Notice for Vinyl Liner Pools
: Before installing your pool cleaner, examine the interior of your pool
carefully. If the vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the
underside of the liner, or has damage to the base material or supporting walls, do not install the cleaner
before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs or liner replacement.
Zodiac will not be
responsible for liner damage caused by a cleaner which is in disrepair, pattern removal from a vinyl
liner, or a cleaner used in a pool having an aged or deteriorated liner.
Please see Limited Warranty.
• To help prevent suction entrapment accidents, wall vacuum fittings should have a safety vac lock
installed. Contact your builder or retail pool professional for details.
• Clean the skimmer basket, pump basket and pool filter before installing the cleaner and on a
regular basis thereafter.
• Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall or skimmer before cleaning or backwashing
the pool filter. After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes
before reconnecting the cleaner.
• Remove the cleaner from the pool before chemical or shock treatments. Wait a minimum
of 4 hours after super chlorination before reinstalling the cleaner.
