General Installation Information
Pre-Installation Check List
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions
or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool finish or the vinyl liner. Pentair Aquatic Systems disclaims any
liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer's pool.
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualified
pool professional make all the necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots, etc., under the liner, remove them before installing the
cleaner.
Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:
Make sure pool finish is in proper condition as staining, etching, cracking or delaminating may worsen.
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper
cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed, depending on the pool size. The
cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts, or to work under a solar cover. The cleaner may get stuck in these
areas which can result in damage to the pool finish or vinyl liner. Pentair Aquatic Systems disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement
to any of these structures or components of the consumer's pool. It was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or when
opening your pool for the season.
AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating correctly:
The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the pool finish. Certain vinyl
liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to the pattern caused
by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Pentair Aquatic Systems is not responsible for
any pattern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners. Periodically inspect the cleaner components and the cleaner performance to
ensure it is operating as designed. Replace and/or repair any worn or damages components. Failure to follow instructions or improper
installation of the cleaner may result in damage to the cleaner, pool finish or the vinyl liner.

Disclaimer of Liability - About your Pool and Suction Side Pool Cleaner
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The pool cleaner is a very passive product that will have no impact
on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration and brittleness of any pool finish can be caused separately by, or in combination
with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation and other factors. Pressure side pool cleaners will not remove or
cause wear on "good" pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool plaster will eventually cause wear on the cleaner.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming pools, because vinyl liners are also affected by the environment and
factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool's surroundings. Therefore over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In
addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by the workmanship, composition and installation of the liner and the workmanship and quality
of construction of the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner failure. The existence of any of
these type of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of the pool cleaner. The manufacturer disclaims any liability
for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer's pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool's surface, water and deck.
Before the cleaner is installed, please take a moment to record the serial number. You will be asked for this number when you
contact our Technical Support Department.
