Carefully read and follow all instructions contained in this operating manual. Failure to do so may cause
injury, inhibit the operation of the pool cleaner, or damage your pool.

This cleaner was not designed to be the first clean at the beginning of the season. If you have a vinyl
pool, check for wear and tear, creases in the vinyl, or any obstructions under the liner. If your pool has
any of the previously mentioned defects, please consult a pool professional prior to use of cleaner. Pool
