MAINTENANCE
Important Tips:
Store your Pool Blaster in a clean, dry place when not
in use. Do not leave it underwater, in direct sunlight, or
exposed to extreme heat or cold.
You may clean the Pool Blaster body with soap and
water. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths or paper
towels to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
The On-Off knob should be periodically lubricated with
a silicon-based grease
• The ON/OFF knob should remain disconnected from
the unit and left hanging from the attached lanyard
until the unit is ready to be used.
CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, pe-
troleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create ac-
cessories not approved for use with this tool. Any such alteration
or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condi
-
tion leading to possible serious injury. The batteries and motor
are factory sealed in the motor box, and CANNOT BE REPLACED.
Do not attempt in any way to destroy or disassemble motor box
or any of its components. Instead, take your Pool Blaster to an
authorized service center. Failure to follow these instructions may
void your warranty agreement.
General maintenance of your Pool Blaster requires you
occasionally clean off the O-rings on the “ON-OFF”
knob and add silicone lubricant/sealant. This will ensure
easier turning and a water-tight seal. This lubricant is
available at your local pool & spa or hardware retailer.
In the Nose Cap (Part No. PBA002) there is a Flapper
Valve. To keep the Nose Cap Flapper Valve moving
freely, clean the valve after every use. This will help
to keep dirt inside the Pool Blaster after the cleaner is
removed from the pool.

Storing the Pool Blaster
NOTE: State of the art Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries power the
Pool Blaster. These are the same batteries used in many portable
phones. In order to properly ventilate and cool the batteries
and drive system a certain amount of space is left open in the
Pool Blaster body. As a result, from time to time, water may enter
the unit. In order to allow for any water to be drained you should
remove the On-Off Knob after each use, turn the machine so the
knob is towards the floor and tilt side to side in all directions. The
amount of water may be very small or not noticed at all. After
removing any water use a blow dryer on warm setting to dry any
moisture build-up on the inside of the motor box. Water entering
the Pool Blaster body presents no safety hazard and should be
drained to avoid any chance of long-term corrosion. The batter
-
ies and motor in the Pool Blaster are long lasting and proper care
will help to prolong the life of your appliance.
NOTE: Remove Pool Blaster from charger before storage.
When not in use, your Pool Blaster should be stored indoors, in a
clean dry location sheltered from direct sunlight, extreme tem
-
peratures and rain. Do not store the Pool Blaster in a garage or
anywhere the unit could freeze. Storing the Pool Blaster in areas of
high humidity can affect battery performance over time.
The ON/OFF knob should remain disconnected from the unit and
left hanging from the attached lanyard until the unit is ready to
be used.
For your convenience the Pool Blaster has an oval opening in the
pool pole adaptor on which you can hang the unit.
Long Term Storage
Follow the above storage instructions and unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet.
Your Pool Blaster should be charged once a month during long-
term storage to maintain the battery pack. DO NOT leave the
Pool Blaster charging for a period of more than 24 hours.
When charging for the first time after long-term storage, your
Pool Blaster may take 2-3 uses before maximum performance is
achieved.
The ON/OFF knob should remain disconnected from the unit and
left hanging from the attached lanyard until the unit is ready to
be used.
