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 charge the robot to about 30% to 50% of the battery capacity
before it is stored.
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 cable from the external adaptor and 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
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.
