This one year limited warranty is extended to the original consumer purchaser of this Polaris 140/145 Automatic Pool
Cleaner manufactured by Polaris Pool Systems, Inc., 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. Polaris warrants this product, including
all parts and components thereof, to be free of defects in material and workmanship. Normal replacement items such as
surface disk or shoe which have been worn out by use or improper installation are not covered by this warranty.
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, 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. In no event
shall Polaris be liable for incidental or consequential damages of any nature or for damages to persons or property, including
damage to vinyl liners, plaster, tile, aggregate-based and other pool surfaces, or damages resulting from the sue of this
product with a substandard pool circulation system or chemical imbalance.
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, contact the Customer Service Department at 1-800-VAC-SWEEP (USA and Canada only)
or (760) 599-9600. Be sure to insure the shipment against loss or damage in transit.
This limited warranty is valid only in the United States of America, Canada and Australia, and does not apply to Polaris
140/145 Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaners sold or installed in any other country. Polaris 140/145 Automatic Pool Cleaners
sold in the United Kingdom are warranted for a period of two years from date of invoicing to the first user.
WARNING: USE OF POLARIS 140/145 IN A VINYL LINER POOL OR FIBERGLASS POOL
VINYL LINER POOL: Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused
by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers,
and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface
with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with
objects in the pool. To enhance the performance of the Polaris 140/145 and reduce the possibility of pattern removal,
abrasion or markings, Polaris requires that the consumer use the white shoe included with the cleaner, not the gray shoe.
Use of the gray shoe in conjunction with a vinyl liner pool will void Polaris' warranty. Polaris is not responsible for, and the
Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.
FIBERGLASS POOL: The deflector ring is not for use in fiberglass pools. Polaris is not responsible for, and the Limited
Warranty does not cover, damages caused by the use of the deflector ring in a fiberglass pool.
