Quick Installation Instructions

Four quick steps to install and get maximum performance from the Polaris 140/145:

•Identify type of pool connection and connect hose

•Adjust suction hose to fit pool length

•Test and adjust water flow

•Assemble the cleaner

1	Identify Type of Pool Connection and Connect Hose
	The Polaris 140/145 is equipped to connect to a dedicated suction line or a pool skimmer.
	A dedicated suction line is a 1-1/2" to 2" suction line, usually located 6 to 12 inches below the
	water's surface in the center of the longest pool wall.
	Skimmers can vary greatly depending on the design of the pool. Some of the most common
	skimmer setups are discussed here. For further information, contact Customer Service.
	Before installation:
	1. Make sure pool filter and pump basket are clean.

➔ Note the pool filter pressure (pounds per square inch or psi) when filter is clean. Whenever the pressure is 5-10 psi above the noted psi, clean the filter.

2. Determine if a dedicated suction line is available for installation.

3. If no dedicated suction line is present, a skimmer installation will be used.

• Identify location of all skimmers.

• Use skimmer nearest the center of the longest pool wall to connect Polaris. If there are two, use the one closest to the pool equipment.

• Block flow to main drain and all skimmers that will not be used by the Polaris. If the pool does not have a valve to regulate flow to each skimmer, block the flow at the suction line.

• Remove skimmer cover, basket and any other valves, floats or covers.

• If skimmer has a diverter valve to control water flow between the skimmer and main drain, adjust valve to full skimming.

• If skimmer has two openings (suction line and main drain line), the suction line is usually farthest from the edge of the pool. Verify by checking for flow.

4. Turn off pool pump.

Dedicated Suction Line Connection

1.If suction line does not have a safety vacuum fitting, install the universal adapter. If a safety fitting is present, the universal adapter is not necessary.

2.Attach any hose section without weights to the dedicated suction line.

3.Skip to Connecting the Hose.
