Zodiac International G4 - Manual (Page 11)

Quick Access Cassette System
Foreign objects, such as children’s toys, tree branches and rocks, should be removed manually from your pool prior to operating your
Zodiac G4. If a blockage should occur, the Quick Access Cassette System will allow you to check the diaphragm for damage and
remove the blockage in minutes at poolside.
DIAPHRAGM REMOVAL
Unscrew cassette (Step 1) and remove from head (Step 2). Loosen swivel pipe (Step 3). Pull out diaphragm & inner pipe (Step 4). Pull
diaphragm from inner pipe (Step 5) and inspect for blockage or cuts. Remove blockage and rinse. Do not use sharp objects as damage to
diaphragm may occur. If replacement parts are needed, contact technical service at 1-888-786-7797 for an authorized warranty station.
DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY
Prior to reinstalling the diaphragm, rinse the diaphragm and the inner extension pipe thoroughly to remove any grit or algae. Be sure
the retaining ring is on the diaphragm, then push diaphragm onto inner pipe (Step 6). Insert inner pipe into diaphragm chamber and seat
diaphragm against lip (Step 7). Tighten cassette assembly (Step 8). Insert cassette into head (Step 9) and tighten handnut (Step 10).

To maintain quality, performance and increase the lifespan of your Zodiac G4, please do the following:
1. Thoroughly clean the skimmer basket, pump basket and pool filter on a regular basis. Always disconnect the hose from the
skimmer before backwashing.
2. REMOVE THE CLEANER BEFORE SUPER CHLORINATING OR ADDING POOL CHEMICALS. Reinstall the Zodiac
G4 when the imbalance is corrected or after a minimum of 4 hours from super chlorination. Chemical damage is not covered
under warranty.
3. NEVER COIL THE HOSE when the cleaner is removed from the pool. A coiled hose can be straightened with hot water or by
laying it on a warm pool deck for several hours.

4. Periodically inspect parts for wear. The footpad and disc are the most critical. When the depth of the channels between the treads
of the footpad are 1/8" or less, replace the footpad.
