Before installing your cleaner, review and

understand all warnings and safety informa-

tion on the inside front cover of this manual.

Pre-installation check list

Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool: 

Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage
from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any dam-
age is found, have a qualified pool professional make
all necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots,
etc., under the liner, remove them before installing the
cleaner.

Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool
that is partially or completely tiled:

Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.

Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:

Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including back-
washing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean
system is necessary for proper cleaner operation and
coverage.

Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water: 

Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and
the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to
the filtration system (whether through a skimmer or
dedicated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage
the pump through dry running and overheating.

Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner cov-
erage:

The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in
approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed,
depending on the pool size.

The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean
steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It
was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new
pool or when opening your pool for the season.

Suction entrapment, injury, and drown-

ing hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction
port (“vac port”) for vacuuming or for an automatic
pool cleaner, it must be covered when not in use.
Purchase a spring loaded safety cover from your local
pool store and install it on the suction port to prevent
entrapment and injury.
