Polaris Quattro P40 Sport Pool Cleaner Problems

The Polaris Quattro P40 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 the space hose floats 1-3 ft (30-90 cm) apart.
  • Check the wheel RPM. The target wheel speed is 28-32 RPM. If the wheel speed is not in the target range, refer to Section 7 Adjust Wheel Speed.
  • Straighten the hose assembly by laying it out flat in the sun.
