CAUTION

| Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or to work under a solar cover. It was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool installation.

OPERATING THE CLEANER

WARNING

| A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI –USA) must be installed to protect your electrical outlet and to prevent any possible electric shock. Failure to do so could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users or others due to electrical shock and may also cause damage to property.
---|---

CAUTION

| DO NOT switch the pool cleaner to “ON” if it is not immersed in the water. Operating the cleaner out of the water may cause severe damage and will result in loss of warranty.

Always remember to turn off the power supply “OFF” and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool.

   WARNING| It is mandatory to allow a safety distance between the power supply and the pool as required by the current installation standard (11.5 feet minimum or 3.5 meters).

WARNING – READ THESE IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS BEFORE USING YOUR UNIT!

Dear Hayward Robotic Cleaner Owner
Thank you for choosing Hayward. In order to achieve optimal performance, please read and follow these steps:

1.  Cleaner filter cartridges should be thoroughly cleaned after each use or as often as needed to ensure cleaner’s optimal performance. (see the Maintenance section for filter cleaning instructions)

2.  Before using your cleaner and especially when opening the pool for the first time remove larger items such as toys, large leaves, or other debris from the pool that may diminish the cleaner’s performance. Clean filter frequently when pool is excessively dirty.

3.  For the first use, run cleaner for the full cycle (3 hours) to ensure a clean pool and give you a full understanding of the cleaner’s capabilities.

4.  Cleaner may periodically go to the wall but not necessarily climb to the vertical position. This is a normal part of the programmed cycle.

5.  Cleaner may stop in the middle of the pool and reverse during cleaning cycle. This is a normal part of the programmed cycle.

6.  DO NOT start cleaner out of the water. Power button should only be switched to “ON” position when unit is fully submerged. The unit will automatically shut off, but it is best to put power switch in
   “OFF” position when unit completes cleaning.

7.  Only plug into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 110-120 volt AC outlet.

8.  Place the cleaner power supply so that it is at a minimum distance of 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) from the pool edge. The length of the standard cleaner cable is 60 feet (18.29 meters).

9.  Depending on the size and shape of your pool the entire length of the floating cable may not be necessary. The floating cable should reach from the cleaner power supply to the furthest point in the pool, plus the depth at the deep end of the pool. To reduce cable tangling any excess cable should be coiled and placed next to the power supply.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Take a moment to get familiar with the cleaner using figure 3. Throughout this manual refers to this figure is made when referring to different components of the cleaner.Remove the cleaner by placing the carton down and removing it from the box as shown. On models which include a caddy cart the cleaner and the Power Supply are pre-mounted to the cart. See the figure 4 for Caddy Cart.

1.  Select the nearest GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 110-120 volt AC outlet.

2.  Place the cleaner power supply so that it is at a minimum distance of 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) from the pool edge. The length of the standard cleaner cable is 60 feet (18.29 meters).

3.  Stretch out the floating cable along the pool deck to remove any twisting the cord has from storage and measure out the approximate amount of cleaner cord needed for pool coverage.

4.  Connect the floating cable to the power supply. Use only the original Power Supply manufactured by Hayward.

5.  Place the cleaner in the pool. It will slowly sink to the bottom of the pool as the air inside is released.

6.  Connect the power supply to the protected outlet and switch it on. The cleaner will perform a self-diagnostics routine before starting the cleaning cycle for several minutes.
   Notice: To reduce risk of injury and prevent damage to the cleaner the start-up sequence the cleaner has been equipped with an out-of-water sensor. Should the cleaner sense that it is not in the water it will power itself down. To reset the cycle switch off the power supply for 10 seconds and restart.

7.  The cleaner will automatically shut off after 3 hours for a full cleaning cycle. If your pool is cleaned in less time than 3 hours, you may shut the cleaner off manually by switching the power supply to the off position. Should a second cleaning cycle be required, switch OFF the power supply for 10 seconds and restart.

8.  After the pool has been cleaned, switch OFF the power supply before removing the cleaner from the pool.

9.  Remove the cleaner from the water at the shallow end of the pool by gently pulling the cable until the cleaner reaches the surface. Then lift it out of the water using the handle, NOT the cable.

10. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

11.  All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician according to local electrical standards (see p16).

Operating the cleaner using an aftermarket timer
If you are using an aftermarket timer to turn your cleaner on please follow these instructions:

1.  Plug the aftermarket timer into the nearest GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 110-120 volt AC outlet and then plug the power supply into the timer.
2.  The cleaner operates on a 3-hour cycle so set the timer duration for 3 hours or more. If you set the timer duration for less than 3 hours the cleaner will only operate for the period of time you set. If you set the timer duration for longer than 3 hours the cleaner will stop automatically at the end of its 3-hour cycle. Should a second cleaning cycle be required, switch OFF the power supply for 10 seconds and restart.

CAUTION: When removing cleaner from the pool do NOT reel it around your arm. The cleaner is heavy and may cause someone to lose their balance and fall into the pool. To avoid falling into the pool, gently reel the cable in hand- over-hand from the shallow end of the pool.

DO NOT ENTER THE SWIMMING POOL WHEN THE CLEANER IS OPERATING
The optimum operating water temperature range for the cleaner is 50ºF – 100ºF (10ºC – 35ºC). Remove the cleaner from the pool, empty the filter bucket and clean filters after each use. Keeping the cleaner permanently in the pool may result in additional service requirements. (see maintenance section for cleaning instructions) Store the cleaner in a shaded area.

MAINTENANCE

Clean the filter cartridge after each use

1. Open the cleaner by pressing the lid button and lifting up the dome cover.
2.  Remove the easy-access filter bucket assembly by lifting it up out of the cleaner with both hands from each side.
3.  Flip the bucket assembly over to remove the debris and then rinse with a garden hose to remove small particles.
4.  Filter cartridges do not need to be removed to clean.
5.  Remove the filter cartridges:
   • Unsnap and lift up both filter door latches.
   • Pull out the filter cartridges. Using a garden hose with a spray nozzle, wash the filter elements to remove debris. Hold the filter elements as shown to allow the debris to fall out. Filter cleaning solution can be used to remove excessive dirt and/or sand. The cleaner your filter is the more effective the cleaning will be.
   •  Wash the entire filter bucket assembly. (Previously shown).
   •  Place the filter cartridges back into the filter bucket assembly with the center frame reinforcements facing inward.
   •  Snap the filter door latches into place.
6.  Return the filter bucket assembly into the cleaner using the diagram shown to determine the front and back.
7.  Close the dome and press the lid button to snap dome into place.

Periodic Cleaning of Moving Parts

WARNING : Disconnect the power supply from the electrical outlet before cleaning moving parts.

•  Inspect the venturi to ensure that no debris or hair has clogged the impeller.
•  The impeller can be cleaned by spraying it with a garden hose.
•  Spray water using a garden hose around the float box assembly to remove any sand or debris to ensure free movement when changing float position.
•  Remove any debris that has accumulated between the tracks and wheels.

Storage
When unit is out of the water, store the cleaner in a dry, shady location at temperatures between 40F – 115F (4°C-46°C).

Cable Care
With continued use, the cable may become coiled (like a telephone cord). To correct this, stretching the cord out in the sun should remove any cord twists.
IMPORTANT: The cable should be checked periodically for any external damage.

WALL CLIMBING FEATURE

•  SharkVac-XL is equipped with patent-pending “movable flotation technology”. Each float position (I, II, and III) will provide different wall climbing actions.
•  Float position “I” is the default position locating the float in the middle of the cleaner and will provide the best cleaning behavior for most swimming pools.
•  Float position “II” will provide an additional angle in the movement where the cleaner will travel along the water line or pool wall faster and benefit from cleaning coverage.
•  Float position “III” will provides a reduced angle in the movement where the cleaner will spend more time scrubbing the pool wall along the water line. This float position will aid the wall climbing feature in pools with slick surfaces such as tile and fiberglass.
•  Method of selection: Position may be set while the cover is closed using the slide handle, or while the cover is opened by moving the float box to the preferred location.

OUT-OF-WATER SENSOR
To better protect the cleaner from damage, it will sense when being asked to turn on when not safely in the water, or leaves the water during operation.

