HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pads thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is recommended to empty the debris compart-
ment after the first 30min of operation, or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of its cycle.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.
1. Place the cleaner on a flat and sturdy surface. Pry open the side clips simultaneously to release the top cover from the
base. Pry open either side clip first before moving onto the other one if the aforementioned method proves to be too
challenging. Remove the top cover from the base to expose the filter cover.
2. Detach the filter cover and remove the debris from the compartment. It is recommended to clean the filter cover net with
splashing water. If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it carefully and gently to avoid damages.
3. After cleaning, make sure that the filter cover is in
place and reverse the steps above to realign the top
cover to the base.
Press on both side clips until they are secured to the
base. A “click” sound will confirm the top cover is
secured to the base.
TIPS: Before redeploying the robot to the pool, hold
onto the wings on the body top cover to sway
the robot slightly, to ensure the top cover is
secured to the base.
CAUTION!

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pads thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is recommended to empty the debris compart-
ment after the first 30min of operation, or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of its cycle.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pads thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is recommended to empty the debris compart-
ment after the first 30min of operation, or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of its cycle.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.
1. Place the cleaner on a flat and sturdy surface. Pry open the side clips simultaneously to release the top cover from the
base. Pry open either side clip first before moving onto the other one if the aforementioned method proves to be too
challenging. Remove the top cover from the base to expose the filter cover.
2. Detach the filter cover and remove the debris from the compartment. It is recommended to clean the filter cover net with
splashing water. If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it carefully and gently to avoid damages.
3. After cleaning, make sure that the filter cover is in
place and reverse the steps above to realign the top
cover to the base.
Press on both side clips until they are secured to the
base. A “click” sound will confirm the top cover is
secured to the base.
TIPS: Before redeploying the robot to the pool, hold
onto the wings on the body top cover to sway
the robot slightly, to ensure the top cover is
secured to the base.
CAUTION!
- Replace a damaged filter cover immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged retrieval kit immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged flap immediately with a new one before the next operation.

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pads thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is recommended to empty the debris compart-
ment after the first 30min of operation, or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of its cycle.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.

HOW THE ROBOT WORKS
The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth
at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the
nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its
swivel head turns 180˚, allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in
one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in
its compartment.
GETTING STARTED
Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the robot (about 6 hrs) before using it for the first time.
WARNING!
• Use only the original external adaptor and charging connector provided.
•
Make sure the robot (particularly
the lifting loop compartment)
and the charging port are clean
and dry before set-up and
charging.
(TIPS: Use a cotton bud to dry
the charging port and charging
pads)
• The charging pads are waterproof. However, remnants of water in the port and around the pads
could result in natural occurrence of stains (a byproduct of chemical reaction between water and
electric currents). Otherwise, the stains can be removed by light scrubbing with a cotton bud
soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
• Make sure the robot is off by sliding the switch to the OFF position prior to charging.
1. Place the unit on a flat
surface. Slide the switch to
the OFF position.
2. Align the charging connector to the charging port as shown. Press on the charging connector all
the way. WARNING! Ensure both the charging connector and charging port is clean and dry before
charging them. TIP: Use a cotton bud to dry the charging port and pads.
3. Connect the external adaptor to the power source. The indicator light on the external adaptor turns
red once the charging begins. The indicator light on the external adaptor will turn green when the
robot is charged.
• Immediately disconnect the external adaptor from the power source if you detect any of the
following: - Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the external adaptor from the power source and unplug
the charging connector from the unit.
Normally the robot can operate up to 90 minutes on a full charge.
NOTE: Clean the debris compartment regularly. Excessive debris inside the debris compartment increases the burden to the
motor operation and shortens the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the robot will gradually reduce after repeated charging and
discharging throughout its product life.
Once the lifespan of the battery reaches its end, refer to section “BATTERY DISPOSAL” for instructions regarding battery
disposal and replacement of swivel head.
NOTE: Let the robot rest for around 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
Set- up Before Use
Brush Assembly (attach to the end of the base, above the grip)
TIPS:
Press on the
two hook ends
to remove the
brush.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detach the brush after use. Otherwise, it may deform due to constant compression, and could interrupt robot movement as a result.
Adjustment of Trajectory
Locking Pin
The trajectory of the robot is dependent on the position of the pin that fixes the axle to a certain angle. There are two
pins: the one on the right is fixed and should remain untouched. Alter only the position of the pin on left.
Recommended settings:
NOTE: Wheel axle should be positioned above the locking pin
Pool Preparation
- If there are stones, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, discard them prior to using the robot.
