Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
When operating correctly, the Polaris 480 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 minutes the Polaris 480 goes into back-up mode. This action pulls the
Polaris away from pool obstacles and increases its random pattern.
Thrust Jet Adjustment
The thrust jet powers the direction of the
Polaris. Factory position is straight back, but
depending on the pool, other settings
are helpful.
Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a
gentle sweeping motion. To increase
or decrease the motion of the sweep
hose, turn off the booster pump and
change the sweep hose settings.
There are five easy-click settings
located at the back of the cleaner.
See Troubleshooting for other
action adjustments.

Whenever possible, empty the filter
bag when it is half full, especially if
the dirt load is sand.
It is easier to empty the filter bag
when it is dry. Alternate between
two filter bags. When one becomes
full, remove it and put on the
clean bag.
