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.

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.
