Polaris 340 Operation and Routine Maintenance, Emptying the Pump Basket, Storage and Winterizing

English

Operation and Routine Maintenance

The Polaris 340 cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the Polaris is dependent on the pool’s shape and available water flow. It will climb better in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

Approximately every 4-1/2 minutes the Polaris 340 completes one cleaning cycle. During a cycle, the Polaris travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to the right and left. The bypass door releases the cleaner from obstacles and the fan creates down force to increase cleaner stability.

Bottom Plate

The bottom plate helps the Polaris travel over sharp corners or high spots. Periodically check the bottom plate for wear and replace as necessary.

Propeller

Keep propeller free of debris. To access the propeller area, remove the top housing assembly.

Flow Regulator

Periodically check the inlet in the flow regulator and clear away debris.

Emptying the Pump Basket

For the Polaris to operate at optimum efficiency, empty the pump basket regularly. The more debris in the pool, the more often the pump basket should be cleared.

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 suction 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 all connectors and adapters from the dedicated suction line or skimmer.
