Robotic Pool Cleaner

CAUTION: Do not plug the power supply into a grounded outlet or do not switch the pool cleaner "ON" if it is not fully immersed in water. Operating the cleaner out of water will cause severe damage immediately and will result in loss of warranty.

Allow the cleaner to remain in the pool for 15 to 20 minutes following the end of its cleaning cycle. This will allow the motors to cool adequately. Do not leave the cleaner in the pool all the time. Always remember to turn the power supply "OFF" and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool.

WARNING: The cleaner must not be used when people are in the water. For use with swimming pool only

Safety Note

• The unit must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA
• The connection to the branch circuit should be consistent with the local and national wiring rules (electrical code).
• Mishandling of the unit can result in leakage of lubricants.
• 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.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING: 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.

Maintenance and adjustment

Adjusting the suction valve:

In order to increase suction power, the valves located underneath your cleaner can be adjusted by pulling out the rim of the valve.

Before lowering the rim of the valve, make sure there is enough clearance and the unit movements won't be obstructed by any obstacles on the swimming pool floor or walls, such as (drains, steps, etc.)

1) To pull out the rim rotate counterclockwise using a screwdriver (Fig. A)

2) To retract the rim rotate clockwise using a screwdriver (Fig. B)

IMPORTANT TIPS:

• Shut off and unplug the power supply every time you remove the cleaner from the water.
  • Clean the filter bag after every cycle.
  • Periodically straighten out the floating cable.
• Replace worn brushes to ensure maximum cleaning performance
  Save your cleaner's packaging for off-season storage or for shipping the unit to your dealer if service is required.
• Leave your pool cleaner in the water for 15 to 20 minutes after every cleaning cycle.
• Do not leave your cleaner in direct sunlight when not in use.
• Never leave the power supply in direct sunlight and avoid leaving it in the rain.
• Occasionally, you should rinse your cleaner in clean, fresh water. This will lengthen the service life of the drive belts, drive tracks and scrubbing brushes.
• Clean the propeller once a month

CLIMBING UNITS WITH FLOATING HANDLE ONLY

• If your unit has floating handle, reverse the diagonal position after every cleaning cycle to avoid tangling the cable.
• Make sure that your pool cleaner positions itself properly on the wall. The machine handle must rest parallel to the water line upon reaching the surface of the water.

IMPORTANT:

Please be sure to always keep your pool cleaner properly stored anywhere between 10 to 40 degrees Celsius (50 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). This will keep the motors, plastics and seals protected. Failure to comply will result in loss of warranty. Robot can be used in water with temperatures ranging from 13^ to 35^ (55°F to 95^ ). However, the recommended optimal temperature is between 22^ and 32^ (72°F and 90^ )

IMPORTANT:

The transformer cord can only be replaced with the aid of special tools, normally available only to authorized dealers, distributors and service centers.

Troubleshooting Guide

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CALLING YOUR SERVICE CENTER

Before troubleshooting, the pool cleaner must be disconnected from the power supply and the power supply must be unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent damage to the unit and possible personal injury.

1. Unit does not pump water or move:

a) Check to see if electric outlet has power.
b) Check if transformer is plugged into a grounded outlet and the blue cable assembly is plugged into the transformer.*
c) Switch the power supply "OFF" and "ON" a few times. Allow 45 seconds between "ON" and "OFF".
d) Check for and remove any debris such as hair, string, or leaves that may be obstructing the free movement of the Drive Tracks.

1. Unit does not pump water at all, or pumps slowly but moves:

a) Check to see if propeller is seized due to accumulation of hair or debris on the propellers. Remove the top screws on each outlet top and clean the propeller. When reassembling the top cover, do not overtighten the screws.
b) Check to see if the filter bags are thoroughly clean. Clean as necessary.
c) If a and b are negative, check the pump motors. If they are not functioning send the unit to your service center.

1. Unit does not move but does pump water:

a) Check to see if forward/reverse motion is obstructed by foreign matter; hair, debris, etc. on drive tracks or there is an entanglement with the power cord.
b) Check for loose drive motor (3) connections.
c) If a, and b are negative, check the Master motor (and Slave motor if equipped) motors. If one or the other is not functioning, send the unit to your service center.

1. Unit does not pick up dirt and debris:

a) Check 2a and 2b of this guide.
b) Check the Intake Valve Flaps on the underside of your unit (see image bellow). The Flaps should move freely to open and close. Clean and free the Valve Flaps if necessary.
c) Check the height of the intake rim. If necessary, adjust the height with a screw driver (for details see previous page)

*The transformer cord can only be replaced with the aid of special purpose tools normally available only to authorized dealers, distributors and service centers.

1. Unit does not seem to cover the entire pool:

a) Most likely a thorough cleaning of the filter bags is needed.
b) Check to see that the floating cable is properly spread out and is untangled.
c) Allow the unit to run in the pool for the entire cleaning cycle.
d) Make sure that the Floating Handle (if equipped) is locked diagonally across the top of your unit's body.
e) Check that the Pump Motor is operating. Please refer to the section 2 of this guide
f) After following all of the above, if there is still a problem, call your dealer for specific additional assistance.

1. Debris Comes Out Of The Unit When Removing It From Pool

(Top Access Lid Does Not Close Properly)

a) Lock Release - Check that the Lock release mechanism is not damaged. The lid edges should be aligned with the unit's body. Make sure the lid is engaged into the lock mechanism and snaps into place when inserted.
b) Intake Valves - Check that the intake valve flaps on the underside of your unit (see image bellow) move freely to open and close. Clean flaps if necessary.
