SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION
1
It is much easier to assemble your new ZODIAC G4 automatic pool cleaner beside
the skimmer box of your pool.
PRE-INSTALLATION OF POOL CLEANER:
Step 1: Where main drain is connected to your skimmer box, block off the access
to the main drain
Step 2: Manually vacuum your pool
Step 3: Clean the filter and empty the skimmer basket(s) and the pump strainer
basket according to the manufacturer’s instructions
NOTE: The circulation system must be operating at its maximum water flow when
you install the Zodiac G4 otherwise re-adjustment will be necessary when
you clean the filter and baskets
Step 4: Adjust the water flow from all return inlets (a) downward and toward
each other (or (b), downward and toward the centre of the pool).
NOTE: If no return inlet directional fittings exist, or directionals cannot be
directed far enough down to prevent water flow from affecting the natural
movement of the Zodiac hose, you must install Zodiac return line diverters. They
are available through your Zodiac dealer.
FOR POOLS WITH RETURN INLET EYEBALLS,TURN EYEBALL DOWN

INSTALLATION
1) Firmly push the wheel deflector (part #5) onto the hose wheel adaptor until it
clicks into place.
2) Firmly push the pink leader hose adaptor (part # 7) onto the end of the hose
wheel adpator. Submerge cleaner head to remove all air.
3) Select a hose length and clip the hose weight (part # 4) onto the end that
does not have the Baracuda stamp. This will be your first hose length.
4) 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. (part #11)
Continue attaching hose lengths until you reach the required length for your pool,
submerging each length as you go.

ADJUSTMENT SUGGESTIONS
CORRECT BALANCING
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. However, the return line pressure can
be used to balance cleaning coverage or to guide the cleaner away from steps
and corners.
A return line located anywhere along the shaded area can be utilised to gently push
the hose, allowing your ZODIAC G4™ to free itself from in-pool obstacles (Diagram
2).

SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION
Before connecting hose to fittings in the skimmer box it is essential that all air is
removed from the cleaner head and hose.
6) 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.
Tip:
Tip: if hoses are difficult to connect, have a bucket of warm water handy to dip the
end of the hose into. This will soften and expand the plastic allowing a snug fit.

SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION
7) The use of Zodiac’s adjustable auto control valve with bypass (part # 6) 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 (ie: when
people are swimming in the pool). It regulates the flow of water to the pump
from the pool cleaner. Skimming action is maintained through the bypass in the
valve. As the filter collects debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct
flow to the cleaner. This valve comes preset at the factory to obtain maximum
pool cleaning efficiency.
If your water flow requires a higher or lower setting, you can adjust the valve to one
of three settings (high, medium or low).You will only need to adjust the valve if the
following occurs:
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Your Zodiac G4 pool cleaner should now be working. If it is not working correctly,
please go to our troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.
The Zodiac G4 pool cleaner is
performing too fast and/or climbing
above the level of the water
The Zodiac G4 pool cleaner is
performing slowly and/or is not climbing
the pool walls
Reduce Adjustable Auto Control Valve to
medium or low setting
Increase Adjustable Auto Control Valve
to medium or high setting. Make sure
the filter baskets are clean.
TURNING YOUR ZODIAC G4 OFF IS
MADE EASY WITH THE ADJUSTABLE
AUTO CONTROL VALVE WITH BYPASS
If you do not want your pool cleaner to operate whilst
pump and filter are operating then simply depress the
red pivoted arm (A) until it locks
open the flow door.
To recommence pool cleaner
operation, release the pivoted arm
(A) by pressing down on
the flow door (B)
It’s that simple!
