats, fountains, chlorine dis-
pensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply
by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or
when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac Group Australia Pty. Ltd. is not responsible for, and
the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

Specications
General Specications
The general specications for the cleaner are as
follows:
Control box
supply voltage
220-240 VAC, 50 Hz; short
circuit-proof safety isolating
type
Supply voltage 30 V DC
Installed load 150 W max
Cable length
18 M or 21M depending on
model
Cleaner size
(WxDxH)
43 x 48 x 27 cm
Weight of Cleaner 9.5 kg
Packed weight 19 kg
Filtration
All-purpose lter canister
Cycle lengths Variable programming.
The cleaner is a double-insulated product. A
double-insulated electrical appliance is one which
has been designed in such a way that it does not
require a safety connection to ground. The basic
requirement for double-insulation is that no single
failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming
exposed so that it might cause an electric shock
and that this is achieved without relying on an
earthed (grounded) metal casing. This is achieved
by having two (2) layers of insulating material
surrounding live parts or by using reinforced
insulation. Therefore, devices having double-
insulated construction, such as this cleaner, do not
utilize a grounded (three-prong) cord/plug.

WARNING
Failure to comply with the following warnings
can increase risk of fire or electrocution
which can result in property damage and
serious injury, including loss of life.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Keep the control unit at least 3.5 m from the
edge of the pool.
• The cleaner is to be installed in accordance
with the relevant requirements of the Australian
wiring rules AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the in-
stallation instructions relating to the swimming
pool equipment for which the cleaner will be
an integral part. The cleaner is to be supplied
through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with
a rated residual operating current of 30mA.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect the
control unit.
• Do not allow anyone to swim while the cleaner
is in the pool.
• The control unit is water-resistant, not water-
proof. In order to prevent electrocution, never
submerge the control unit or leave exposed to
inclement weather.
1. Unscrew the protective cap for the oating
cable from the side of the control unit by
turning counter-clockwise.
2. Grip the notched end of the oating power
cable, insert into the control unit, and turn
clockwise to tighten. (Figure 10.)

4General Cleaner
Operation
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere
to the following guidelines:
• Remove the cleaner from the pool after the
cleaning cycle is completed.
• Store on the caddy out of direct sunlight or
inclement weather.
• Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the
oating cable. Always use the lift feature to
remove cleaner from the pool.
• Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out
of the pool. It becomes heavier when lled with
water.
• Always remove the cleaner from pool when super
chlorinating or adding acid.
• Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation
IMPORTANT
• Always make sure the cleaner head is fully
submerged before you begin operation.
• Clean the lter canister after each cleaning
cycle.
• Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a
permanent basis.
• At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner
from the pool.
• Start at the cleaner head and untangle any
coils in the cable before storing the cleaner.
The Evolux robotic cleaner includes a safety
feature that automatically stops the cleaner if it is
powered on but not submerged in water. For pools
equipped with a beach area, this safety feature is
programmed to drive the cleaner in reverse and
back into the pool when the impeller is out of the
water.
Zodiac recommends not exceeding 3 cleaning
cycles per week.
Install and Submerge the Cleaner
1. With the control box plugged into a power
outlet, spread the oating cable across the
pool deck until you reach the middle of the
pool length.
2. At the center point, submerge the cleaner
in the pool and hold in the vertical position
to release any air trapped inside. (Figure
12).

Figure 11. Submerge the Cleaner Vertically

3. Ensure the unit sinks to the bottom of the
pool and does not oat
(Figure 13).

Figure 12. Cleaner Sinking to the Bottom of the
Pool
4. Place only enough oating cable in the
water to reach the farthest end of your
pool from the central point. Spread out the
oating cable ensuring there are no kinks or
coils in the cable (Figure 13).
