INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figures 3 - 4, pages 9 - 10.
WARNING:
Do not open the battery compartment if the vacuum is
wet. Make sure the vacuum is completely dry before
installing, removing, or changing a battery pack. Move
away from pool, spa, or wet areas before opening the
battery compartment.
WARNING:
Do not allow any moisture or water inside the sealed
battery compartment. Pool water is corrosive and will
cause battery damage, smoke/fire, serious personal
injury, and/or property damage if fluid enters the sealed
battery compartment.
 Remove the product from the pool and move away from
the pool area before opening the battery compartment
cover to avoid accidentally dropping the battery pack into
the pool.

the sealed battery compartment to keep pool water out
of the battery compartment and away from the battery
pack and internal components.
 Make sure your hands are dry before opening the battery
compartment or handling battery packs.
 Do not use the product if the sealed battery compartment
is damaged or the cover is cracked, as this can allow pool
water to enter the battery pack and internal components.
WARNING:
After opening the product, if fluid has entered the sealed
battery compartment and has collected in the bottom of
the battery compartment, immediately discontinue use
and remove the battery pack. See page 3, Important
Safety Instructions, in this manual and follow the instruc-
tions in the WARNING for battery packs exposed to cor-
rosive and conductive liquids.
