Wheel - Polaris 480PRO Owner's Manual

1. Attach the feed hose connector to
3
the feed pipe by pressing down
firmly until it locks.
2. The all-purpose filter bag is packaged in the collar
area on the vacuum tube. Pull out bag. With bag on
either side of hose, attach the bag clasp to the loop
on the top of the bag and secure the Velcro strips.
3. 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 32 and 36
4 RPM.
1. Mark the single-wheel side tire.
2. Turn pump on, hold cleaner below water level and count wheel revolutions for 1 minute.
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 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:
• Install the blue restrictor disk in the UWF to decrease water flow. Or, install the red restrictor disk to decrease
the water flow even more. If the flow is still too high, unscrew the pressure relief valve until the proper RPM is
reached. Note: The pressure relief valve should only be adjusted when a restrictor is installed.
• If an adjustable valve is installed on the cleaner line, adjust it to reduce the amount of water flow to the cleaner.
