WARNING Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. WARNING Do NOT ground to a gas supply line. WARNING To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to all electrical equipment before working on WARNING Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
electrical connections.
WARNING Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
WARNING Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements. Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general wiring procedures.
WARNING Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using. CAUTION The pump is intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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. 2. Before using your cleaner and especially when opening the pool for the first time remove larger items from the pool that may diminish the cleaner's performance. Clean filter frequently when pool is excessively dirty. 3. Cleaner may periodically go to the wall but not necessarily climb to the vertical position. This is a normal part of the programmed cycle.
4. Cleaner may stop in the middle of the pool and reverse during cleaning cycle. This is a normal part of the programmed cycle. 5. 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. 6. Only plug into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 110-120 volt AC outlet (220-240 volt for 240 volt models). 7. Place the cleaner power supply so that it is at a minimum distance of 10 feet from the pool edge. The length of the standard cleaner cable is 55 feet.

ISRC10202 REV C
4. 5. 6.
Select the nearest GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 110-120 volt AC outlet (220-240 volt for 240 volt models). Place the power supply (page 9, #1) so that the TigerShark can reach all the walls of the swimming pool and the power supply is at a minimum distance of 10 feet from the pool edge (page 13 Fig. a). The length of the standard TigerShark cable is 55 feet. (TigerShark2 cable is 100 feet). Connect the floating cable (page 9, #2) to the power supply. Use only the original TigerShark Power Supply manufactured by Hayward Pool Products. The TigerShark has an adjustable handle (page 9, #3). The handle must be locked in a diagonal position in order to ensure optimal cleaning results. The handle has two diagonal positions. Reverse handle positions after each use. (page 13, Fig. b) to minimize cord twisting. Place the TigerShark in the pool. It will slowly sink to the bottom of the pool as the air inside is released. Submersing by hand is helpful. Connect the power supply to the GFCI protected outlet and switch to the on position. The TigerShark will perform a selfdiagnostics routine for several minutes before starting the cleaning cycle.
7.
Caution: DO NOT switch power supply ON when the TigerShark is out of water. This may result in damage to the pump & drive motor seals, which will VOID the warranty. The TigerShark will automatically shut off after a cleaning cycle of 4 hours. (90 minutes for Quik Clean, or 7 hours for the TigerShark2). If your pool is cleaned in less time than 4 hrs, you may shut the TigerShark 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. 9.
Caution: When pulling the cable, reel it in hand-over-hand - DO NOT reel it around your arm. Optimum operating water temperature range for the TigerShark is 50F - 100F.
After the pool has been cleaned, switch OFF the power supply before removing the TigerShark from the pool. Remove the TigerShark from the water at the shallow end of the pool by pulling the cable until the TigerShark reaches the surface. Then lift it out of the water using the handle, NOT the cable.
Remove the TigerShark from the pool after each use and store in the shade. Keeping the TigerShark permanently in the pool may result in additional service requirements.

WATERLINE SCRUBBING
Check the waterline climbing height
1. 2. Make sure your TigerSharks filter is clean. See Owners Manual (page 10) for instructions. Place the unit in the pool and observe the waterline climbing height. When observing, allow the unit to go through several cycles so that you can get an average estimate. When at the waterline, if the unit regularly makes an excessive clinking sound, intakes air into the bottom inlet, falls off the wall rather than reversing back down, or has a tendency to stay in the same area of the pool, the unit is most likely climbing too high. For a visual illustration of the optimal climbing height, see images below.
3.
3. 4.
If your units average climbing height is incorrect, it can be corrected by installing a Thrust Restrictor Plate. Install the restrictor plate as shown in Figure #2 (on this page) by placing restrictor plate in the slot and rotate clock wise to lock in place. Restrictor insert may be needed if cleaner is still climbing too high. Figure #3 (on this page) shows the proper installation of the restrictor plate.

To operate this Remote Control you must press on the ARROW buttons (along the right side of this remote). Pressing on the text buttons (along the left side of this remote) will not operate your cleaner. Be sure to aim hand held toward power supply, not the unit. Be sure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the power supply. The distance between the remote control and power supply should not exceed 75 feet. Moving closer will ensure better reception. The batteries in the remote control may need to be replaced. (Requires one CR2032 lithium battery) The overload protection breaker located on the front of the power supply may be tripped. To reset depress the small black button located above the flotation cord connection on the power supply. The Turning Foot may be lodged with debris. Turn cleaner off and remove from the pool. Manually work foot in and out to clear any debris, foot should slide easily. For remote control units with foam rollers, before operating the transmitter, cleaner must be in water for at least 15 minutes to avoid cleaner from floating.

MAINTENANCE
Clean the filter cartridge after each use: Place the TigerShark on its side. Release the bottom lid latches (page 13, Fig. d) and remove the bottom lid assembly (page 14, Fig. e). Pull out the filter cartridge. Your cartridge is a three piece filter assembly (Part# RCX70100) that you may or may not remove the elements (Part# RCX70101) for thorough cleaning. Using a garden hose with a spray nozzle, pressure-wash the filter elements to remove debris. Hold the filter elements as shown to allow the debris to fall out (page 14, Fig. f). Wash the inside of the bottom lid. Replace the filter cartridge into the TigerShark (page, 14 Fig. g). Install bottom lid and slide latches into lock position. Filter cleaning solution can be used to remove D.E., excessive dirt and/or sand. Remember: The cleaner your filter is, the more efficient your unit will perform.
Inspect the pump outlet to ensure that no debris or hair has clogged the impeller. The impeller can be cleaned by removing the impeller tube (page 9, #9) by twisting (rotating) it (page 6, Fig 2). Remove any debris that has accumulated between the tracks (page 9, #10) and wheels (page9, #11).
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply from electrical outlet before cleaning moving parts.
Storage
When it is out of the water, store your TigerShark on its side in a dry, shady location at temperatures between 40F - 115F.
Cable Care
With continued use, the cable may become coiled (like a telephone cord). To correct this, lock the handle in the opposite diagonal position (page 13, Fig. b). The TigerShark will then circle the pool in the opposite direction and uncoil the cable. Also, periodically stretching the cord out in the sun should remove any cord twists. Reverse handle position after each use to avoid cable coiling.
IMPORTANT: The cable should be checked periodically for any external damage.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by manufacture, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

ISRC10202 REV C
IMPORTANT TIPS
Cleaning the filter cartridge after every use maximizes the units performance. If the TigerShark has troubles climbing the pool walls during the middle of the cleaning cycle, clean the filter and resume cleaning. Replace worn brushes (page 9, #12) to ensure maximum cleaning performance. To avoid clogging the TigerSharks filter elements, be sure all chemical powders are fully dissolved before operating the cleaner. 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 (page 9, #13) and the Power Supply (page 9, #1) contain no user-serviceable parts. Opening the Motor Unit will automatically VOID your warranty. Remove items such as thermometer, 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
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. See (page 13, Fig. c) Clip the high velocity inlet to the bottom lid. 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 (page 10). 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.
