The Hayward Tiger Shark brush is the portion of the cleaner that scrubs or agitates the surface so as the suction rolls over an area the loosened debris is more likely to be caught in the cleaner's filter cartridge. When the brush becomes worn the Tiger Shark cleaner may have difficulty moving and cleaning.
NOTE: See comments below. A reader may have a much simpler solution to replacing these brushes.

Anonymous (Tiger Shark) - You can find the star pattern screwdrivers at a local hardware store. But I have found that a Phillips head screwdriver will catch the star pattern enough to turn the screws.Reply

what kind on allen key or screwdriver did you use to remove the cover? Nothing I have seems to work, as the screw head for the handle has a weird star pattern.Reply

dvdell920 - Good observation. I think you are right. I will have to find a cleaner and try this myself. Thanks you for your comment!Reply

I replaced my brushes this weekend in all of 10 minutes!! WHY do you say to disassemble the entire machine when the old brushes can be easily removed with scissors and the new ones replaced ON the roll without opening up the machine??Reply

So how did you apply right over the roller without taking the machine apart? Is there a trick to this?Reply

essentially you just be doing steps 11 and 12 of the guide; then, you would try to snake the roller brush between the roller and the body of the cleaner. There is no real trick to it, just what needs to be done.Reply
