Automatic Pool Cleaner Operating Tips

1. Plug-in Your automatic pool cleaner when it is in the water.

2. NEVER plug-in your robot if it is out-of-water.

3. UNPLUG your robot BEFORE anybody enters the pool.

4. Keep the power transformer dry. Use it in the rain Only if it can be kept dry and ventilated.

5. Don't buy foam brushes, they fall apart too quickly and the pieces don't always get sucked up by the robot.

6. If your robot is working, avoid running the pool filter if you have a main drain.

7. Be gentle with the power cord. It is a $200 part that will break.

8. Have a spare set of drive belts handy.

9. Have disposable filter bags available such as the bags at www.nastybag.com.
10. Winterize properly. Simple, don't let your robot freeze. store it in a warm place. Inspect it for worn drive belts.

11. Remove your robot from the pool after use. If this is not always possible, then be sure the water is balanced and chlorine levels are not excessively high. High chlorine and very low pH is a corrosive environment.

12. I frequently hear "my robot always eats the power cord". Keep the cord out of the robots mouth, tangle free and untwisted.Coil the wire from the robot to the plug.

Try changing the handle position mid-cycle to reverse the twisting caused by the robots natural movement.
