Cutting The Feed Hose - Polaris Vac-Sweep 180 Manual

D. Cutting the Feed Hose
1. Straighten the feed hose by soaking it in hot
water or laying it in the sun.
2. Measure and mark the deepest part of the
pool (usually the main drain) with a telepole. If
the pool depth is 10 feet or more, do not cut
the clear hose and skip to step 5.

3. Lay the telepole next to the clear hose. If the
clear hose is longer than the mark on the tele-
pole, cut the excess from the end attached to the
white hose. Do not cut off the float.

It is easier to reinstall the swivels when
the hose and swivels are wet.
5. Attach the quick disconnect at the end of the
white hose to the universal wall fitting.
6. Stretch the hose to the farthest point of the
pool. (The Polaris will not usually climb onto the
top step, so do not count it in your measurement.)
If the hose is within 6" of the farthest point of the
pool, go to Section E.

If the hose is more than 6" short, add a 10-foot
section of white hose with floats (part #9-100-
3104), two nuts (part #D-15), and one swivel
(part #D-20). Do not add more than one 10-foot
hose section.
7. Measure the amount of hose that extends
past the farthest point of the pool. This is the
overage measurement. Do not cut the hose yet.
8. Lay the hose on the deck. Go to the swivel
between the 10-foot white hoses. Slide the floats
away from the swivel and remove the swivel.
9. Cut an equal amount of the overage mea-
surement from each 10-foot white hose.
10. Reinstall the swivel with the flow arrows on
the swivel pointing toward the Polaris. (Refer to
the "Proper Nut Placement" diagram.)
