Assemble the Cleaner
1. Use the nut to attach the feed hose to
the feed pipe.
2.
Pull out the bag and attach the bag
collar to the feed hose.
3. Position the head float 1/2 to 1 inch
back from feed pipe.
4. Turn on the pool filtration pump and
allow it to prime before turning on the
booster pump.
Check for Proper RPM
Before operating the Polaris, check for proper wheel revolutions per minute (RPM). For
maximum efficiency, the Polaris should operate between 28 and 32 RPM.
1.
Mark the single-wheel side tire.
2. Turn pump on, hold cleaner below water level and count wheel revolutions for 1 minute.
3. Optimum speed should be
between 28 and 32 RPM.
If count is less than 28 RPM:
Check the filter screen in the Quick Disconnect for debris that 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.
Remove the blue restrictor disc from the UWF.
If an adjustable gate valve is installed on the booster pump or cleaner line, open it
completely so water can flow freely to the Polaris.
If count is
more than 32 RPM:
Unscrew the pressure relief valve until the proper RPM is reached.
If an adjustable gate valve is installed, adjust it to reduce the water flow to the cleaner.
Replace the blue restrictor disc in the UWF with the red restrictor.
