380 Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner
This limited warranty is extended to the original consumer purchaser of this Polaris Vac-Sweep 380
Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner manufactured by Polaris Pool Systems, Inc., 2620 Commerce Way,
Vista, California 92083-8438, U.S.A.
Polaris warrants the cleaning unit it manufactures, including all parts and components thereof, to be
free of defects in material and workmanship. The booster pump is excluded in this warranty and carries
its own separate warranty. We do not cover bags, tires, sweep hoses or sweep hose scrubbers which have
been worn out by use. These are normal replacement items. We do not cover improper installation of the
Polaris Vac-Sweep 380. The instruction manual should be read in its entirety before the installation of the
Polaris Vac-Sweep 380. All installation instructions should be carefully followed. Failure to follow the
installation instructions may void this warranty. If you have any questions regarding your Polaris Vac-
Sweep 380, please feel free to call or write us. Be sure to include the serial number, which can be located
on the rear of the frame near the single-wheel side of your unit.

The Polaris 380 frame is warranted for a period of ten years. The rest of the Polaris 380 parts are
warranted for a period of one year from date of manufacture of the unit as established by the serial
number, or one year from date of purchase with proof of purchase, whichever is later.
This limited warranty does not apply if the failure is caused or contributed to by any of the following:
improper handling, improper usage, improper storage, winter freezing, abuse, improper installation,
removal of the UWF filter screen, unsuitable application of the unit, improper maintenance, lack of
reasonable and necessary maintenance, damage in transit or during installation, or damage from
repairs/alterations made or attempted by anyone other than Polaris or one of its Authorized Service
Centers. Polaris will repair or replace, at its option, a unit or part proved to be defective within the
warranty period and under the conditions of the warranty.
In order to make a claim under this warranty, the consumer must deliver or ship the unit or warranty
parts freight prepaid to the nearest Polaris Authorized Service Center or return it freight prepaid (after
proper authorization) to the plant of manufacture. Authorization to return a unit or part to the plant of
manufacture must be obtained from the Polaris Customer Service Department. Check with your dealer for
the local procedure before exercising this warranty. If further directions or instructions should be required,

Polaris is not responsible for the cost of removal of the unit or parts, damages during or due to
removal, any other expenses incurred in shipping the unit or parts to or from the factory or its Authorized
Service Centers, or damages during the installation of the repaired or replacement unit. The consumer
must bear these expenses.
This warranty does not cover repair or replacement of a unit or part except at our plant of manufacture
or a Polaris Authorized Service Center. This warranty does not cover pattern removal, abrasion or markings
on a vinyl liner.
