WARNING

To avoid risk of potentially serious injury:

• Do not handle the Polaris cleaner while it is operating, except when checking the wheel RPM.

• Always remove the Polaris cleaner before swimmers enter the pool.

CAUTION

USE OF A POLARIS QUATTRO IN A VINYL LINER POOL Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by

objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, oats, fountains, chlorine

dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation

process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC and its afliates and

subsidiaries are not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

Check for Proper Wheel RPM

Before operating the cleaner, check for proper wheel revolutions per minute (RPM). For maximum efficiency, the cleaner should operate between 28 and 32 RPM.

IMPORTANT: Keep the cleaner submerged for accurate wheel speed count.

1. Turn on the filtration pump and allow it to prime.

2. Turn on the booster pump, the cleaner will begin to move.

3. With both pumps on, pull the cleaner to the waterline and keep submerged. CAUTION: Always lift the cleaner using the handle and take care to avoid possible hair entanglement when leaning over. NOTE: The Polaris

4. Using the Polaris logo on the left-front wheel as a reference, count wheel revolutions (RPM) for 1 minute. If wheels change direction during timing, start over.

Fine Tuning

When operating correctly, the Polaris® cleaner vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly

throughoutthepool.Theclimbingabilitydependsonthepool’sshapeandwaterpressureorflow.

The cleaner climbs best in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall. Fine tune your cleaner for optimal operation, as necessary.

Thrust Jet Position

The thrust jet powers the direction of the cleaner. Factory position is three

other thrust jet positions can be helpful to improve cleaner coverage.

Thrust Jet Flow

Adjust the flow by turning counter-clockwise to decrease and clockwise to increase.

If needed, use a wrench to loosen the square nut, fine tune and then tighten to secure.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Hose assembly

becomes tangled.

1. Remeasure the hose to verify that it is adjusted to the proper length for the pool shape.

2. With the cleaner operating, check that the hose swivels and the hose connections turn freely.

3. Ensure the hose is floating and the hose floats are positioned properly. Position the first float (k) up against the feed hose connector (j) and then space hose floats 1-3 ft (30-90 cm) apart.

4. Check the wheel RPM. Target wheel speed is 28-32 RPM. If wheel speed is not in target range, refer to Section 7 Adjust Wheel Speed.

5. Straighten the hose assembly by laying it out flat in the sun.

Cleaner hangs up on steps or other

obstacles for longer than

3 minutes.

Thrust jet sprays too much

water out of pool.

1. Check the wheel RPM. Target wheel speed is 28-32 RPM. If wheel speed is not in target range, refer to Section 7 Adjust Wheel Speed.

2. Check for debris in the filter canister and clean, if necessary.

3. Ensure the hose is floating and the hose floats are positioned properly. Position the first float (k) up against the feed hose connector (j) and then space hose floats 1-3 ft (30-90 cm) apart.

4. Adjust the thrust jet. Refer to Section 8 Fine

Tuning.

5. Remove unnecessary pool hardware or install a Ladder Guard Kit (part # G21) from a Polaris® dealer.

6. Install a Back-Up Valve accessory (part # G62,

blackorpart#G52,white)fromaPolarisdealer.

Additional hose nuts and swivel may be required. Position the back-up valve and its adjacent hose float 6-8 ft (1.8 - 2.4m) away from the cleaner.

Check the thrust jet position and adjust thrust jet flow, if necessary. Refer to Section 8 Fine Tuning.

Cleaner does not clean

the entire pool.

1. Ensure the hose length is adjusted to the proper length for the pool shape. Refer to Section 3

Adjust Hose Length.

2. Adjust the thrust jet to improve coverage. Refer to Section 8 Fine Tuning.
