Warnings
Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or drowning.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
• Connect unit to receptacle protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or a Residual Current
Device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
• While the control unit is water resistant, it is not intended for any type of sustained contact with water.
Therefore, it should be installed at least 3.5 meters from the inside wall of your swimming pool. Never submerge the control unit.
• Be sure to follow all applicable local and national electrical and installation codes.
• The cleaner is for fixed installations only and to be used in conjunction with swimming pool equipment.
The cleaner is to be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian wiring rules
AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the swimming pool equipment for which the cleaner will be an integral part. The cleaner is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of 30mA.
• 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 cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn or damaged.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Double insulation—The cleaner utilizes a 'double-insulated' construction which means that it is designed such that it does not require a safety-connection to earth ground. For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the cleaner, control unit, power cord, or floating cable.
• NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet. The control unit should be placed near the outlet box.
PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING
• 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.
H03818-00.A3 EN – 2012-03 1
Warnings
Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.
• 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.
• The cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
• Turn the cleaner off before removing it from water, and do not operate out of water.
• Do not remove the cleaner from the pool for 15 minutes after the cleaning cycle has completed.
• Clean filter canister in the cleaner after each use.
• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 35° C or below 13° C.
USE OF THE CLEANER IN A VINYL LINER POOL
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by
EN 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 Group Australia Pty Ltd., is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

2. Use
2.1 Advice on use
• The cleaner must operate in pool water maintained at the following levels: Chlorine < 3 mg, pH between 6.8 and
7.6, temperature between 10°C and 35°C.
• Use your cleaner as often as possible. You will benefit from a pool that is always clean and the filter will not become clogged.
• If the pool is very dirty, especially during first use, remove larger pieces of debris using a net in order to optimise the cleaner's performance.
• Remove thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the cleaner from the water.
• Immerse the cleaner in the pool, before starting a cleaning cycle.
• Do not leave the cleaner in the water permanently.
• Stow your cleaner on its caddy as soon as possible after use, in order to avoid distorting the flexible edge at the opening to the filter.
• Never cover the control box while the cleaner is in operation
• Do not leave the control box in direct sunlight after having used the cleaner.
• If part of the pool is not properly cleaned, change the place where you immerse the cleaner until you find the best position of entry to achieve the best coverage.
• The cleaner's behaviour is strongly influenced if the cable is tangled. Spread the cable out in the sun from time to time so that it resumes its original shape.
• The behaviour of the cleaner can be influenced by the jet at the pool return outlets especially when the filter pump is operational. In this case we recommend that you start your cleaner when the filter pump is not operational.
Do not use your cleaner during shock chlorination!
2.2 Immersing the robot
• Submerge the cleaner in the pool and remove any air trapped inside by keeping the unit vertical (1).
• Ensure the unit sinks to the bottom of the pool (2).
• Spread out the floating cable over the pool, ensuring there are no kinks or coils in the cable (3).
H03818-00.A3 EN – 2012-03 5
2.3 Electrical connection
The cleaner control unit is water-resistant, not waterproof. In order to prevent electrocution, which could result in serious injury or death, never submerge the control unit.
• Place the control box at a distance of at least 3.5 meters from the pool edge and away from direct sunlight; it can either be placed on the ground or attached to the caddy.
• Connect the cleaner cable to the control box (1) and lock the connector by firmly tightening the ring by turning it clockwise (2).
Make sure the connector is sufficiently pushed into place, if this is not the case repeat operation.
• Connect the power cable. Only connect the control box to a power outlet protected by a 30 mA maximum ground fault circuit breaker
(if in doubt contact a qualified electrician). Ensure that the plug is permanently and easily accessible.
If you use an extension cable to connect your cleaner to the power supply, ensure the control box is placed no less than 3.5 meters from the pool edge.
