Everyday Storage
Store the cleaner in a protected and dry place with an
ambient temperature between 50°F (10°C) and 70°F
(21°C), out of reach of children, pets, other foreign
objects, etc.
• Never store or dry the cleaner in direct sunlight.
• DO NOT expose cleaner to fire, excessive
temperatures, ignition sources, or pool and spa
chemicals.
• DO NOT leave the cleaner in the water when not in use.
Long-Term & Winter
Remove the cleaner from the pool and drain all water
to avoid freezing water damage (freeze damage is not
covered under warranty).
For long term storage, it is recommended to store the
cleaner at 80-100% of battery capacity (indicated by solid
GREEN battery LED).
You may either:
• Leave the cleaner connected until next use.

Replacing Wear Parts
6.4.1 Replacing Brushes
The cleaner is fitted with PVC brushes with a "wear"
indicator.
Figure 20. Worn Brush Indicator
To maintain cleaner performance at its best you need to
replace the brushes as soon as one of the wear indicators
is reached (even if the blade wear is not even). It is
recommended that you replace the brushes when the
rubber is worn down to the top of the wear indicator (or
every two years, whichever comes first).
To replace a worn brush:
1. Separate the edges of the brush and undo the tabs.
Remove the worn brushes.
