Safety Information
Caution
1. Handrails which extend into the water must be removed or substituted with a figure four
design so as not to obstruct the movement of the cleaner.
2. Ladders present a special situation requiring our special Ladder Guard Kit. If the ladder
guard is not installed on the cleaner head, the unit can become entangled in the ladder.
3. Ideal pools are those with curved corners with a radius of at least 6" including all step and
love seat areas. Pools with square corners or corners with less than 90° angles (espe
cially in step or love seat areas) can cause problems.
4. Never install the pool cleaner in pools which have obstacles such as islands, stools, or
non-removable fountains, as the cleaner can become entangled.
2. Remove the pool cleaner from the pool and lay it out straight whenever you super
chlorinate your pool (high concentrations of chlorine CAN damage the hoses).
3. If a wheel is severely worn, broken, or missing, turn off the Ray-Vac® and do not
operate until wheel has been replaced.
