WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury, or damage to
your machine:
Do not use if unit is damaged in any way.
Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only Water
Tech accessories and filters.
Never leave your cleaner plugged in for long term storage.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR cleaner IN WATER WHEN IT IS "OFF" OR HAS RUN OUT OF
BATTERY POWER.
Do not use your cleaner for pool openings; the cleaner is designed for general mainte-
nance of your pool or spa.
The cleaner is designed for underwater use only. Do not attempt to use your cleaner to
clean anything other than your pool or spa. It is not intended for use as an all-purpose
vacuum cleaner.
Close supervision is necessary when used near children. Do not allow this vacuum
cleaner to be used as a toy.
This vacuum creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
Unit must be submerged in water to operate properly.
When not in use, store the cleaner indoors, in a clean, dry place. Do not leave
underwater, in direct sunlight, or exposed to extreme temperatures.
You can operate the cleaner without its vacuum head attachment, but when using the
attachment, make sure that either the supplied wheels or brushes are inserted in place.
Do not use without filter bag/seal ring and nose cap in place.
Replace damaged filter bag/seal ring promptly.
Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the vacuum. They may damage the vacuum
and the filter bag.
Do not use to pick up toxic substances, flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline, or operate in the presence of explosive or flammable fumes.
Never insert or drop any object into any opening on the device. Keep all openings free
of leaves, rocks, or anything that may reduce water flow.
Do not use on or near hot surfaces.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Make sure the cleaner is unplugged from the charger and in the "off" position before
cleaning, filter change or any other routine maintenance.
While cleaner is charging, do not handle with wet hands or without shoes.
Only use the charger supplied to recharge this vacuum. Do not use the supplied char-
ger with any other appliance.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put charger in water or other liquid.
To avoid damage to the charger and cord, never carry the charger by the cord or yank
to disconnect from an outlet. Instead, firmly grasp the charger body and pull to discon-
nect. Do not pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or charger.
Do not use or store charger outdoors. Charge your cleaner indoors in
a clean, dry place. Do not expose charger to rain, or extreme temperatures.
For best results, operate the charger in a location where the temperature is more than
50 degrees F but less than 100 degrees F.
Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use, and before any routine clean-
ing or maintenance.
The use of extension cords is not recommended. Plug the charger into a properly
grounded standard electrical outlet (120v/60Hz US, 240 volts, 50Hz International) only.
If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped or damaged in any
way, return it to a service center before using. Call 1-800-298-8800 for a center