Out of water at start up
Out of water at start-up means that the cleaner has been powered on, either by the user connecting the power supply to the protected outlet and switching it on or by being connected to a timer that switches on the power supply, before the cleaner has been placed in the water. If the cleaner senses that it is not in the water the unit will power itself down. To reset the cycle, switch off the power supply for 10 seconds and restart.

Out of water during operation
Out of water during operation refers to the cleaner leaving or being removed from the water while in the normal operating cycle. If the cleaner senses that it is no longer in the water, the unit will attempt to re-enter the water by reversing its current direction. If the cleaner is not submerged within ninety (90) seconds of leaving the water the unit will power itself down. To reset the cycle, switch off the power supply for 10 seconds and restart.

IMPORTANT TIPS

•  Do not drop or throw the cleaner into the pool. Place cleaner away from the pool wall but do not throw the cleaner in the pool.
•  Cleaning the filter cartridges after every use maximizes the unit’s performance.
•  Replace worn brushes and foam rollers.
•  To avoid clogging the cleaner’s filter elements, be sure all chemical powders are fully dissolved before operating the cleaner.
•  In a pool with high calcium content, more frequent cleaning of the filter cartridges is recommended.
•  Save the original carton for extended storage or shipping requirements should your cleaner require dealer service.
•  The sealed Motor Unit and the Power Supply contain no user-serviceable parts. Opening them will automatically VOID your warranty.
•  Remove items such as thermometers, toys and the like from the pool before operating the unit. Such items can jam the cleaner and cause damage to the unit and/or your pool.
•  The filter bucket is designed to be cleaned with the filters installed for normal clean up. For deep cleaning, the user can remove each filter cartridge and clean it separately.
•  During the normal operating cycle of the cleaner, the handle side of the unit will rise from the pool bottom to allow the unit to clear obstacles, such as elevated main drains and stair steps.
•  For cleaners used in areas that have a lot of sand the cleaner may need to be rinsed with water at all flapper (filter bucket’s flapper is at intake port) areas, and may need rinsing at the dome push button to allow free operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If the cleaner fails to pick up fine or heavy debris
• It may be clogged. Clean the filter. A filter cleaning solution can be used to remove excessive dirt and/or sand.
• If the cleaner starts working momentarily but then stops working
• The impeller may be clogged or jammed with debris, check and clean if necessary following the instructions in the maintenance section.
• The Brush roller or drive tracks may be stuck, check for debris and clean if necessary.
• The cleaner performs by both timing and a pool wall detection sensor, whichever comes first.
•  There are 3 intake ports located at bottom of filter bucket and near the brush roller, check for debris and clean if necessary.
•  The cleaner may get stuck if a high main drain is installed in the pool. The cleaner may remain lodged on the drain for a short period of time, but will eventually free it’s self by virtue of the cleaner’s embedded program.
•  Cleaner performance: Confusion may exist over the perception of how the cleaner operates at different times during each cycle. It is important to judge the performance of the cleaner by observing improved pool cleanliness after the cleaner has run a complete cleaning cycle.
•  If a cleaner has poor coverage of the pool in one cycle or only covers a small area, check the filter and clean if necessary and make sure the unit is not getting caught on drains, in-floor cleaning heads or toys. The user may try starting the cleaner in different locations to find the optimum cleaning location.
•  If debris falls from cleaner while removed from pool, it may be caused by filter overload, increasing frequency of filter cleaning. Assure that there is no large debris blocking any of the three intakes. Large debris must be removed from the pool before using the machine. If drain flaps are out of place or stuck by sand or leaves in the open position, the flaps can be snapped back into place, after cleaning the area.
•  If the flotation cord gets twisted which can be caused by the cleaner getting stuck on large objects such as rocks, toys or main drains, it can be straightened by laying the flotation cord at full length (if possible) in the sun; heat from the sun will help reduce the twisting.
•  If a high level of debris is visible through the dome windows, remove cleaner quickly from the water to reduce the chance of the debris escaping the filter bucket and reentering the pool.
•  If you observe the cleaner spending more than the preferred amount of time on the walls/tile line, return the float position to position I (center/default position).
