repairs or replacement to any of these structures or
components of the customer's pool.

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

rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary
for proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
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
