10.Reinstall the swivel with the flow arrows on the swivel pointing toward the Polaris. (Refer to the “Proper Nut Placement” diagram.)

11.On the clear hose, make sure one float is against the back-up valve on the side oppo- site the cleaner and another float is upstream within 2-3 feet. On the white hoses, space the floats no less than 1-1/2 feet and no more than 3 feet apart, so that the white hoses do not sag. It may be necessary to remove floats to main- tain proper spacing.

12.When the feed hose has been cut properly, it should look like the one in the “Properly Sized Feed Hose” diagram on page 4.

E. Assembling the Polaris

1.Put the nut on the feed pipe. Attach the clear hose to the feed pipe and tighten the nut.

If there is a curve at the end of the hose, align it with the curve of the feed pipe.

2.Pull out the bag. With the bag on the single- wheel side of the feed hose, snap the bag collar onto the feed hose.

3.Turn on the pool filtration pump. Wait at least 30 seconds and turn on the booster pump.

F.Checking Operation

When operating correctly, the Polaris 380 will travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming, sweeping and scrubbing the bottom, sides, and most of the steps and swimouts. The Polaris will clean an average pool in 3 hours or less.

The Polaris comes equipped with an automatic pressure relief valve in the quick disconnect.

If the Polaris is receiving too much water pres- sure, it will release water at the quick disconnect.

The wheel RPM of the Polaris should be between 28 and 32.

Approximately every 2 minutes the Polaris 380 will go into back-up mode. At this time the back- up valve will pull the Polaris away from potential obstacles and increase its random pattern.

The sweep hose operates in a gentle sweeping motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in hard-to-reach corners of the pool.

If the Polaris does not operate as described above, turn off the pumps and make the neces- sary adjustments below.

G. Fine Tuning

1. Thrust Jet Adjustment

The position of the thrust jet determines the direc- tion of the Polaris. Its standard position is eleven o’clock. See the “Assembling the Polaris” diagram for the location of the thrust jet.
