  1. Place the robot upside down out of the water and rotate the brushes and tracks.
  2. Confirm they rotate in both directions with a little restriction with no clicking or popping noises.
  3. Leave the robot upside down and connect the Power Supply directly, no extension cable, in the GFI outlet.
  4. The brushes and tracks will rotate forward and then backward before stopping when it recognizes it is out of water.
  5. Disconnect the Power Supply from the outlet for about 10 – 15 seconds, place the robot in the pool, connect the Power Supply back to the outlet, and power on the Power Supply to start a cycle.

If the Power Supply powers on and stays on continue to the steps listed below.

The robot will complete a self-test which includes the robot moving forward and then backward before it stops when it recognizes it is out of the water. Once the self-test is completed place your robot in the pool, connect the Power Supply to the GFI outlet directly, and then start a cycle.
