IMPORTANT TIPS • Cleaning the filter cartridge after every use maximizes the unit's performance. • If the TigerShark has trouble climbing the pool walls during the middle of the cleaning cycle, clean the filter and resume cleaning. Replace worn brushes (#12) to ensure maximum cleaning performance. • If granular chemicals are used in the pool on a daily basis, an automatic or floating dispenser is recommended, as it retains the calcium sediment sometimes contained in granular chlorine. • It is recommended not to operate the TigerShark until all chemical powder is dissolved because it can clog the filter. • In a pool with usually high calcium content, more frequent cleaning of the filter is recommended. • Save the TigerShark original carton for extended storage or shipping requirements should your TigerShark require dealer service (page 13, Fig. j). • The sealed Motor Unit (#13) and the Power Supply (#1) contain no user-serviceable parts. Opening them will automatically VOID your warranty. • Remove items such as thermometer, toys and the like from the pool before using the unit. Such items can jam the unit and cause damage to the unit and/or your pool. TROUBLE SHOOTING If TigerShark cannot climb pool walls: • Clean the filter. It may be clogged or too heavy from excessive debris. • Brushes may be worn. Inspect brushes and replace if worn. If TigerShark fails to pick up fine or heavy debris: • Clean the filter. It may be clogged. • An optional high velocity inlet is available from your dealer which clips on to the bottom lid (page 10, Fig. c). This inlet creates extra suction for lifting fine or heavy debris. This part also can be helpful if unit becomes routinely stuck on a raised main drain. If TigerShark starts working momentarily but then stops working: • Impeller may be clogged or jammed with debris. Check and clean if necessary following the instructions in the maintenance section on page 7. • Brush rollers or drive tracks are stuck. Check for debris and clean if necessary. • TigerShark is out of the water. Put TigerShark in water and reset the power.
