  • This Cleaner is not suitable for use by children and people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or inexperienced people who are not familiar with the product. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance, even when it is not in operation.
  • Operators who perform maintenance must be fully conversant with its special features and safety regulations. Before using the cleaner, carefully read the operating manual and make sure you understand the instructions.
  • Only use original spare parts, do not change the design of the Cleaner, do not remove, bypass or tamper with the safety devices installed. The manufacturer shall not be held liable if non-original spare parts are used. Failure to comply with this requirement may seriously endanger the health and safety of people.
  • Ensure the cleaner is turned off before performing any adjustment or maintenance that the user is authorized to perform. Cleaning and maintenance must not be performed by children.
  • Do not use the cleaner if the top cover or brushes are damaged.
  • Never use and recharge the cleaner in explosive and/or flammable environments.
  • Only use the battery charger supplied by the manufacturer. Improper use may cause electric shocks, overheating or leakage of corrosive liquids from the battery.
  • If any liquid leaks, wash the cleaner with water/neutralizer; in case of contact with eyes, seek medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
  • If the battery charger is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized Fluidra dealer. DO NOT attempt to service the battery charger. A damaged cord can lead to contact with live parts.
  • The product contains magnets and components that emit electromagnetic fields. The magnets and electromagnetic fields can interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators and other medical devices. Keep a safe distance between the medical device and the product. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the medical device for specific information about it. If you think that the product is interfering with a pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other medical device, stop using the product starting from the distance at which you feel interference.
  • Do not smoke around, or allow the cleaner to be near sparks or flames. The batteries can generate gases which could possibly ignite.
  • If at any time you detect any physical damage to the cleaner chassis, such as swollen or cracked casing, STOP and do not continue discharging or charging the battery.
  • Never attempt to disassemble a battery pack. A battery can produce a short circuit causing severe burns. Avoid contact between any wires or metal items that could cause sparking and short circuit the battery. If a battery leak occurs, avoid any contact with the leaking fluids and place the cleaner in a plastic bag. Wear complete eye protection, gloves and protective clothing when disposing of cleaner. If leaking fluids come in contact with skin and clothing, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. If leaking fluids come in contact with eyes, do not rub eyes, immediately flush eyes with cool running water for at least 15 minutes and do not rub them. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
  • Do not use a battery operated appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
  • 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. Power should 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.

WARNING

  • Do not enter pool while the Polaris cleaner is in water.
  • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the Polaris robotic cleaner or charger if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Pool Systems LLC Technical Support immediately for proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.

  • There are a number of facilities that recycle Li-Ion batteries. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's web site, www.rbrc.org is an excellent source for finding a facility to handle these types of batteries. If you are not sure if your waste facility can handle Li-Ion batteries, contact them and verify if they are permitted or not.
  • Remember that before any type of disposal the batteries should be discharged completely. Tape the cleaner charging contacts with electrical tape and package so as to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
  • This cleaner contains a maintenance-free, rechargeable lithium ion battery pack, which must be disposed properly. Recycling is required.

Battery Charger

  • Use ONLY the battery charger provided with this appliance.
  • The battery charger must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault by a GFCI.

PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product. The appliance is not a toy for children.
- 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 Polaris cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
  • Clean the filter canister in the Polaris cleaner after each use.
  • Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 95^ (35°C) or below 55^ (13°C).

- 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.

USE OF THE POLARIS 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.
