Use of non genuine Hayward manufactured parts will void all warranty. Page 4 of 18 SharkVAC XL™ Pilot Robotic cleaner Rev. C Dear Hayward Robotic Cleaner Owner: Thank you for choosing Hayward. In order to achieve optimal performance, please read and follow these steps:

1. Cleaner lter 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 rst time remove larger

items from the pool that may diminish the cleaner’s performance. Clean lter frequently when pool is excessively dirty.

3. For the rst use, run cleaner for the full cycle (4 hours) to ensure a clean pool and give yourself 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. Plug in only to a protected 230 V

outlet that is close and protected from short circuits. Fit a 30 mA differential protection device to protect people from electric shock caused by a possible break in the electrical insulation.

8. Place the cleaner power supply so that it is at a minimum distance of 3.5 meters from the pool edge.

WALL CLIMBING FEATURE

SharkVAC XL™ Pilot is equipped with patent pending “movable otation technology”. Each oat position (I, II, and III) will provide different wall climbing action. Float position “I” is the default position locating the oat 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 benet 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 oat position will aid the wall climbing feature in pools with slick surfaces such as tile and berglass. 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 oat box to the preferred location.Hayward only guarantees the quality, performance and safety of its products when assembled with genuine Hayward manufactured parts. Use of non genuine Hayward manufactured parts will void all warranty. Page 13 of 18 SharkVAC XL™ Pilot Robotic cleaner Rev. C

BOTTOM ONLY CLEANING FEATURE

The bottom only mode can be used when you want to only clean the bottom of your pool or when you are using a pool cover. Its primary feature is to clean the pool faster by only cleaning the pool bottom when the walls do not need cleaning. The bottom only mode is very useful when the pool is equipped with a hard cover by staying on the bottom the cleaner avoids hitting or damaging the cleaner or the cover when it is closed. During the season and for regular cleaning, the bottom only mode is faster and more energy efcient IMPORTANT TIPS

• Avoid dropping or throwing machine into pool. Place cleaner away from the pool wall but do not throw the cleaner in the pool.

• Cleaning the lter cartridge after every use maximizes the unit’s performance.

• Replace worn brushes and foam rollers.

• To avoid clogging the cleaner’s lter 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 lter 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 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.

• The lter bucket is designed to be cleaned with the lters installed for normal clean up. For deep cleaning, the user can remove each lter cartridge and clean 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 apper (lter bucket’s apper is at intake port) areas, and may need rinsing at the dome push button to allow free operation.Hayward only guarantees the quality, performance and safety of its products when assembled with genuine Hayward manufactured parts. Use of non genuine Hayward manufactured parts will void all warranty. Page 14 of 18 SharkVAC XL™ Pilot Robotic cleaner Rev. C TROUBLESHOOTING

• If the cleaner fails to pick up ne or heavy debris: ο Clean the lter. It may be clogged. A lter cleaning solution can be used to remove excessive dirt and/or sand

• If the cleaner starts working momentarily but then stops working: ο Impeller may be clogged or jammed with debris, check and clean if necessary following the instructions in the maintenance section. ο Brush roller or drive tracks may be stuck, check for debris and clean if necessary. o Cleaner performs by both timing and a pool wall detection sensor, whichever comes rst. o There are 3 intake ports located at bottom of lter bucket and near the brush roller, check for debris and clean if necessary.

• Cleaner may get stuck if a high main drain is installed in the pool. 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.

• Perception of 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 lter and clean if necessary and make sure the unit is not getting caught on drains, oor cleaning heads or toys. The user may try starting the cleaner in different locations to nd the optimum cleaning location.

• If debris falls from cleaner while removing from pool, it may be caused by lter overload, increase frequency of lter cleaning. Assure that there is no large debris blocking any of the three intakes. Large debris must be removed from the pool before using machine. If drain aps are out of place or stuck by sand or leaves in the open position, the aps can be snapped back into place, after cleaning the area.

• If the otation 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 otation 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 lter 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 oat position to position I (center/default position).Hayward only guarantees the quality, performance and safety of its products when assembled with genuine Hayward manufactured parts.
