WARNING
To avoid electric shock and other hazards which could result in
permanent injury or death, disconnect (unplug) the cleaner from the
power source before performing any cleaning and maintenance.

Cord Tangling

Tangling can occur more frequently when the cleaner
is not attended to after each cleaning cycle. Proper
installation, general maintenance and the following
troubleshooting steps can help to avoid cable
challenges.
IMPORTANT
Cleaner power cable may become tangled if correct procedure is not
followed after each cleaning cycle.
NOTE: Place all of the floating cable in the water to allow
free movement in your pool from the central point.
Spread out the floating cable ensuring there are
no kinks or coils in the cable.
