Step 10: Connect Hose to Cleaner.
Connect the hose cuff of the 14" (0.36 m) hose to the
cleaner (correct end of hose is marked). Add other hose
sections as shown in Figure 10.
Fill the cleaner with water and let it sink to the bottom.
Verify hose connections as shown on the following page,
and that gate valves are fully open in the suction line.

MAINTENANCE

Hazardous suction. Suction through the
PoolShark can entrap bathers, causing severe injuries or
drowning. Do not operate the PoolShark cleaner while
people are using the swimming pool. Do not allow anyone
to play with the PoolShark or its hoses.
Your PoolShark can stay in the pool at all times except dur-
ing chemical shock treatments. However, when people are
using the pool, disconnect the PoolShark and pull it to one
side of the pool.
The PoolShark requires almost no maintenance. Manually
open and close the regulator valve from time to time to
flush away accumulated dirt and debris and ensure smooth
operation. Also, from time to time, visually inspect the
PoolShark to be sure that:
• The oscillator moves freely and is not obstructed by
debris.
• The vacuum pad is not excessively worn. When the
traction pads on the bottom have worn down, it's time
for replacement.
NOTICE: When storing the PoolShark, do not coil the
hose. Instead, lay it out straight and flat in an area pro-
tected from direct sunlight. Use only a genuine PoolShark
hose. The warranty is void if the cleaner is operated with
other than a genuine PoolShark hose.
Balancing the hose
It may or may not be necessary to add weight to your hose,
depending on your pool's size, shape, and depth. Try the
cleaner first without any hose weights. If the hose is too
buoyant, add the weight as shown in Figure 14.
