CAUTION
To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere
to the following guidelines:
• Remove the cleaner from the pool after the
cleaning cycle is completed and store out of direct
sunlight or inclement weather.
• Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out
of the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with
water.
• Always remove the cleaner from pool before
adding chemicals.
• Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation.
IMPORTANT
• Always make sure the cleaner head is fully
submerged before you begin operation.
• Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle.
• Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a
permanent basis.
• At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from
the pool. Start at the cleaner head and untangle any
coils in the cable before storing the cleaner.
The Baracuda
®
robotic cleaner includes a safety feature
that automatically stops the cleaner if it is powered on
but not submerged in water. For pools equipped with a
beach area, this safety feature is programmed to drive
the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool when the
impeller is out of the water.
3.1 Submerging the Cleaner
1. Submerge cleaner vertically (1) and hold it
under the surface, moving gently from side to
side (2) until the bubbles stop to remove any
air trapped inside (Figure 12).
2. When the bubbles stop, allow the cleaner to
sink to the bottom of the pool.
3. Verify the cleaner is sitting on the bottom
of the pool. Remove additional air if the
cleaner is still oating.
NOTE: The cable side of the cleaner remains up as long as
the cleaner fan motor is OFF. As soon as you turn
the cleaner ON, the handle lowers.

4. Spread the oating cable over the pool,
making sure there are no kinks or coils in the
cable. Allow enough oating cable for the
cleaner to reach the farthest point of the pool
(Figure 13).
