GENERAL INFORMATION
You have purchased the finest piece of equipment in the pool cleaner industry. If you treat it
as such, your MakoShark 2 automatic swimming pool vacuum cleaner will give you long, sat-
isfactory service. We suggest the unit be stored in the original shipping container for safe-

ADJUSTMENT
There is one adjustment that may be necessary for use in some pools. Please take the few
minutes necessary to make it.
The height of the sensor bar #1710 (Page 10, Key 37) is preset at the factory for average
pools. It may be necessary to readjust the height of the sensor bar for the machine to oper-
ate satisfactorily in your pool.
In “Free Form” or “Bowl Shaped” pools, the sensor bar may have to be raised to a higher set-

ahead of the intake. Make adjustments in 1/4" increments
.
The nut is shaped as a thumb
screw for your convenience.
With the machine sitting on a level surface, loosen adjusting arm nut, and move sensor bar
to desired position. Make certain the sensor bar is parallel to the level surface and retighten
the adjusting arm nut one-half to three-quarter turn past the hand tight. Do not overtighten.
It may be necessary to reset the sensor bar several times to find the best position for opera-
tion in your pool.