If necessary, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- If the liner is brittle, damaged or wrinkled, contact a qualified professional to perform the necessary repairs or perform a liner
replacement prior to using the robot.
- Remove any pool ladder, surface skimmer, and other floating objects from the pool as they may obstruct the movement of
the robot’s float and, consequently, the movement of the robot also.
- If you are using a saltwater pool, make sure all salt are dissolved before placing the robot into the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn off the filtration system (as instructed in your filtration manual) at least 15 minutes prior to
deploying the robot.
OPERATION
WARNING!
- Make sure the robot is off.
- Ensure the charging connector is detached before deploying the robot in the pool.
1. Bring the robot to the side of your pool. NOTE: Only deploy the robot from the pool side (not the pool corner) and ensure it
is facing outwards as you do so. Unwrap the retrieval cord from the float (note: there are side notches at the top and bottom
of the stem, as well as a narrow slot at the bottom).
The correct length of the rope should be equivalent to the distance between the top of the robot and the water level.
NOTE: Excess length may kink the rope and affect performance as a result.
First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pads thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is recommended to empty the debris compart-
ment after the first 30min of operation, or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of its cycle.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.
1. Place the cleaner on a flat and sturdy surface. Pry open the side clips simultaneously to release the top cover from the
base. Pry open either side clip first before moving onto the other one if the aforementioned method proves to be too
challenging. Remove the top cover from the base to expose the filter cover.
2. Detach the filter cover and remove the debris from the compartment. It is recommended to clean the filter cover net with
splashing water. If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it carefully and gently to avoid damages.
3. After cleaning, make sure that the filter cover is in
place and reverse the steps above to realign the top
cover to the base.
Press on both side clips until they are secured to the
base. A “click” sound will confirm the top cover is
secured to the base.
TIPS: Before redeploying the robot to the pool, hold
onto the wings on the body top cover to sway
the robot slightly, to ensure the top cover is
secured to the base.
CAUTION!
- Replace a damaged filter cover immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged retrieval kit immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged flap immediately with a new one before the next operation.

First, align and attach the retrieval cord to the side notches at the top as you wrap the cord around the stem (step 1 & 2).
Keep wrapping the cord around the top half of the stem until it reaches the required length (step 3). Pull the cord down to the
bottom slot and tuck it in (step 4).
2. With the robot switched off, submerge it in the pool and gently shake it a few times to facilitate discharge of air.
Excess air trapped in the body could result in erratic behavior of the swivel head (i.e. spinning repeatedly in the
pool for a few minutes).
3. Slide the power switch to “ON” (while the robot is submerged) – the indicator light will turn on and activate the motor
automatically (the water level must cover the sensors underneath the charging pads at the back of the swivel head ). Let
the robot sink to the pool floor and observe its first forward and reversed movements across the pool bottom. If it runs along
the pool wall instead of perpendicularly, retrieve it and redeploy it while making sure its front/back is facing the pool wall.
Power indicator light starts to blink when 10 minutes of usage remains.
Power indicator light :
No light - Power off / no power
Light - Power on
Blinking light - Battery power will be exhausted within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Refrain from making any physical contact with both water sensors.
4. To retrieve the robot from the pool, attach the hook to a telescopic pole (not provided) and use it to retrieve the
float, if you are unable to retrieve with your hands.
(for EU & US only)
(for Australia/New Zealand only)
As soon as the robot reaches the water surface, grasp the lifting loop on the top to lift the robot and locate the grip
underneath the base that is earmarked with the hand symbol ( see diagram below ) to facilitate retrieval from the
pool.
Always grip the robot from this end to prevent debris from falling back into the pool during retrieval.
5. Slide the power switch OFF. Rinse the robot with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
6. Dry the charging port and pads thoroughly (TIPS: Use cotton bud to dry them)
NOTE: To ensure the most efficient cleaning, when your pool is quite dirty, it is recommended to empty the debris compart-
ment after the first 30min of operation, or whenever the robot’s movement has slowed down noticeably. Then return the robot
(with an emptied debris compartment) to the pool, and let it run through the remaining of its cycle.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT
WARNING! Using the robot without its filter cover in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency, clean the debris compartment and the filter cover before and after each use.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the debris compartment, make sure the robot is OFF.
1. Place the cleaner on a flat and sturdy surface. Pry open the side clips simultaneously to release the top cover from the
base. Pry open either side clip first before moving onto the other one if the aforementioned method proves to be too
challenging. Remove the top cover from the base to expose the filter cover.
