WARNING ON THE USE OF A CLEANER IN A POOL WITH A VINYL SURFACE:
• Before installing your new cleaner, carefully inspect the lining of your pool. If the liner has eroded in some areas, or if you noce gravel, folds,
roots or corrosion caused by metal beneath the liner, or if you noce that the surface (boom and walls) is damaged, do not install the cleaner
before performing the necessary repairs or before having the liner replaced by a qualied professional. The manufacturer may not be held liable
in any way for damage caused to the liner.
• The surface of certain vinyl paerned surfaces can wear rapidly and the paerns disappear on contact from objects such as cleaning brushes,
toys, inatable buoys, chlorine distributors and automac pool cleaners. The decoraon on some vinyl surfaces can be scratched or worn by basic
fricon such as through the use of a pool brush. The colours of certain paerns can also be erased during use or when in contact with objects
in the pool. The pool cleaner manufacturer may not be held liable for the erased paerns, wear or scratching of vinyl surfaces, which are not
covered by the limited warranty.
