Operation and Routine Maintenance
The MX8 cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning all surfaces randomly throughout
the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool's shape and available water flow. If MX8 is
not climbing your walls, ensure the flow is correct by checking the wheel speed. Also, ensure the pools surface is
not covered in algae as this slippery surface will affect the cleaner's traction.
During each coverage pattern cycle, the cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to the right and
left. The power scrubbers underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing and stability as well as directing
debris into the cleaner mouth.
Empty the pump basket:
For the MX8 to operate at optimum efficiency, empty the pump basket regularly. The more debris in the pool, the
offers an in-line leaf canister which will trap solid debris
more often the pump basket should be cleared. Zodiac

before it enters the pump basket. See your Zodiac dealer for details.
Backwash the pool filter:
Always disconnect the MX8 from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning
or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes to flush out the suction lines before
re-connecting the cleaner.
Add chemicals to the pool:
Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least four (4) hours when adding chemicals.
Storage and winterizing:
Never store the MX8 in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain out all the water (freeze damage is
not covered by the warranty). Remove all connectors and adapters from the dedicated suction line or skimmer.
When storing the cleaner, even for short times, do not coil the hose as the hose may develop a memory which
can affect cleaner performance. Disassemble the hoses and layout flat.
