Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Please read through the entire manual before installing your new robotic pool cleaner. The cleaner must be installed and operated as specified. WARNING Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or death.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
- Connect unit to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI receptacle should be provided by a qualified installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Powershould be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this product. Disconnect the cleaner and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
- Per the United States National Electrical Code
), keep the control box at least five (5) feet from the edge of the (pool/spa) water. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires a minimum distance of 3 m (10 ft) to be maintained between the pool edge and the control box. Neversubmerge the control box.
- Do not enter pool while the cleaner is in water.
- Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the robotic cleaner or control box if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Pool SystemsLLC. Technical Support immediately for proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.
- Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the robotic cleaner, control box, power cord, or floating cable.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children 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. CAUTION Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.
- The cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
- This product is intended for use with permanently-installed pools. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-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 filter canister in the cleaner after each use.
- Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 95° F (35° C) or below 55° F (13° C). USE OF THE ROBOTIC CLEANER IN A VINYL LINER POOL
- Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, 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 Pool Systems LLC is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.Page 5Polaris Robotic Pool Cleaner | Owner’s Manual ENGLISH
Section 2. Cleaner Specifications
Technical Specifications The general specifications for the cleaner are as follows: Control Box Supply Voltage 100-125 VAC, 60 Hz Supply Voltage 30 V DC Installed Load 150 W max The cleaner is a double-insulated product. Adouble-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, suchas this cleaner, do not utilize a grounded (three-prong) cord/plug.
Section 3. Getting Started
The packaging should contain the following items:
- Robotic cleaner and floating cable
3.2 Connect to a Power Source
WARNING Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or drowning.
requirements, keep the control box at least 5 ft. (1.5m) from the edge of the pool. CANADA: Per CEC requirements, keep the control box at least 3 m (10 ft) from the edge of the pool. Only connect the control box to a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a certified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI. Do not use an extension cord to connect the control box. Do not allow anyone to swim while the cleaner is in the pool. The control box is water-resistant, not waterproof. In order to prevent electrocution, never submerge the control box or leave exposed to inclement weather.Page 6ENGLISH Polaris Robotic Pool Cleaner | Owner’s Manual
