Section 5. Maintenance

The cleaner should be cleaned regularly using
mild soapy water. Do not use any solvents such as
trichlorethylene. Rinse using clean water. Do not let
the cleaner dry in direct sunlight near the pool.
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.
5.1

Cord Tangling

Tangling can occur more frequently when the
cleaner is not attended to after each cleaning
cycle. 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: For optimal patterning and reduced tangling,
the floating cable should enter the water near
the middle of the pool length. Only place
enough cable in the water to reach the farthest
point in the pool.
