Section 3. Operation; Submerging The Cleaner - Zodiac CyclonX EM14 Series Owner's Manual

Section 3. Operation

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere
to the following guidelines:
• Remove the cleaner from the pool after the
cleaning cycle is completed and store out of direct
sunlight or inclement weather.
• Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of
the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.
• Always remove the cleaner from pool before adding
chemicals.
• Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation.
IMPORTANT
• Always make sure the cleaner head is fully
submerged before you begin operation.
• Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle.
• Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a permanent
basis.
• At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from
the pool. Start at the cleaner head and untangle any
coils in the cable before storing the cleaner.
®
The Zodiac robotic cleaner includes a safety feature
that automatically stops the cleaner if it is powered on
but not submerged in water. For pools equipped with a
beach area, this safety feature is programmed to drive
the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool when the
impeller is out of the water.
NOTE: Zodiac recommends no more than 3 cleaning
cycles per week. Up to 3 cleaning cycles per week in
summer means your pool will always be clean and the
filter less clogged.

Submerging the Cleaner

1. Submerge cleaner vertically (1) and hold it
under the surface, moving gently from side to
side (2) until the bubbles stop to remove any air
trapped inside (Figure 3).
2. When the bubbles stop, allow the cleaner to
sink to the bottom of the pool.
3. Verify the cleaner is sitting on the bottom
of the pool. Remove additional air if the cleaner
is still fl oating.

NOTE: The cable side of the cleaner remains up as long as
the cleaner fan motor is OFF. As soon as you turn the
cleaner ON, the handle lowers.

4. Spread the fl oating cable over the pool, making
sure there are no kinks or coils in the cable.
Allow enough fl oating cable for the cleaner to
reach the farthest point of the pool (Figure 4).
