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
WARNING
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.

seating areas.
2. Theendofthehoseshouldbewithin6″(15cm),longerorshorter,of
farthest point.
• If hose is too short, add a feed hose section with floats, a swivel and two
hose nuts, available through your local Polaris dealer. Adjust to proper
length.
3. Cutthehosesothatitiswithin6”(15cm)ofthefarthestpoint.

6 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®logo latch is not a handle.
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.
5. Targetwheelspeedis28 to 32 RPM. If wheel speed is not in target range, refer to
Section 7 Adjust Wheel Speed.

7 Adjust the Wheel Speed
< 28 RPM
• Check the filter screen in the in-line filter
assembly (e) for debris that restricts
water flow.
• Clean the skimmer, filter, and pump
basket, clearing debris that restricts
water flow.
• Check the hoses and connections
for leaks that cause loss of water
pressure.
• Check hose swivels (l) for for
excessive leaking or spraying.
Verify flow direction arrow ( ) is
toward the cleaner.
• Remove the blue restrictor disk (h)
from the UWF®(g).
> 32 RPM
• Replace the blue restrictor disk with
the red restrictor disk (h).
• Loosen the pressure relief valve (f1)
until proper RPM is reached.
NOTE: The Pressure Relief Valve
should only be adjusted when a
restrictor disk is installed.

Thrust Jet Position
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.
The thrust jet powers the direction of
the cleaner. Factory position is three
(3)o’clock,but,dependingonthepool,
other thrust jet positions can be helpful
to improve cleaner coverage.
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.
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.
Thrust jet sprays too much
water out of pool.
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.

Problem Solution
Cleaner is sluggish, running with less
power than normal or not
moving.
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. Check the filter screen and the in-line filter and
clean, if necessary.
4. Clean the skimmer basket, pump basket, and pool
filter.
5. Check all of the hoses, connections, and swivels for
leaks that could cause loss of water pressure.
Cleaner does not climb walls. 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. 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.
3. Check for debris in the filter canister and clean, if
necessary.
4. Adjust the thrust jet. Refer to Section 8 Fine
Tuning.
5. For smooth surface pools (tile, fiberglass, etc.),
replace both rear tires with PosiTrax®tires for
more traction (available from a Polaris®dealer).
Smooth Surface Pools (tile, fiberglass, etc.)
Problem Solution
Not enough traction on smooth
surface pools (tile,
