This document describes a Rechargeable Pool Vacuum, a device designed for cleaning pools and spas. It operates underwater and is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.

Function Description

The primary function of the rechargeable pool vacuum is to clean debris from pools and spas. It generates suction to pick up various types of debris, which are then collected in a filter bag or filter cage. The device is intended for underwater use only, and its operation is initiated when two water-sensing pins make contact with water. It automatically stops when these pins are no longer in contact with water. The vacuum is designed to be fully immersed in water during operation, with a minimum water level required to be above the switching knob when held vertically.

Usage Features

The pool vacuum is designed for ease of use and portability. It features a switching knob that controls its operation and exposes the charging port. The device is charged using a USB cable and a compatible USB charging adaptor (not included). Charging should be done indoors, in a well-ventilated area, away from sunlight, children, heat, and ignition sources, within a specified ambient temperature range. A red indicator light signifies charging, turning green when the vacuum is almost fully charged.

For optimal performance, the electric vacuum should be fully charged before its first use, typically taking 7-8 hours. Subsequent full charges take approximately 4.5-6 hours, providing up to 30 minutes of operation. Users are advised to disconnect the charging adaptor once charging is complete and to immediately power off and disconnect if any unusual conditions (odor, heat, deformation, cracks, leaks, smoke) are detected.

When using the vacuum, it's crucial to ensure it's fully immersed in water before starting and to keep it pointing downwards when placed in the pool to prevent damage to the pole connector. After use, the vacuum should be lifted while pointing downwards to allow water to discharge, and then rinsed with fresh water without detergent.

Safety Precautions during Use:

Children: This is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children. Children should never operate the product.
User Capability: Not intended for use by individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person.
Water Immersion: Must be fully immersed in water before operation.
Voltage: Must only be supplied at safety extra low voltage according to its marking.
Depth and Temperature: Maximum operating depth is 2 meters (6.5 ft). Maximum water temperature is 5°C (41°F) - 40°C (104°F).
Damage: Do not use if damaged. Replace damaged parts only with certified parts.
Charging: Do not handle while charging with wet limbs or without shoes. Do not operate while the pool is being used.
Filter: Must be used with an intact filter bag/filter cage to maintain warranty.
Suction Entrapment: Avoid contact of hair, body, or loose clothing with the suction range.
Prohibited Substances: Do not pick up toxic, flammable, or combustible liquids, or use in the presence of explosive/flammable fumes.
Disassembly: Never attempt to disassemble the vacuum, replace the impeller, motor, or battery yourself.
Objects: Never insert objects into openings or moving parts, or allow objects to contact the impeller.
Cleaning Scope: Do not use for anything other than pools/spas.
Accessories: Use only original accessories.
Pool Shocking: Do not use immediately after pool shocking; wait 24-48 hours.
Hard/Sharp Objects: Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects to prevent damage.
Pool Stairs: Exercise caution when cleaning pool stairs.

Charging Duration: Do not leave plugged in for over 10 hours.
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area away from sunlight, heat, ignition sources, pool chemicals, and children. Recharge every three months.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the pool vacuum.

Filter Maintenance:

The filter bag/filter cage should be cleaned before and after each use to maximize cleaning efficiency.
To clean, detach the canopy by turning it anticlockwise until the white marking aligns with the lock-unlock marking.
Remove the filter bag/filter cage, clean out debris, and rinse with water. A soft brush can be used for gentle cleaning.
Replace damaged filter bags/filter cages with new ones.
Warning: Using the vacuum without a filter bag/filter cage voids the warranty.

Battery Maintenance and Storage:

The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion pack with a limited lifespan. Its capacity will gradually decrease over time.
During storage, the battery discharges on its own. It should be stored at room temperature, charged to about 30% to 50% of its capacity.
Recharge the battery at least once every three months if not used frequently.
Before storage, disconnect all USB charging peripherals and accessories. Rinse the vacuum and accessories with fresh water, drain all water, and clean with a damp cloth.
Store in a well-ventilated area away from sunlight, children, heat, ignition sources, and pool chemicals. The ideal storage temperature is 10°C - 25°C (50°F - 77°F). Higher temperatures may reduce battery life.
Warning: Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack or replace the impeller, motor, or battery yourself. This can cause severe or fatal injuries and voids the warranty.
Battery Replacement: Consult your dealer if the battery is damaged, won't charge fully, or if operation time is noticeably reduced.
Battery Disposal: The battery must be removed from the vacuum before scrapping and disposed of safely according to local ordinances or regulations.
Safety during Battery Handling: When handling the battery, remove personal items like rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches. Wear complete eye protection, gloves, and protective clothing. Avoid touching wires and contact with metal items to prevent short circuits. Do not smoke or allow sparks/flames near the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or intense heat.
Battery Leak: If a battery leak occurs, avoid contact with fluids. If fluids contact skin/clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If fluids contact eyes, flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

General Maintenance:

Rinse the electric vacuum with fresh water after every use; do not use detergent.
Do not cover the side slot (middle gap) during operation, as this may damage the impeller/motor.
Remove the vacuum from the pool/spa as soon as cleaning is complete.

The manual emphasizes that these warnings and cautions are not exhaustive, and users should always exercise extra caution and common sense when using the product.
