Operation and Routine Maintenance
English
The Polaris 140/145 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.
The shoe provides traction and protects the Polaris and pool surface. Replace it before nubs on the bottom are worn flat.
The surface disk enables the cleaner to climb and remove small debris. Replace when outer edge is thin or worn.
The bypass intake regulates the water flow and allows collection of larger debris. Keep intake clear of debris. Replace bypass disk and
Replace ball valve seat if torn, cracked or heavily worn
To avoid magnet damage from debris build- up, routinely wipe magnet cap pad clean and replace when worn.

Flow Regulator
For the Polaris to operate at optimum efficiency, routinely check the inlet in the flow regulator and clear away debris.
Emptying Pump Basket
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
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. Store surface disk and steering skirt flat, and hose sections disconnected, drained and straight.
