Polaris Vac-Sweep 360 - Manual (Page 8)

www.polarispool.com
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.
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 (par t #10-102-00) available from
participating Polaris dealers.
Routine Maintenance
Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
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.
