important Safety instructions
Section 1.
Congratulations on purchasing the Polaris Robotic Cleaner. Please read through the entire manual before installing
your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL iNSTRUCTiONS
Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution or death.
PREVENT ELECTRiCAL ShOCk
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
• Connect unit to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI receptacle should be provided by a qualified
installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset
button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this product.
Disconnect the cleaner and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
• Per the United States National Electrical Code
Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires a minimum distance of 3m (10 ft.) to be maintained between the pool edge and the
control unit. Never submerge the control unit.
• Do not enter pool while the Polaris cleaner is in water.
• Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the Polaris robotic cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Pool
Systems, Inc. Technical Support immediately for proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.
• Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Do not
attempt repair of the Polaris robotic cleaner, control unit, power cord, or floating cable.
• NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.
• DO NOT USE AN ExTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO ELECTRIC SUPPLY; PROVIDE A PROPERLY LOCATED GFCI
RECEPTACLE. THE CONTROL UNIT SHOULD BE PLACED NEAR THE GFCI RECEPTACLE BOx.
PREVENT ChiLD iNJURY AND DROWNiNg
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool's operational system.
Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.
• The Polaris cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
• This product is intended for use with permanently-installed pools. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed
in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable
of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
• Clean the filter canister in the Polaris cleaner after each use.
• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 95˚ F (35˚ C) or below 55˚ F (13˚ C).
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact with
the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner
patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during
the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc., is not responsible for, and the
Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.
WARNiNg
(NEC
), keep the control unit at least five (5) feet from the edge of the (pool/spa) water. In
