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.

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)

CABLE CARE
The cable may become twisted after a period of time in use. To correct this condition,
simply lock the moveable handle on the top of the cleaner in the opposite diagonal
direction. The pool cleaner will now travel in the opposite direction while cleaning your
pool and the cable will uncoil. Check the cable periodically for external damage. If the
problem persists, use the E-Z Swivel device.
Place the robot on the ground and unplug the cable
from the transformer. With one hand, holding the E-Z
Swivel, walk away from the robot, pulling the cable to
its full length. The core will rotate inside the cover
and in this way will untangle the cable.

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 TIPS:
IMPORTANT:
Please be sure to always keep your pool cleaner properly stored anywhere between

Troubleshooting Guide
11
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 grey 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 equiped)
motors. If one or the other is not functioning, send the unit to your service
center.
4. 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 detailssee 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.
5. 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 equiped) is locked diagonally across
the top of your unit's body.
e) Check that the Pump Motoris 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.
6. 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.
