Maintenance - Pentair Pool Products Mako Shark Owner's Manual

Maintenance

• Check the Vacuum Seal for wear. If it becomes thin and too fl oppy, it will impair the
correct random movement of the Cleaner and should be replaced.
• Inspect the Regulator Valve and fl ush away any debris build up.
• Clean your fi lter system.
• Empty the Skimmer Basket.
• Empty the Pump Strainer Basket.
• Use your Flow Gauge to insure correct water fl ow 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 fl at 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 fl at in an area protected from direct sunlight. It is also important
to remove the Vacuum Seal from the Cleaner and store it fl at.
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!
