Ready, Set, Inferno: Get Your Automatic Pool Cleaner Connected & Ready to Go
Before your Inferno Automatic Pool Cleaner can tackle its first cleaning cycle, a few important components need to be properly installed and connected. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through installing the side brushes, connecting the floating cables and power box, and adding the optional microfiber pad when you need to capture finer debris.
Key Takeaways:
Install both side brushes securely before using the Inferno, taking care not to over tighten the supplied screws.
Follow the proper cable connection sequence between the power box, transformer, and blue Pool Robot connection.
Use the microfiber pad when you want to capture finer debris, but leave it out when cleaning larger debris such as leaves and twigs.
Step-by-Step Process:
INSTALL THE SIDE BRUSHES
Align the holes in each side brush with the mounting pegs on the pool robot.
Secure each brush using the supplied screws and a screwdriver.
Tighten the screws until secure, being careful not to overtighten them.
CONNECT THE POWER BOX & FLOATING CABLE
Unscrew the cap located next to the switch on the power box.
Insert the end of the floating cable into the socket on the power box.
Insert the end of the floating cable from the transformer into the black power socket.
Slide the cap to connect the plug of the floating swivel union.
Hand-tighten the black nut on the floating rotary coupling.
Repeat the connection process on the blue side marked Pool Robot using the cable connected to the robot.
ADD THE MICROFIBER PAD FOR FINER DEBRIS
Open the top lid of the Inferno.
Use the tabs to pull the debris basket out of the cleaner.
Open the basket and position the microfiber pad along the bottom.
Close the basket and return it to the unit.
Close the top lid.
If your pool contains larger debris such as leaves or twigs, do not install the microfiber pad.
Your Inferno Automatic Pool Cleaner is now properly connected and ready for its first cleaning cycle.
