Care and Maintenance
The Zodiac MX6/MX8 cleaner cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning all
surfaces randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool’s
shape and available water flow. If Zodiac MX6/MX8 is not climbing your walls, ensure the flow is correct
by counting wheel speed. Also, ensure the pools surface is not covered in algae as this slippery surface
will affect the cleaner’s traction.
During each coverage pattern cycle, the MX8 cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to
the right and left, where the MX6 cleaner only moves forward and pivots to the left. The power scrubbers
underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing and stability as well as directing debris into the
cleaner mouth.
Removing the cleaner out of your pool
It is most important to disconnect the head of
the cleaner from the leader hose section when
you take the Zodiac cleaner out of the pool.
Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the Zodiac MX6/MX8 from
the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing
the pool filter. After cleaning or backwashing,
let the filtration system run for at least three (3)
minutes to flush out the suction lines before
re-connecting the cleaner.
Adding Chemicals to the Pool
Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least
four (4) hours when adding chemicals.
Remove Debris from Engine
1) Push the latch release button on the top of
the cleaner.
2) Rotate the top lid assembly back until it clicks
into an upward position.
3) Look into engine and remove debris that is
present.
4) If needed, slowly push engine paddles
forward and/or backwards to move stuck
debris to an accessible position then remove
it. When moving the engine paddles, make
sure the cleaner tracks are allowed to move
freely as they will turn as the engine paddles
rotate.
5) Close engine top and ensure the latch clicks
in place.
