Correcting Pool Surface Coverage

Caring for your Frill-NeckWIZARD®
DO NOT EVER:
1. Remove the Frill-NeckWIZARD®from the pool while the pump
is running as this will introduce air to the pump and cause it to
lose Prime.
2. Put any oil, grease or other lubricants on the engine unit. Water is the
only lubricant required.
3. Leave the pool cleaner in the pool when
“shocking” it with aggressive chemical
treatments. This could lead to chemical
damage.
4. Store cleaner hose in a coiled position. It is
manufactured using special materials which
enables hose memory and may cause the
hose to lie awkwardly on the water preventing
the Frill-NeckWIZARD®from moving freely
around the pool.
