CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ELEMENT

Clean the filter element at the end of each cycle.
• Ensure that the power supply cable has been disconnected
from the electrical outlet or that the floating cable has been
disconnected from the power supply.
Clips
• Remove the cleaner from the water and lay it upside down
to access the filter frame plate located on the bottom of the
cleaner. Diagram 9.
• Undo the 4 clips that hold the plate in place. Remove it, while
holding it upside down so that the dirt remains in the filter
element. Diagrams 9 & 10.
• Release the two (2) plastic retainer clips to remove the filter
element. Diagram 11.
• Carefully remove the elastic from the base of the filter and then
remove it from the filter frame plate. Diagram 12.
• Empty the filter element and clean it with running water or if
necessary with slightly soapy water. If you use soap, rinse it
thoroughly while turning it over. You can also machine wash it,
following the instructions given on the label inside the
filter element.
• Rinse the filter frame plate and remove any dirt caught under
Filter Frame
the flaps.
Plate
• Replace the filter element and ensure the elastic fits snugly
Filter
around the filter frame. Diagram 12. The Zodiac Pool Systems,
Element
Inc. label should be located in the corner, alongside a rod.
• Position the plastic retainer clips at the top of the rods.
• Replace the filter frame plate and snap it into place.

CLEANING AND STORAGE OF THE CLEANER

• The cleaner must be cleaned regularly with clean or slightly soapy
water. Rinse thoroughly in clean water.
• Do not leave your cleaner to dry in the sun by the pool.
• The cleaner must be stored on the caddy so that the brushes
do not deteriorate and so that the cleaner dries quickly.

CHANGING THE BRUSHES

We recommend that you change the brushes every two (2) years or
once they have become worn.
Brush Removal:
• Turn the cleaner upside down.
• Separate the edges of the brush and undo the tabs, then remove the
worn brushes. Diagram 13.
Brush Installation:
• Position the new brushes on the roller with the spikes facing
outward. Diagram 14.
• Thread each tab into the slot provided and gently feed it through
so that the heel comes out at the other side of the slot.
• Use a pair of scissors to cut the tabs 3/4 inch from the heel so
that they are no higher than the spikes.

WEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

Weight adjustments can improve the cleaning efficiency of your
cleaner and adapt its pattern to your pool.
If cleaner does not cover the entire pool, move the weight from the
#5 post, closest to the floating cable side of the cleaner, to the #3
post and recheck coverage.
To adjust coverage further, move the weight to the #1 post. The #2 and
#4 posts can be used for fine tuning the cleaner balance. Diagram 15.
If cleaner is too buoyant, sucking air when at the water line, add the
extra weight (two stainless steel plates) included in the manual
bag to the #3 post. Diagram 15.
If cleaner does not climb walls to water line, remove all weights.
To access the motor block:
• Unplug the power supply and remove the cleaner from the pool.
• With robot upside down, remove filter element frame plate.
• Loosen the screws securing the motor block protection
grid and remove it.
• Make weight adjustment.
