Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner

When operating correctly, the Polaris 480 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the Polaris depends on the pool’s shape and water pressure or flow. The Polaris climbs best in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

Approximately every 3 minutes the Polaris 480 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

are helpful.

Cleaning the All-Purpose Filter Bag

Depress the bag clasp to free the bag from the feed hose. Depress the prongs to release the bag from the cleaner. Open the bag closure and remove the debris.

Zipper Closure

Whenever possible, empty the filter bag when it is half full, especially if the dirt load is sand.

It is easier to empty the filter bag when it is dry. Alternate between two filter bags. When one becomes full, remove it and put on the clean bag.
