Fine Tuning the Cleaner
When operating correctly, the Polaris
randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability depends on the pool's shape and water
pressure or flow. The Polaris cleaner climbs best in pools without sharp angles or curves
in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall. Approximately every 3-1/2 minutes the
Polaris cleaner goes into back-up mode. This action pulls the Polaris cleaner away from pool
obstacles.
Fine tune your cleaner by adjusting the sweep hose or the
thrust jet as necessary, for optimal operation.
1
Adjust the Sweep Hose
The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion. To increase or
decrease sweeping motion:
1. Turn the filtration pump OFF.
2. Turn the adjustment screw on the feed pipe (r) counterclockwise to
increase sweep hose motion. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to
decrease motion.
2
Adjust the Thrust Jet
If the cleaner is veering left or right instead of tracking straight, adjust the
thrust jet (on the back of the cleaner body) for climbing walls or turning.
NOTE: Factory default setting is
eleven o'clock. Only adjust thrust
jet to accomodate unique pool
shapes.
