Zodiac BARACUDA ZIPPY Guide Du Propriétaire page 7

Your Zippy utilizes the patented Star Control Assembly which allows you to regulate the cleaner's
flow to the optimal level with 2 simple steps.
Step 1: Turn on the pump.
Step 2: To set the flow, grasp the small end of the Star Control that is attached to the 2 ft. hose in
one hand. With your other hand, grasp the white adjusting nut of the Star Control.
Slowly turn the adjusting nut clockwise to increase flow to the cleaner or counter-clockwise to decrease
flow. Adjust the nut until the green indicator line on the inside of the Star Control aligns with the yellow color
band in the indicator gauge.
The Zippy cleaner should move about the pool, intermittently slowing down or stopping as it contacts
wrinkles or walls. As it slows or stops, the jet nozzle should swing freely, propelling the Zippy in a
different direction.
Star Control Assembly
Depending upon the size and conditions in your aboveground pool and the size of your pump, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease the flow. Please refer to the following guide for optimal operation of the
Star Control.
Indicator Color
Blue
Black
Yellow
Orange
Red
Condition
The flow is not sufficient to run Zippy properly. Increase the flow by turn-
ing the Star Control Assembly clockwise until the green indicator line
aligns with the yellow area on the indicator gauge.
The flow is low for the majority of pools. If the cleaner does not cover
the entire pool, increase the flow to the yellow indicator range.
Optimal setting for the large majority of aboveground pools.
The flow is higher than normal. However, this setting may be required for
certain very large pools.
The flow is excessive. Reduce the flow by turning the Star Control
Assembly counter-clockwise until the green indicator line aligns with
the yellow area on the indicator gauge.
