SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION It is much easier to assemble your new ZODIAC G4 automatic pool cleaner beside the skimmer box of your pool.
SECTION 6 – POOL PULSE POOL PULSE®: 5 6 6 5 2 3 4 4 3 2 O 1 The Pool Pulse® is a flow meter that measures the volume of water flowing through your Zodiac cleaner. It must be used to properly set the flow and can be used as a diagnostic tool when the cleaner isn’t running properly. 1 0 IDEAL Showing Setting 2 TOO HIGH Showing Setting 3 TOO LOW Showing Setting 1 HOW TO USE POOL PULSE®: Pool Pulse® can only be used if the filtration system is on.
SECTION 5 – DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY: Prior to reinstalling the diaphragm, rinse the diaphragm and the inner extension pipe thoroughly to remove any grit or algae. Make sure grey retaining ring is fitted onto diaphragm.
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION INSTALLATION 1) Firmly push the wheel deflector onto the hose wheel adaptor until it clicks into place. 2) Select a hose length and clip the hose weight onto the end that does not have the Baracuda stamp. This will be your first hose length. 3) Attach the end of the first hose length with the Baracuda stamp, to the pink leader hose adaptor, on the end of the hose wheel adaptor.
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION Before connecting hose to the fittings in the skimmer box it is essential that all air is removed from the cleaner head and hose. 4) For pools with more than one skimmer box; close off all suction points except for the one the cleaner will be operating from. This provides the cleaner with maximum suction. The hose is now ready to be attached to the fittings in the skimmer box.
SECTION 4 – DIAPHRAGM REMOVAL DIAPHRAGM REMOVAL Step 1: Holding the frame assembly in one hand, unscrew the blue hand nut (approximately four turns anti-clockwise). Step 1 Step 2: Pull the cassette out of the inner head body. Step 2 Step 3: Grasp the cassette in one hand and unscrew the inner extension pipe (approximately four turns anti-clockwise), then remove from the cassette. Step 3 Step 4: Grasp the lip of the diaphragm (yellow end) and pull the diaphragm out.
SECTION 3 – CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE & MAINTENANCE: Hose: Sunlight (ultraviolet rays), water and pool chemicals create a harsh environment. To increase the lifespan of the Zodiac G4 and hose, you should: 1. Remove the Zodiac G4 from the pool before Super Chlorinating and reinstall it a minimum of four hours later. 2. Always disconnect the hose from the skimmer or vacuum line before backwashing your filter. 3. Always store the hose straight.
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT SUGGESTIONS CORRECT BALANCING Diagram 1: Positioning of the hose weight Proper balancing must be accomplished in the DEEPEST area of the pool. The buoyancy of the hose tends to LIFT the ZODIAC G4™ especially in deeper water. The hose weight is provided to help neutralise the buoyant effect of the hose. POOL COVERAGE Normally it is undesirable for the return line water flow to affect the natural movement of your ZODIAC hose.
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION AD FLOW VALVE The use of the Zodiac AD Flow Valve is recommended on pools with only one skimmer box/suction point, or when the filtration system needs to be used but the pool cleaner does not, such as when people are swimming in the pool. It regulates the flow of water to the pump through the pool cleaner. As the filter collects debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the cleaner. For installation of the AD Flow Valve see below: AD Flow Valve 1. 2. 3.
