Section 4.
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 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 Adventura 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.

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 air trapped inside (Figure 12).
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 floating.

4. Place only enough floating cable in the
water to reach the farthest end of your
pool from the central point. Spread out
the floating cable ensuring there are no
kinks or coils in the cable (Figure 13).
