SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Please read the following before installing your new automatic pool cleaner!
∙ Hazardous suction can cause injury and drowning. Do not play with cleaner or hose or apply to
body. Do not let children use or play with pool cleaner. Turn off pump before attempting to clean
unit.
∙ Do not allow swimmers in pool while pool cleaner is operating.
∙ Suction entrapment, injury and drowning hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction port
(vacuum port) for vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner, it must be covered when not in
use. If your dedicated suction port does not have a spring loaded cover (vacuum lock fitting)
purchase one from your local pool store and install it before connecting pool cleaner to
dedicated suction port.
∙ If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we suggest purchasing and installing an
in-line leaf trap. A leaf trap will provide more debris-loading capacity and also provides a water
by-pass when the basket is full. It is very important that the pump will get sufficient water flow!
Before Installation
Important for vinyl liner pool owners:
Before installing the MakoShark
®
pool cleaner, examine the interior of your pool carefully. If your
vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles or metal corrosion in contact with the bottom side
of the liner, or has damage to the base or supporting walls, do not install the MakoShark
®
pool
cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.
Important for gunite pool owners:
Before installing the pool cleaner in a gunite (concrete) pool or pool that is partially or completely
tiled, check closely for loose tiles and loose light fittings. Do not install the MakoShark
®
pool
cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.
