Installation
STEP 1. Prepare the pool
1. Turn off the pool filter pump.
2. Manually vacuum the pool, and make sure the pool filter and pump basket are clean.
3. Close the pool main drain line.
4. Aim the return line fittings down.
WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH. Ensure that your vacuum suction ttings installed in your pool for connection of your suction-side
pool cleaner are certied as being compliant with applicable safety standards such as IAPMO SPS 4. Do not
block the suction ttings with any part or your body. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to any
suction outlet ttings or hose ends in the pool/spa.
STEP 2. Assemble hose sections
Push and twist the connector on each hose section (g) until they lock into position with clicking sound. Hose
cuffs have three (3) connection positions. Any of the three (3) positions are sufficient for an air-tight seal.
OR
Connect to a skimmer:
The FlowKeeper™valve must always be used in single skimmer installations.The valve regulates flow
to ensure the pool pump and cleaner run properly.
If the pool has more than one skimmer, connect the hose to
the one closest to the pump.
The parts used to connect the hose and the sequence in which they are installed depends on the type of
skimmer (Figure 4).
1. Remove the skimmer basket.
2. Connect the valve cuff (c), FlowKeeper valve (b) and the 45 degree
elbow (f) together. Insert the FlowKeeper valve (b) into the 45 degree elbow with arrow pointing down.
3. Twist lock the male end of the hose (g) into the end of the 45 degree elbow (f).
4. Insert assembly into the skimmer suction port.
STEP 4. Determine correct hose length for your pool
1. Measure enough hose to reach the farthest point of the pool from the skimmer or dedicated suction line.
Remove any additional hose sections, as necessary. See (A) in Figure 5, below.
2. Next attach the leader hose at to the end where the cleaner head will be connected. See (B) in Figure 5,
below. The extra length allows the cleaner to reach the far point in the pool if a loop forms while in operation.
Figure 2
gg
STEP 3. Connect to a dedicated suction line
1. Twist lock the male end of the hose (g) into the large end
of the extended 45° elbow (d).
2. Connect elbow to the installed Safety Vac
wall fitting (sold separately).
3. Angle the elbow toward the water surface
(Figure 3).

STEP 6. Test for Proper Flow
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, make sure to turn off the suction pump that is responsible for the pool cleaner
operation. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to the open end of the hose.
The flow regulator valve is designed to consistently limit high flow of water through the cleaner. When flow is
correct, the cleaner components are less susceptible to damage and the life of the cleaner can be extended.
Wheel rotation speed is a good indicator of how water is flowing through the cleaner. By checking for proper
wheel rotation timing, you can verify the cleaner is operating at maximum efficiency.
Time wheel rotations:
1. Turn on the pool filter pump.
2. Obtain a stopwatch or timer.
3. Leaving the pump on and water flowing through the
cleaner, bring the cleaner to the surface of the water
and hold it fully submerged just below the water line.
4. Locate the yellow wheel speed indicator on the
rear right wheel (Figure 8).
STEP 5. Connect the Cleaner
1. Attach the flow regulator valve (e) to the leader
hose (h). Leader hose is the hose section with
foam float pre-attached (Figure 6).
2. Submerge the hose and flood with water (no
bubbles visible).
3. Submerge the cleaner and flood with water (no
bubbles visible).
4. Connect the hose to the cleaner head by pushing
the flow regulator valve (e) onto the cleaner
(Figure 7).
5. Allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of the pool.
6. Turn on the pool filter pump.
5. Note how many seconds it takes to complete 10 rotations. If the wheels change direction during the
rotation count, wait and restart your count.
If the count is within 20 - 25 seconds, no adjustment is necessary.
•
20 - 25 seconds --- Optimal Flow
STEP 7. Adjust flow to the cleaner (if necessary)
1. Determine if the flow to the cleaner is adequate or should be adjusted.
If the count is:
• 26 - 50 seconds --- Increase Flow (+) --- cleaner moving too slow and needs additional flow
• 10 - 19 seconds --- Decrease Flow (–) --- cleaner moving too fast and could be damaged
2. To increase or decrease flow, adjust the valves at the equipment pad
OR
adjust the FlowKeeper™ valve at the skimmer up or down (see Figure 9).

