Important Information, Serial # K | Polaris 380 specification

Important Information

The Polaris Vac-Sweep®380 automatic pool cleaner comes ready to connect to a threaded 1-1/2" female pipe fitting on a dedicated return line. Other connections are possible, but they require additional fittings (see Section B on page 4).

The Polaris 380 is intended for use with a Polaris Booster Pump. You should have a licensed electrician install the cleaner’s booster pump. The booster pump must be installed according to the electrical codes applicable in your area. Improper installation can result in serious or even fatal injury.

The following are important points to remember when installing and operating the Polaris 380.

•Always turn the filtration pump on before turning on the booster pump.

•Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall when cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.

•After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes before reconnecting the Polaris.

•New plumbing lines should be flushed out before installing the Polaris.

•The Polaris should not be used to remove plaster dust in new pools.

•Always remove the Polaris before swimmers enter the pool.

•Always handle the Polaris with care. Do not let children or pets play with the Polaris; it is not a toy.

•Except when checking the wheel RPM, do not handle the Polaris while it is operating (see page 7).

•Never pick up the Polaris by the head float.

•Always remove the Polaris from the pool before chemical shock treatments. As a general rule, any pool water that is unsafe for swimming is unsafe for the Polaris.

•Carefully cut the hoses following the instructions on page 5.

By following these simple guidelines, you can help protect against injury and prolong the life of your new Polaris 380.

Before the Polaris is installed, please take a moment to record the serial number. For the location of the serial number, refer to the Exploded Parts Diagram on page 14. You will be asked for this number when contacting our Customer Service Department.

WARNING: USE OF POLARIS 380 IN A VINYL LINER POOL

Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by a variety of objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Polaris is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on a vinyl liner.

This feature not only prolongs the lifespan of the pool's pump but also enhances overall cleaning efficiency.

Installation of the Polaris 380 is straightforward, requiring minimal setup. The auto-reverse feature allows the cleaner to avoid obstacles and change direction automatically, ensuring that every part of the pool is thoroughly cleaned.
