Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
When operating correctly, the Polaris vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool.
The climbing ability of the Polaris depends on the pool's shape and water pressure or flow. The Polaris 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 360 goes into back-up mode. This action pulls the Polaris away
from pool obstacles.
Thrust Jet Adjustment
The thrust jet powers the direction of the Polaris. Factory position is
eleven o'clock, but depending on the pool, other settings are helpful.
Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion. To decrease
the motion of the sweep hose, turn the sweep hose adjustment screw
clockwise.
See Troubleshooting for other action adjustments.
Routine Maintenance
Cleaning the Filter Bag
Detach the bag by releasing the prongs and removing the bag tie collar from the feed hose. Open the closure
and dump out the debris.
Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning
or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes to flush out the return lines before
re-connecting the Polaris.
Storage and Winterizing
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain out all the water (freeze damage is
not covered by the warranty). Remove the UWF from the pool wall by attaching the Quick Disconnect and using
pulling pressure to unscrew. In some cases, it may be necessary to use the UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00)
available from participating Polaris dealers.
Empty the bag when it is half full, especially if
the dirt load is sand.
It is easier to empty the bag when it is dry.
Alternate between two bags.
