• 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.

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.
