cord, 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 MakoShark 2 DC resting on the edge or coping.
Do not leave the machine in the water after disconnecting.
5. When opening the filter for cleaning, move the machine away from the pool edge so
that when filter casing is opened the vacuumed debris will not spill in the pool.
6. Cleaning the filter after each use is the most important part of maintaining your
MakoShark 2 DC. Clean filters will allow the machine to function most efficiently.
7. Remove the filter by first removing the two push clips as shown below.
Fig 1
Following the removal of the push clips, gently grasp the rear filter plate with the thumbs
pressed firmly against the tie rod ends and remove rear plate.
8. Wash the cartridges with a water hose, using a pressure nozzle. Wash outside, then back
wash from the inside.
9. Use the MakoShark 2 DC on a regular basis to keep your pool clean.
MOTOR INFORMATION
MakoShark 2 DC 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 MakoShark 2 DC is put into operation.
