ASSEMblY ANd INITIAl USAGE
! Failure to heed the following warnings can result
wARNING
in permanent injury, electrocution or drowning.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCk
• Keep the power supply at least five (5) feet from the edge of the pool (3m (10ft.)
in Canada per CEC requirements). Never submerge power supply.
• You should only connect the power supply to a receptacle protected by a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a certified electrician if you cannot verify
that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect the power supply.
• Do not allow anyone to swim while the S3 Robotic cleaner is in the pool.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Power
Supply

IMPORTANT:
• S 3 Robotic power supply is equipped with an automatic shut off
feature to prevent over heating if operated in direct sunlight
for an extended period of time.
• S 3 Robotic power supply is water-resistant, not waterproof.
Therefore, never submerge the power supply.

SUbMERGING THE CLEANER

• Submerge the cleaner in the pool and remove any air trapped
inside by turning it over if necessary. Diagram 5.
• Ensure the unit sinks to the bottom of the pool.
• Spread out the floating cable over the pool, ensuring there are
no knots or coils in the cable.
ASSEMblY ANd INITIAl USAGE

INITIAL USAGE

Select either Perfect or Turbo cleaning cycle on the power supply:
The Perfect Cycle
• Completed in 3 hours
• Cleans walls and floors
• Intensive and complete cleaning
The Turbo Cycle
• Completed in 1.5 hours
• Spends more time cleaning floor
• Maximum coverage in minimal time
• To start your S3 Robotic cleaner, press the button for the desired
cycle (Perfect or Turbo). Diagram 6. The cleaner starts up after
just a few seconds and the indicator light for the cycle selected
illuminates.
• If you wish to stop the cleaner or change cycles during a cycle, press
the OFF button. Diagram 7. To start a new cycle, press the button for
the desired cycle.
• At the end of the cycle the cleaner stops and the light remains on to
indicate the cycle it last completed.
• S3 Robotic includes a safety feature that automatically stops the
cleaner after 20 seconds, when it is powered on, but not submerged
in water. For pools equipped with a beach area, this safety feature
allows the cleaner to drive in reverse, and back into the pool when
the propeller is out of the water.
To turn the S3 Robotic off, press the OFF button. Diagram 7.
• Disconnect the power supply cable from the electrical outlet.
• Disconnect the cable from the power supply.
• At the end of each cycle, coil the cable starting at the cleaner and
go toward the connection point at power supply. Remove coils or
twists along the way.
IMPORTANT:
• Wait approximately 15 minutes after the cycle is completed before removing
the cleaner from the water. This allows the motor to cool, and will prevent
damage to the cleaner.
• Remove S3 Robotic from the pool after the cleaning cycle is
completed and store on the caddy.
• Never lift S3 Robotic out of the pool by the floating cable. Always
use the handle to remove S3 Robotic from the pool. Diagram 8.
• Remove S3 Robotic from pool when super chlorinating.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• U se your S3 Robotic cleaner as often as needed to keep
your pool clean.
• Clean filter element after each cleaning cycle.
