Routine Maintenance; Thrust Jet Adjustment; Sweep Hose Adjustment; Cleaning The Filters - Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Owner's Manual

Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
The Polaris 280 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool.
Approximately every 3 minutes the cleaner 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 may be helpful.

Sweep Hose Adjustment

The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion.
To adjust, turn off the booster pump and turn the sweep hose
adjustment screw. Turn clockwise to decrease the motion.

Routine Maintenance

Cleaning the Bag
Remove the bag collar from the feed hose. Twist the bag connector until it disengages with a
clicking sound from the feed pipe. Pull off the filter bag, open the closure and dump out the
debris. To reinstall, align markings on connector and feed pipe. Click connector into position
on pipe and reattach bag collar to hose.
Empty the bag when it is
half full, especially if the
dirt load is sand.
It is easier to empty the
bag when it is dry. Alternate
between two bags.

Cleaning the Filters

Always disconnect the Polaris before
cleaning or backwashing the pool filter, and
let the filtration system run for at least five
minutes before reconnecting
the cleaner.
To clean the in-line filter screen, pull it
out of the filter assembly, rinse it and press
it firmly back into place

Storage and Winterizing

Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain out all the water
(freeze damage is not covered under the warranty). Remove the UWF from the pool wall by
attaching the Quick Disconnect and using pulling pressure to unscrew. If necessary, use the
UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00) available from any authorized Polaris dealer.
