WARNING ON THE USE OF A CLEANER IN A POOL WITH A VINYL SURFACE:
• Before installing your new cleaner, carefully inspect the lining of your pool. If the liner has eroded in some areas, or if you notice
gravel, folds, roots or corrosion caused by metal on the inner surface of the liner, or if you notice that the support (bottom
and walls) is damaged, do not install the cleaner before performing the necessary repairs or before replacing the liner using a
qualified professional. The manufacturer cannot be held liable in any way for damage caused to the liner.
• The surface of certain vinyl patterned surfaces can wear rapidly and the patterns disappear on contact from objects such as
cleaning brushes, toys, inflatable buoys, chlorine distributors and automatic pool cleaners. The decoration on some vinyl surfaces
can be scratched or worn by basic friction such as through the use of a pool brush. The colours of certain patterns can also be
erased during use or when in contact with objects in the pool. The erased patterns, wear or scratching of vinyl surfaces are not
the liability of the manufacturer and are not covered by the limited warranty.
