PoolShark
®
Installation and User’s Guide
Problem Corrective Action
If the PoolShark
®
tracks in a repetitive pattern:
Check the pool return line water flow and redirect it as necessary
with a return line eyeball diverter (see “To install the eyeball
diverter”, on
page 15).
Check the PoolShark’s hose to be sure that it has not become bent
or kinked. Do not coil the hose, as it will retain the coiled shape and
reduce the cleaning coverage.
To check the hose, lay each hose section flat on the pool deck (or
another flat surface) and look down the length of the hose. It
should be perfectly flat and straight. Replace any sections which
are bent or kinked.
Check the oscillator for: damage; lost seals (there should be 4
seals): obstructed seals (seals should slide freely on the oscillator).
Be sure that the short, soft flexible leader hose section is the first
section in the hose assembly (next to the cleaner).
Square Bottom Pools Only:
If the transition radius between your pool’s floor and wall is small
and the PoolShark
®
will not climb the pool walls, then you have a
square bottom pool. If so, remove the cleaner from the pool and
drill two holes in the indentations in the bumper (see Figure 33).
This will provide an outlet for air which would otherwise accumulate
in the hollow bumper. This air, from microscopic bubbles suspended
in the pool water, is normally able to escape when the PoolShark
®
climbs the pool walls.
NOTICE:
DO NOT drill the holes if your PoolShark® CAN climb
the pool walls!
