SETTING UP YOUR ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER 1.

For proper operation of your pool cleaner, the Handle must be locked diagonally* across the top of the cleaner’s body.
WARNING: The Power Supply must be placed at least 12 feet / 4 meters from the pool’s edge at all times! WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) / Residual Current Device (R.C.D.) must be installed to protect your electric outlet and to prevent and possible electrical shock! 2.

All Power Supplies (Page 4; Fig. 4a-d), including No Timer, Dial timer and Digital timer models, may be connected to an external, separately purchased timer, such as a house-type timer or pool control system.
External Timed Operation All Power Supplies, including No Timer, Dial timer and Digital timer models, may be connected to an external separately purchased timer, such as a house-type timer or pool control system.
