IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on purchasing the Baracuda
®
S3 Robotic cleaner. Please take a
moment to read through the entire manual before installing your new unit. Your
cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• To reduce risk of electrical shock
- Connect unit to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
- Per United States National Electric Code (NEC), keep the power unit at least five
(5) feet (Canada 3m (10ft.) per CEC requirements) from pool edge and do not
remove it from caddy. Never submerge the power supply.
- Do not enter pool while S3 Robotic is in water.
- Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn
mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
- S3 Robotic is designed with double insulation protection. Double insulation is a
concept of safety in electric power products which eliminates the need for the
usual three (3) wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal live parts with two insulation layers.
- Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use
only identical replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the
S3 Robotic cleaner, power supply unit, power cord, or floating cable.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use S3 Robotic cleaner or power supply
if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. immediately for
a replacement cord.
- NEVER OPEN POWER SUPPLY UNIT.
- Do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to electric supply; provide a
properly located outlet. The power supply unit shall be placed near the outlet box.
PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any
equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system. Unless otherwise
stated, per United States National Electric Code (NEC), ALL components of your
pool’s operational system should be located at least five (5) feet from the pool
(3m (10ft.) in Canada per the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) so children cannot use
the equipment to gain access and be injured or drown.
