SANDSHARK
™
Automatic Vacuum Pool Cleaner Installation & User’s Guide
9
This section describes the service and maintenance of
the of your SandShark
™
cleaner.
The SandShark
™
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 SandShark
™
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.
∙ Keep skimmer basket and pump strainer basket clean
and free of debris.
∙ Remove the pool cleaner from the pool before super
chlorinating (shocking) or chemical balancing. Wait at
least four hours after the chemical procedure before
reinstalling the cleaner.
∙ If cleaner jams with large debris (leaves, sticks, etc.),
clean the debris from bottom of unit.
∙ When people are using the pool, disconnect the
SandShark
™
and pull it to one side of the pool.
NOTICE:
When storing the SandShark
™
, do not coil
the hose. Instead, lay it out straight and flat in an area
protected from direct sunlight. Use only a genuine
SandShark
™
hose. The warranty is void if the cleaner
is operated with another hose other than a genuine
SandShark
™
hose.
∙ Do not coil the hose. Remove the hose from the
cleaner when removing the cleaner from the pool.
Store the hose flat and straight.
∙ Don't store the cleaner with the hose connected to
the cleaner body or with the hose coiled. To do so will
cause the hose to take a set or kink over a period of
time. When reinstalled in the pool, the hose will tend to
stay coiled and will cause the cleaner to malfunction.
∙ If the hose has taken a set, uncoil it as far as possible
without damaging it and lay it out in the sun for several
hours to straighten itself. Once it has relaxed and
straightened out, store it laid out flat and straight (no
coiling).
Hose Storage
Hazardous suction.
Suction through

™

causing severe injuries or drowning.
Do not operate the SandShark
™
cleaner
while people are using the swimming
pool. Do not allow anyone to play with the
SandShark
™
or its hoses.
