Polaris Quattro Sport Troubleshooting

The Polaris Quattro Sport Hose assembly becomes tangled.

Solution:

• Remeasure the hose to verify that it is adjusted to the proper length for the pool shape.
• With the cleaner operating, check that the hose swivels and the hose connections turn freely.
• 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.
• 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.
• Straighten the hose assembly by laying it out flat in the sun.
