Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
- Initial Charging: Before first use, fully charge the Poolrunner S63. Connect the control unit to a power outlet and then connect it to the cleaner. The charging indicator on the control unit will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes 5-6 hours.
- Placement in Pool: Gently lower the Poolrunner S63 into the pool. Ensure it sinks to the bottom completely before activating. Avoid dropping the cleaner into the water.
- Power Connection: Once the cleaner is submerged, connect the control unit to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for safety.
Operating Instructions
The Poolrunner S63 is designed for simple, automatic operation:
- Starting the Cleaner: After setup, press the ON/OFF button on the control unit to start the cleaning cycle. The cleaner will begin its automatic cleaning pattern across the pool floor.
- Cleaning Cycle: The cleaner operates for a predetermined cycle duration, typically around 40 minutes, as observed by users. It navigates the pool floor using its powerful jet nozzles to dislodge and vacuum debris.
- Optimal Conditions: For best results, ensure the pool water temperature is between 10°C and 35°C, and the ambient air temperature is between 10°C and 40°C.
- Stopping Operation: To stop the cleaner, press the ON/OFF button on the control unit. Carefully retrieve the cleaner from the pool using its handle.
