SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The KingShark2 automatic swimming pool vacuum cleaner has been
manufactured with the highest degree of care and concern
for safety. We suggest the following safety precautions become part of your
pool safety regulations:
1. ALWAYS PUT THE MACHINE INTO THE WATER BEFORE CON-
NECTING IT TO THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
2. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR SWIMMERS’ SAFETY TO REMOVE
THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING USE. THIS WILL ALSO
IMPROVE THE OPERATING LIFE OF YOUR KINGSHARK2.
3. BE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS ONLY PLUGGED INTO A
GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET EQUIPPED WITH A
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER.
4. DO NOT HANDLE MACHINE WHILE IT IS PLUGGED INTO THE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
5. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. THIS COULD CREATE A
SAFETY HAZARD AND/OR DAMAGE YOUR UNIT.
6. ALWAYS STAY OUT OF THE POOL WHILE CLEANER IS IN
OPERATION.
7. NEVER ALLOW PLUG TO ENTER THE POOL.
8. DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE OUT OF WATER. THIS WILL
DAMAGE THE MOTOR SEAL AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
9. DO NOT DRAG THE MACHINE OUT OF THE POOL AGAINST
THE SIDE WALL. THIS COULD DAMAGE UNIT AND/OR YOUR
POOL WALL.
10. SOME POOLS HAVE A CORNER OR A CORNER STEP CON-
FIGURATION THAT MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO “HANG-UP;”
THEREFORE, DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT COMPLETELY
UNATTENDED FOR MORE THAN 1/2 HOUR. OCCASIONAL
OBSERVATION AND ATTENDANCE CAN ALSO REDUCE ANY
TENDENCY FOR THE CORD TO TWIST.
While the KingShark2 has been made to operate as safely as possible,
we suggest you exercise reasonable care in the handling of the vacuum and
inspect the electrical cord frequently for damage or wear, as with any other
electrical appliance. After use, remove the unit and rinse with fresh water and
remove any twists that may be present in the cord.

GENERAL INFORMATION
You have purchased the finest piece of equipment in the pool cleaner industry. If you
treat it as such, your KingShark2 automatic swimming pool vacuum cleaner will give you
years of satisfactory service. As a suggestion, the unit should be stored in the original
shipping container for safekeeping during the off season.
ADJUSTMENT
THERE IS ONE ADJUSTMENT THAT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR USE IN YOUR
POOL. PLEASE TAKE THE FEW MINUTES NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THIS
SIMPLE PROCEDURE:
The height of the sensor bar #3210 (Page 9, Key 2) is pre-set at the factory for
average pools. It may be necessary to readjust the height of the sensor bar for the
machine to operate satisfactorily in your pool.
In “Free Form” or “Bowl Shaped” pools, the sensor bar may have to be raised to a
higher setting to allow the machine to climb out of the deep end and clean up the
radius or slope as far as possible without the machine turning over.
Adjustment of the sensor bar #3210 (Page 9, Key 2) is made by loosening adjust-
ing arm bolts #2121 B (Page 9, Key D) located just ahead of the intake. With the
machine sitting on a level surface, loosen both adjusting arm bolts, and move sensor
bar to desired position. Make certain the sensor bar is parallel to the level surface
and retighten the adjusting arm.
It may be necessary to reset the sensor bar several times to find the best position
for operation in your pool. Sensor bar should glide freely. This can be checked by
pushing back on the sensor bar which will activate the reversing arms.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Select nearest grounded outlet supply of 110/115/220/240 voltage.
CAUTION: avoid overloaded circuits as low or high voltage can damage your mo-
tor. A connected ground is most important. Plug into outlet. Observe machine as it
travels over bottom of pool.
Allow machine to travel around the pool until it is clean. Average 75' x 150' pool will
required approximately 4 hours. If the pool has a heavy accumulation of debris, it
may be necessary to clean the filter several times during the vacuuming period.
Upon completion of vacuuming the pool, allow the unit to travel to the shallow end
of the pool. Before it reaches the pool wall, turn power off, raise the unit by the white
nylon rope #1312, then remove the unit from the water by use of the handle. Allow
excess water from the filter to drain into the pool with the KingShark2 resting on the
edge or coping. Do not leave machine in water after disconnecting.

REMOVE THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
ALLOWING UNIT TO COOL IN WATER AFTER
RUNNING CAN CAUSE MOTOR SEAL DAMAGE.
To clean the cartridge filters #7807 (Page 10, Key 7) remove the filter housing
assembly #3400 (Page 10, Key 13) by removing the filter knob and releasing the
filter box.
Cleaning the filters after each use is an important part of maintaining your King-
Shark2. Clean filters will allow the machine to function most efficiently.
Disassemble the filter housing assembly #3400 (Page 10, Key l3) by removing the
four (4) filter knobs #3405 (Page 10, Key 3) The filter backplate #3416 (Page 10,
Key 10) and filter cartridges #7807 can then be removed.
Clean cartridges with a water hose using a pressure nozzle.
Use the KingShark2 on a regular basis to keep your pool clean.
MOTOR INFORMATION
The Motor in your KingShark2 has automatic overload protection. The overload
switch will protect the motor against burning out when an obstruction stops the
machine. When an obstruction stops the machine, UNPLUG THE CORD FROM
THE OUTLET and remove the unit from the pool. Turn the machine over and
with the aid of a long screw driver or needle-nose pliers, rotate the impeller and
dislodge any foreign object. All large objects should be removed from the pool
before the KingShark2 is put into operation.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Where to set Sensor Bar
(Make adjustments in 1/4" Increments)
Machine fails to come out of deep end:
Raise sensor bar to allow the machine to climb the incline to shallow end.
Machine turns in circles and twists cord:
Sensor bar too high, hitting hood, or is not level.
Thread on reversing arm #2203 (Page 9, Key 16) is worn or stripped,
not allowing reversing mechanism to disengage.
Drive wheel broken.
Drive belt broken.
Is the unit being run in the pool for too great a length of time? Four
hours in operation in the larger pools should be sufficient with not more
than a few twists in the cord, which should be straightened out after
each vacuuming.
Machine does not pick up:
Filter may be clogged and not permitting the flow of water through the
filter cartridges, (clean filter cartridges).
Large object lodged in the intake or in the impeller housing (remove
object).
Machine does not move:
Not connected to live outlet, (check electrical source).
Object lodged in impeller, (remove object).
A short in the motor, (check the ground fault interrupter for tripping).

possible faulty motor. *Contact service center*
(DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.)
Motor runs but unit becomes motionless (gear box worm is worn or the
drive pin is sheared).
Machine tips over backwards before sensing wall:
Improper sensor bar adjustment, (too high).
Cord too short for pool length. *Contact service center.*
You may need optional float Part No. 7 (Page 13 ) call factory or local
dealer/service center.
Machine tips over before tripping or sensing wall:
Lower sensor bar to ensure it will engage and reverse unit.
KEEP SENSOR BAR LEVEL AT ALL TIMES!
