Cleaning the reusable filter bag
For maximum cleaning efficiency the filter bag/seal ring should be checked, emptied, and cleaned after each use or when-
ever you notice the performance of your cleaner declining.
To clean the filter bag/seal ring
• Unplug the cleaner from the charging outlet before changing the filter or
performing any other routine maintenance.
• Place the cleaner on its end (remove the vacuum pole, if attached).
• Turn nosecap counter-clockwise, to unlock.
• Remove the filter bag/seal ring by pulling it out of the funnel (see diagram).
• Invert the filter bag/seal ring and rinse with a garden hose or in a sink. Note: do not clean in a washing
machine or with detergent.
• Re-insert the filter bag when finished.
• Note: Your reusable filter bag should be replaced if the seal ring is worn or if the bag is torn.
WARNING:
When servicing user serviceable parts, use only identical Water Tech re-
placement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Opening the battery cap exposes the motor components. Never let water
enter here, as this will ruin your appliance and void the warranty.
WARNING:
Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING:
Using your
cleaner without the filter bag/seal
ring in place will VOID your
warranty.

Important Tips:

• Store your cleaner in a clean, dry place when not in use. Do not leave it underwater, in
direct sunlight, or exposed to extreme heat or cold.
• You may clean the cleaner body with soap and water. Avoid using solvents when
cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
• The battery cap should be periodically lubricated with a silicon-based grease.
CAUTION:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not approved for use
with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condi-
tion leading to possible serious injury. The batteries and motor are factory sealed in the motor box,
and CANNOT BE REPLACED. Do not attempt in any way to destroy or disassemble motor box or any
of its components. Instead, take your cleaner to an authorized service center. Failure to follow these
instructions may void your warranty agreement.
• General maintenance of your cleaner requires you occasionally clean off the O-rings on
the battery cap and add silicone lubricant/sealant. This will ensure easier turning and a
water-tight seal. This lubricant can be ordered directly from Water Tech (Part No. PBLUBE)
or at your local pool & spa retailer.
• In the Nose Cap (Part No. PBA002) there is a Flapper Valve. To keep the Nose Cap
Flapper Valve moving freely, clean the valve after every use. This will help to keep dirt
inside the cleaner after the cleaner is removed from the pool.

Any repairs requiring disassembly must be performed by a Water Tech Authorized Service Center. For the repair center

NOTE:
Remove cleaner from charger before storage. When not in use, your cleaner should be stored indoors, in a
clean dry location sheltered from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and rain. Do not store the cleaner in a garage or
anywhere the unit could freeze. Storing the cleaner in areas of high humidity can affect battery performance over time.
