Operation and Maintenance
Daily Operation
The 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 the
cleaner is not climbing pool walls, ensure the flow is correct by checking the wheel speed. Also, ensure the pool
surface is not covered in algae as this slippery surface will affect traction.
During each coverage pattern cycle, the cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to the right and
left. The turbines underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing and stability as well as directing debris
into the cleaner mouth. (In MX8
™
Elite cleaners, the scrubbing brushes also make contact with the pool floor to
agitate and remove small stuck-on debris.)

Elite Cleaner Vacuum Modes
Your Zodiac cleaner is designed to operate with two vacuum options:
• Small debris (factory setting): For vacuuming smaller and heavy debris, such as sand, silt and small
stones. The pool cleaner is sent from the factory in this mode.
• Large debris: For vacuuming large debris, such as leaves.
It is recommended that you return the cleaner to small debris factory setting after large debris cleaning.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, make sure that the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and
the suction pump used for the cleaner is turned off prior to starting this operation.
Routine Maintenance
To ensure correct operation and extend the life of your cleaner:
1. Empty the pump basket regulary
For the cleaner to operate at highest efficiency, empty the pump basket regularly. The more debris in the pool,
the more often the pump basket should be cleared.
NOTE: Zodiac offers an in-line leaf canister which will trap solid debris before it enters the pump basket.
See your Zodiac dealer for details.
2. Remove Debris from Engine
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, make sure that the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and the
suction pump used for the cleaner is turned off prior to starting this operation.
1. Push the latch release button on the top of the cleaner (Figure 13).
2. Rotate the top 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.