2. Detach the filter cover and remove the debris from the compartment. It is recommended to clean the filter cover net with
splashing water. If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it carefully and gently to avoid damages.
3. After cleaning, make sure that the filter cover is in
place and reverse the steps above to realign the top
cover to the base.
Press on both side clips until they are secured to the
base. A “click” sound will confirm the top cover is
secured to the base.
TIPS: Before redeploying the robot to the pool, hold
onto the wings on the body top cover to sway
the robot slightly, to ensure the top cover is
secured to the base.
CAUTION!
- Replace a damaged filter cover immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged retrieval kit immediately with a new one before the next operation.
- Replace a damaged flap immediately with a new one before the next operation.
Lifting loop replacement
Press on the tab to release the cover.
Cut the loop and replace it with a new
one. Make sure both ends of the new
loop are secured by a knot.
Retrieval kit replacement
Locate the screw connector on the lifting loop. Grasp its end which is
on the loop and unfasten the threaded ring as shown to release the
connection. Repeat the steps to install a new retrieval kit.
Flap replacement
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
NOTE:
1. Be sure to clean and dry the areas around the charging port and water sensors after every use to avoid the forming of
stains (byproduct of a natural chemical reaction between electric current and water). Otherwise, the stains can be removed
by light scrubbing with a cotton bud soaked with juice of lemon or vinegar.
2. Battery discharges on its own during storage. Make sure to fully charge the robot before storage.
3. You must recharge the battery at least once every three months when it is not in use.
• Unplug the external adaptor from the socket and the charging connector from the robot.
• Detach accessories from the robot. If necessary, rinse the robot and accessories with fresh water. DO NOT use detergent.
• Be sure to drain the water from the robot before storage.
• Use a damp cloth to clean and dry the robot and its accessories.
• Store them in a well-ventilated area away from sunlight, heat, ignition sources, pool chemicals and from children. Ambient
temperature for storage should be 10˚C – 25˚C (50˚F – 77˚F). NOTE: A higher storage temperature may reduce the battery
life.
WARNING!
-
Under no circumstances should you disassemble the swivel head to replace its internal components
by yourself. Doing so would void the warranty, expose yourself to potential hazards, and possibly
damage the device and other properties.
CAUTION!
• Excessive heat can damage the battery and reduce the lifespan of your robot as a result.
• Consult your dealer regarding battery replacement if the following happens:
- Battery does not charge fully.
- Battery operation time is noticeably reduced. Observe and record the run times of the first few operations (on a full charge).
Use these run times as a reference point for comparison with run times in the future.
• The battery must be removed from the robot before it is scrapped.
• The robot must be disconnected from the supply mains when the battery is being removed.
• The battery is to be disposed safely in accordance with local ordinances or regulations.
NOTE: Incorrect maintenance may reduce the battery life and affect its capacity as a result.
BATTERY DISPOSAL (To be carried out by an authorized technician)
Your robot is equipped with a maintenance-free rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, which must be disposed of properly.
Recycling is required; please contact your local authority for more information.
WARNING! Never attempt to disassemble a battery pack
• Remove all personal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when the battery pack
is unwired from the robot.
• A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or similar item) to metal,
causing a severe burn in the process.
•
Wear complete eye protection, gloves and protective clothing when the battery pack is being
removed.
• Avoid touching the wires altogether and avoid contact between them and any metal items, which
could cause sparking and/or short circuit the battery.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or the robot.
• Do not expose the battery to fire or intense heat as this may result in an explosion.
CAUTION!
If a battery leak occurs, avoid any contact with the leaking fluids and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag.
- If leaking fluids come in contact with skin and clothing, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water.
- If leaking fluids come in contact with eyes, do not rub eyes, immediately flush eyes with cool running water for at least 15
minutes and do not rub them. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
How to remove the battery pack for battery disposal (To be done by authorized technician)
Recommended tools (not included): Screwdriver.
1. Follow section “EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COMPARTMENT” to release the top cover
(preassembled with the swivel head). Turn the bottom locking plate anticlockwise to release the
swivel head. Remove the swivel smoothening-ring.
2. Use the screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws located at the bottom of the head to release the
bottom plate first. Then unscrew all the screws at the base as shown. Pry open the base to expose
head inside.
3. Remove out the battery pack to expose the PCBA. To detach the battery connection wire, press
on the clip of the connector to pull it out. NOTE: Wrap the connector immediately with insulating
tape in order to avoid any short circuit caused by the contact of both wire terminals.