Operation and Maintenance
Daily Operation
The cleaner cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning all surfaces randomly throughout
the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool’s shape and available water flow. If the
cleaner is not climbing pool walls, ensure the flow is correct by checking the wheel speed. Also, ensure the pool
surface is not covered in algae as this slippery surface will affect traction.
During each coverage pattern cycle, the cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to the right and
left. The turbines underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing and stability as well as directing debris
into the cleaner mouth. (In MX8™Elite cleaners, the scrubbing brushes also make contact with the pool floor to
agitate and remove small stuck-on debris.)
MX8™/ MX8™Elite Cleaner Vacuum Modes
Your Zodiac cleaner is designed to operate with two vacuum options:
• Small debris (factory setting): For vacuuming smaller and heavy debris, such as sand, silt and small
stones. The pool cleaner is sent from the factory in this mode.
• Large debris: For vacuuming large debris, such as leaves.
It is recommended that you return the cleaner to small debris factory setting after large debris cleaning.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, make sure that the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and
the suction pump used for the cleaner is turned off prior to starting this operation.
Routine Maintenance
To ensure correct operation and extend the life of your cleaner:
1. Empty the pump basket regulary
For the cleaner to operate at highest efficiency, empty the pump basket regularly. The more debris in the pool,
the more often the pump basket should be cleared.
NOTE: Zodiac offers an in-line leaf canister which will trap solid debris before it enters the pump basket.
See your Zodiac dealer for details.
2. Remove Debris from Engine
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, make sure that the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and the
suction pump used for the cleaner is turned off prior to starting this operation.
1. Push the latch release button on the top of the cleaner (Figure 13).
2. Rotate the top assembly back until it clicks into an upward position.
3. Look into engine and remove debris that is present.
4. If needed, slowly push engine paddles forward and/or backwards to move stuck debris to an accessible
position then remove it. When moving the engine paddles, make sure the cleaner tracks are allowed to move
freely as they will turn as the engine paddles rotate.
5. Close engine top and ensure the latch clicks in place.

If you experience a problem with your MX cleaner, please follow the troubleshooting steps below to restore
performance. If further assistance is required, contact Zodiac Technical Support Department at [phone].
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Cleaner does not move or moves slowly. • Confirm that the main drain is closed.
• Check wheel speed to verify proper flow. Refer to section, "Check for
Proper Flow."
• Check to see if any interior teeth of the tracks are worn. If so, contact
your dealer for replacement tracks.
• Backwash filter and empty pump basket.
• Check for debris jammed in engine. Refer to section, “Remove Debris
from Engine”.
• (MX8™/MX8™Elite) Switch cleaner to large debris cleaning mode. Refer
to section, “MX8/MX8 Elite Cleaner Vacuum Modes”.
• Check for air in system. If water level in pump basket drops or you see
excessive air bubbles in the pump basket or coming from the return
lines, there is air in the system. Check hose connections, tighten all
fittings at pump and check o-ring at pump basket for wear.
• Check the flow regulator valve to make sure the it can move freely with
the water flow.
Cleaner pattern does not cover entire pool. • Confirm proper hose length for your pool. Refer to section, “Determine
Correct Hose Length."
• Count wheel rotations to verify proper flow. Refer to section, “Check for
Proper Flow”. Adjust flow if necessary.
• Ensure return line fittings are directed downward. Add a return diverter
if necessary.
• Make sure hose is not kinked or coiled. Lay in sun to straighten if
necessary.
• Verify hose float is positioned approximately 9" from cleaner head.
• (MX8/MX8 Elite) Observe cleaner for more than five (5) minutes and
ensure that each drive track is periodically reversing direction. If it is
not, contact dealer or service center for help.

Cleaner riding on its side. • Verify hose float is positioned approximately 9" from cleaner.
3. Backwash the pool filter
Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning
or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes to flush out the suction lines before
re-connecting the cleaner.
4. Adding chemicals
Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least four (4) hours when adding chemicals.
5. Replace brushes regularly (MX8™Elite)
To maintain optimal cleaning, it is recommended to replace MX8 Elite scrubbing brushes each season or when
significant wear is visible (Figure 12). To remove brushes, squeeze the yellow plastic clip between two fingers
and pull out. Type of pool surface may also increase rate of wear to brushes.
