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.

the vacuum source to the farthest point of the pool, plus one section.

The soft Leader hose needs to be the very rst hose attached to the

pool cleaner.

Step 6: Close Main Drain (Bottom Drain)

Connect together as many hose sections as needed to reach from

the vacuum source to the farthest point of the pool, plus one section.

Flow Gauge Instructions

The Flow gauge is used to ne-tune the performance of your Pentair in-ground, suction side

Automatic pool cleaner. We recommend that the Flow gauge be used periodically to check for

proper water ow so that your Pentair Automatic pool cleaner performs at its best.

Step 1 Clean your ltration system, skimmer

basket, and pump strainer basket.

Step 2 With the pool pump in the off position,

insert the Flow gauge to the Hose Cuff

end of the Leader hose. This is the same

end that connects to the Automatic pool

cleaner.

Step 3 Attach one end of the Double C clip to the

Leader hose closes to the Flow gauge.

Step 4 Attach the other end of the Double C clip to

the rst hose section.

Step 5 After making sure that the hose and Flow

gauge are submerged below the water level,

turn the pump on.

Step 6 Adjust the water ow so that the indicator

lines up between the “Min” and “Max”

markings of the Flow gauge.

Refer to the Installation Manual of your

Automatic pool cleaner for instructions on

using either the valves in the lter system

or the Pentair Regulator valve to adjust the

water ow.

Step 7 Turn off the Pump and remove the Flow

gauge and Double C clip.

Step 8 Install the Automatic pool cleaner onto the

Leader hose.

“EASY STEPS” IN-GROUND INSTALLATION GUIDE

Step 8: Leader Hose and Hose Weight Placement

Soft Leader hose needs to be the very rst hose attached to the pool cleaner.

Note: soft Leader hose is a solid dark blue colour. Hose weight is not required for most pools.

For deep pools place the hose weight in the center of the 4th hose section. For very deep pools if

necessary place the second hose weight in the middle of the 5th hose section.

Step 9: Return Jets Adjustments

The cleaner must move randomly throughout the pool. Water circulating at the surface will

inuence the hose thus limiting coverage. Adjust return line ow slightly downwards and try

different directions to see what works best in your pool. Allow time for the body of water to settle

into the new pattern.

MAINTENANCE

Your MakoShark®pool cleaner requires very little maintenance. Check the following from time

to time.

It is quick and easy to open up the Oscillator’s chamber. First stop the pump. Unscrew the pipe

and nut swivel and slide internal housing out of the external body. Push the sliding lock up into

open position and remove the lid. With your finger lift and inspect the Oscillator and the chamber

to insure that it is not obstructed with debris.

See picture:

Also insure that the Oscillator is moving freely up and down and that it is securely clipped onto the

steel pin. Then place the lid back and slide the lock down to close and reassemble the unit.

To remove damaged or worn Oscillator; no tools are required. Simply grab the Oscillator, pull and

waggle outward until it unclips from the steel pin. To install the new Oscillator push it in firmly

(TOP side up as marked) onto the steel pin until it snaps in place. If the Oscillator is clipped in the

wrong way (TOP side down) you will not be able to close the lid.

MAINTENANCE

∙ Check the Vacuum seal for wear. If it becomes thin and too floppy, it will impair the correct

random movement of the cleaner and should be replaced.

∙ Inspect the Regulator Valve and flush away any debris build up.

∙ Clean your filter system.

∙ Empty the Skimmer Basket.

∙ Empty the Pump Strainer Basket.

∙ Use your Flow gauge to insure correct water flow for your cleaner.

∙ For best results and to maintain proper operation, use only original hoses.

∙ Note: Remove the cleaner from the pool before a chemical shock treatment!

∙ When not in the pool, keep the cleaner’s Vacuum seal flat to avoid warping.

∙ Your cleaner can stay in the pool at all times, however, when people are using the pool,

disconnect the cleaner and pull it to one side of the pool.

∙ When storing or winterizing the cleaner, do not coil the hoses. Disconnect each hose section

and lay them flat in an area protected from direct sunlight. It is also important to remove the

Vacuum seal from the cleaner and store it flat.

In-Line Leaf Canisters

If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we suggest purchasing and installing an

in-line leaf canister. A leaf canister will provide more debris-loading capacity and also provides

a water by-pass when the canister is full. It is very important that the pump will not starve for

water!
