English

Action:	Sweep hose sprays too
	much water out of the pool.
Solution: 1.	Adjust the speed of the sweep
	hose by tightening the
	adjustment screw.
2.	Replace the sweep hose
	scrubber if it is worn
	or missing.
3.	Add a sweep hose weight
	(order part #B2) to keep the
	sweep hose from spraying.

Action: The cleaner does not clean the entire pool.

Solution: 1. Check the hose length reaches within 6” of the farthest point of the pool. If not, order a new hose section from your Polaris dealer.

2.Check thrust jet for straight back position that optimizes random turning.

3.While the cleaner is operating, hold it upside down and look into the vacuum tube. There should be two distinct, even jets of water.

If there are not, contact Customer Service or a Polaris authorized Service Center for assistance.

Action: The cleaner is running in circles on its side.

Solution: 1. Check filter bag, if full it can weigh the cleaner down on one side.

2.Remove the head float and shake it. If there is water in the float, order a new one.

3.Check the hose floats to make sure they are spaced evenly.
