Congratulations on your purchase! You will find ROBOKLEEN PLUS to be the most effective pool cleaner
available. Unlike water-powered cleaners, which put all dirt
and debris through your existing pool pump and filter,
ROBO-KLEEN PLUS has its own pump and filter system.
This saves you money in electricity costs and extends the
life of your existing pool equipment.
Read carefully before using your ROBO-KLEEN PLUS pool
cleaner.

The power supply should be positioned so that ROBO-KLEEN PLUS
can reach all the walls of the swimming pool and must be at a
minimum distance of 10 feet from the edge of the pool.
CAUTION: INSURE THE 110V MAIN LINE OUTLET IS PROTECTED
BY A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) OR EARTH
LEAKAGE CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (ELCI). OTHERWISE, DEATH OR
INJURY CAN RESULT.
Installation
Tighten the threaded plug cover so that
the cord cannot be accidentally pulled out.
To connect ROBO-KLEEN PLUS to the
transformer, remove the cap on the
transformer output socket. Plug the
ROBO-KLEEN PLUS cord into the socket.
Notice the plug and socket are indexed
using pins.

DO NOT ENTER THE SWIMMING POOL WHILE ROBO-KLEEN PLUS
IS IN OPERATION TO AVOID ENTANGLEMENT WITH CORD
Operation
a. Connect the cable to the power supply
b. Grasp the cleaner by a side handle and place ROBO-KLEEN PLUS in the
pool.
c. Rock the unit from front to back and side to side, releasing trapped air,
until the unit slowly sinks to the bottom of the pool.
d. Start the unit at a 90˚ angle to a wall . CAUTION: BE SURE MAIN LINE
OUTLET IS PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
(GFCI) OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR.
e. Press the top of the On/Off switch through the clear jacket on the power
supply. ROBO-KLEEN PLUS will take an initial 10 seconds to scan the
circuit board and reset the memory. After the initialization is complete,
filtered water will be pumped to the top and the unit will start moving.
CAUTION: Do not operate ROBO-KLEEN PLUS out of the water. This may
result in damage to the pump motor seals and invalidate the warranty.
Optimum water temperature for the operation of ROBO
-KLEEN PLUS is
65˚ F to 90˚ F.
Cleaning Pattern Adjustment
ROBO-KLEEN PLUS features convenient cleaning
pattern adjustment. Simply adjust the knob that
controls the movement of the front wheels. At
the highest setting, the unit turns at a sharper
radius. For round pools, turn the knob to either
of the highest angles for best results. A smaller
angle works best in oval pools. Start the unit off
at the rounded end of oval pools.
This is all you need to do to adjust the cleaning
pattern. TO AVOID CABLE COILING, REVERSE
THE KNOB POSITION AFTER EACH USE SO THE
PATTERN IS REVERSED. During use, allow the
cord to lengthen out by removing coils and
giving the cleaner enough cord to easily reach
the furthest point of the pool. A coiled cord can
impede the movement of the cleaner.

Automatic Shutdown and Removal
ROBO-KLEEN PLUS will automatically shut down after a work
cycle of approximately 3 hours. Should a second cleaning cycle
be required, switch off the power supply for at least 30 seconds
before restarting.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE REMOVING
ROBO-KLEEN PLUS FROM THE POOL.
Remove ROBO-KLEEN PLUS from the water by gently pulling in
the cable. When ROBO-KLEEN PLUS reaches the surface, lift it out
by the handle - NOT by the cable. To minimize debris falling back
into the pool during removal, pull out of water and place upside
down on ledge.
Carefully reel in and coil the cable. Store ROBO-KLEEN PLUS in a
dry shaded place at a temperature between 40˚ F and 90˚ F.

Maintenance
There are only a few simple steps to maintaining your ROBO-KLEEN
PLUS.
a. Place ROBO-KLEEN PLUS upside
down. Push the locking tabs to
the side to unlock the bottom lid.
Remove the bottom lid.
b. Pull one of the 4 red tabs out and
remove the filter bag from the bottom lid.
Turn the filter bag inside out. Use a garden
hose to wash it thoroughly. The bag should
be laundered periodically, using a regular
wash cycle.
c. Rinse the bottom lid parts and bottom brushes.
d. Refit the filter bag with the fluffy surface
inward. Start from one corner - align one of
the red tabs with the corner. Gently insert the
stitched edge of the filter bag into the double
walls (groove) of the bottom lid, and work your
way around.
e. Replace the bottom lid assembly in the body of
the unit and lock in place.
2) Impeller
Occasionally hair or linen may get caught in the impeller. If that
happens, take the top grill off by removing the 2 screws from the top.
MAKE SURE THE TRANSFORMER IS UNPLUGGED. Remove the
debris. Replace the top grill and tighten the 2 screws.
3) Front Drive Wheels and Rear Idler Wheels
Remove debris or tree leaves caught in the axle bearing. CAUTION: Do
not turn the drive wheels by force. This may cause damage to the
drive gear train.
4) Winterization
Do not store ROBO-KLEEN PLUS where the temperature drops below
40˚ F. Freezing temperatures can affect seals and lubricants used in
the mechanism.
