If count is less than 32 RPM:

•Check the filter screen in the in-line filter for debris which restricts water flow.

•Clean the skimmer, filter and pump basket, clearing debris that restricts water flow.

•Check the hoses, connections and swivels for leaks that cause loss of water pressure.

•If an adjustable gate valve is installed on the booster pump or the Polaris cleaner line, open it completely so water can flow freely to the Polaris.

If count is more than 36 RPM:

•Unscrew the pressure relief valve until the proper RPM is reached.

•If an adjustable valve is installed, adjust it to reduce the amount of water flow to the cleaner.

•Place the blue restrictor disk in the UWF.

•If cleaner is still running too fast, remove the blue restrictor disk and replace it with the red restrictor.
