Before Initial Use
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a top-quality Water Tech
product which has been thoroughly tested to meet our exacting
quality control standards.
The Pool Blaster vacuum is powered by Nickel-Metal Hydride bat
teries. These batteries will operate at their peak after the second
or third charge. A precise amount of space is left open in the Pool
Blaster body to properly ventilate and cool the batteries, seals and
drive system.
Please take care to tighten the On/Off knob when turning the unit
on and before you submerge the unit in water to prevent any water
from entering the motor box. From time to time, water may enter
the motor box. To drain any water that may enter the motor box,
allow all the water to drain from the exterior vacuum area than remove the On-Off Knob and turn the machine so the knob is towards
the floor and tilt side to side in all directions. The amount of water
may be very small or not noticed at all.
If water has entered the motor box area use a blow dryer on warm
setting to dry any moisture build-up on the inside of the motor box.
Water entering the Pool Blaster body presents no safety hazard and
should be drained occasionally to avoid any chance of long-term
corrosion. The batteries and motor in the Pool Blaster are long lasting
and proper care will help to prolong the life of your appliance.
These guidelines and safeguards help insure that your new Pool
Blaster operates effectively. Please read all instructions carefully be
fore using your Pool Blaster. Please take a few moments to review the
following IMPORTANT INFORMATION before using this tool.
