the pressure relief valve

2. Install the blue restrictor
disc in the UWF to decrease
water flow. Or, install the red
restrictor disc to decrease
the water flow even more.

(#45) is cycling. Hold the

Action: Feed hose becomes tangled.
Solution: 1. Remeasure the hose to

the proper length for the
pool shape.
2. With the Polaris operating,
check that the swivels (#42)
in the hose and the hose
connections turn freely.
3. Make sure the feed hose is
floating.
4. With the Polaris operating,
hold the cleaner under water
and verify that all three
wheels are turning together.
