Hayward RCX40117 Drive Pin Assembly (For Drive Motor) — SharkVac / SharkVac XL / TigerShark

The Hayward RCX40117 is an OEM drive pin assembly used on select Hayward robotic pool cleaners. This small but critical part connects the drive motor output to the drive mechanism so the cleaner can move and climb normally. Replace it when the robot runs but won’t drive, slips, clicks, or has inconsistent traction.

Fits / Compatibility

  • Hayward SharkVac robotic cleaners
  • Hayward SharkVac XL robotic cleaners
  • Hayward TigerShark robotic cleaners (including common TigerShark variants)
  • Commonly referenced cleaner models include RC9740 and RC9742 (verify your exact model before ordering)

What It Fixes

  • Cleaner powers on and cycles, but doesn’t move or only moves intermittently
  • Erratic drive behavior (slipping, stuttering, or “free-spinning”)
  • Worn or damaged drive connection components during a drive-motor service

What’s Included

  • 1 Drive Pin Assembly (RCX40117)

Installation Notes

  • Disconnect the cleaner from power before servicing.
  • Access is typically through the drive-side housing near the drive motor output.
  • Inspect surrounding drive parts while you’re in there—worn tracks, bearings, or gears can accelerate pin wear.
  • After replacement, run a short test cycle to confirm smooth drive engagement and normal movement.

Specs (Quick Reference)

  • Part Number: RCX40117
  • Part Type: Robotic Cleaner Drive Component

Maintenance Tips

  • Rinse the cleaner (especially the drive side and tracks) with fresh water after use to reduce grit wear.
  • If the robot slips or struggles on walls, inspect tracks/brushes and remove any wrapped debris around drive components.
  • Avoid lifting the robot by the cord; store the cord loosely coiled to reduce strain on connectors.
  • If movement issues return quickly after replacement, inspect the drive motor output and internal drive train for wear.
