Polaris Essential Adjustments for Your 280 Swimming Pool Vacuum

English

Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner

The Polaris 280 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. Approximately every 3 minutes the cleaner goes into back-up mode. This action pulls the Polaris away from pool obstacles and increases its random pattern.

Thrust Jet Adjustment

The thrust jet powers the direction of the Polaris. Factory position is straight back, but depending on the pool, other settings may be helpful.

Sweep Hose Adjustment

The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion. To adjust, turn off the booster pump and turn the sweep hose adjustment screw. Turn clockwise to decrease the motion.

Routine Maintenance

Cleaning the Bag

Remove the bag collar from the feed hose. Twist the bag connector until it disengages with a clicking sound from the feed pipe. Pull off the filter bag, open the closure and dump out the debris. To reinstall, align markings on connector and feed pipe. Click connector into position on pipe and reattach bag collar to hose.

Empty the bag when it is half full, especially if the dirt load is sand.

It is easier to empty the bag when it is dry. Alternate between two bags.

Cleaning the Filters

Always disconnect the Polaris before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter, and let the filtration system run for at least five minutes before reconnecting

the cleaner.

To clean the in-line filter screen, pull it

out of the filter assembly, rinse it and press it firmly back into place

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 under the warranty). Remove the UWF from the pool wall by attaching the Quick Disconnect and using pulling pressure to unscrew. If necessary, use the UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00) available from any authorized Polaris dealer.
