WARNINGS
-
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 fi tting) 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 suffi cient water fl ow!
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 qualifi ed
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 fi ttings. Do not
install the MakoShark pool cleaner before having a qualifi ed professional perform
the necessary repairs.
