why will the tiger shark not move? Why does it just sit there?

You have probably not aligned the cord properly. The cord has a white line. Align this white line with the white line on the box

maybe it is just the pool floor that is slippery or it is seated on a plastic part. try just to pull gently the cord to see if it moves. Always check if the gum crawlers turn, if not , that is the problem. It is supposed to move anyway

Like some of the other responses... It sounds like a power supply issue to me. Check the power line to the controller is aligned correctly. Confirm that the controller has power (the lights are on). Be sure to turn on the power switch. Be sure to push one of the cycle buttons. Good luck.

probably plugged in wrong. the plug to the transformer will fit in about three different ways and only one way works. there are unreadable arrows showing the proper way. i marked the right way with white marks-a-lot.

Do you have it pluged into it power supply correct? It should be marked with a white line match them up and plug it In make sure that you have the Tiger Shark in the water first.

Are the "wheels" spinning? Check that the cord from the power supply to the tigers shark unit is fully inserted. If cord is fully insert and wheels are not spinning, checkbisntou have water discharge from the top of the submerged unit.

WE love our tiger shark unit. Is good with leaves, dirt and debri and small twigs that have blow in from trees. Not sure of sand as we have never had that issue. What I do know is if it ever breaks, I will have a new one ASAP!! Saves so much work. Hope this helps. When we opened the pool I would stop the unit and clean the filters about every 1/2 hour just because there was a lot of debri.

Also- It doesn't swim on its own. It's just a plastic floating fish with lights. I felt it was overpriced.

I have three dogs that do the same thing. I found that if you put the feeder on a tray, with that "non slide" fabric glued on the bottom, that it's so much ha rder to move. a cat shouldn't be able to move it. my dogs, on the other hand, scoot it around. I have an electric cord on it and that helps a bit..... but the non-slide fabric (at WalMart or a camping store) works the best.

Make sure it's unplugged as it's not good for the motor to run without water through it. From memory it slides and there are faint raised lines to grip on to. I used a skewer to do move it.

It has to be in the water. I didn't try pressing it tight against the hull and try measure through the hull, but doesn't seem to be likely it will work. Actually, it doesn't seem to work reliably when the boat is moving too - at speeds above 6 kt I hardly had any success.

If turning it off and on doesn't help, try unplugging it and plugging it back in. Also, check the little bar that runs across the top of the rake, make sure it isn't stuck, it needs to be able to move. I've had them stick many different places, and always got them moving again, may have to apply a LITTLE pressure, just a little push, but usually it will move.

The entire unit motor and all pivots so something might be lose. Ours has very definite clicks that hold it where you adjust it, and no motor change when you move it. We love all of ours, my daughter calls it "the quiet Hurricane"

It is supposed to move for stability with the surface. That is the way it works Phillips

I have this platform on our 60 gallon tank with two turtles, a little bigger than yours. The ramp goes down into the water in the center, which makes them unable to escape by going off the ramp sideways and out over the top. The top has a metal secure wire door, and even if your turtle was strong, you could zip tie or wire tie it closed, although mine have never been able to stand on hind legs to investigate this! :) I will try to post some pictures of it at different angles for you

You stated that it's one of the propellers not moving, question is is the engine working? if yes and maybe just that its loose and requires that these small screw in the center of the propeller needs tightening with a small flat blade screwdriver. I actually did have this happen on mine but beyond that I have to say the boat has been pretty reliable and in fact durable.

No it doesn't float. It just makes noises as if it were actually hovering. It's not really meant to be stood on either. Just more of a collectors piece.

No it cannot be locked in positions. It does seem to stay once set. The issue is to get the treats to be the same size. They tend to let more outthan needed if size treat size varies. My cat can smell treat in toy and stay after it. It is a quest that he enjoys.

My cat sits on top of the cage and can't get in. Although a cat with claws might be able to "nab" a gerbil (that is what we have). The gerbils are not afraid, so their tails to stick out when sitting near the side by the cat. Once, I went in the room and the whole cage was on the floor. Luckily, the gerbils didn't get out, but they could have as one side came loose. Just be sure the tank is on a very sturdy surface. Mine is on a night stand and hangs over some as we have two of these on tanks side by side.

Sounds like either you are not placing the rubber tube snuggly over the hose or your pet is moving it. I have placed ours on a skid proof mat (my dog is a sloppy drinker!) so it stays positioned correctly. That might help.

it sits on the top but once the ice pop sticks are in place it is held firm. it doesn't move around at all because the sticks prevent it from moving.
