4. Remove the hose connector from the portion
of excess hose that was removed. Attach it
to the new end of the float hose. See the
"Removing the Connector" diagram on page 3.
5. Attach the sweep hose and filter bag to the
jet sweep assembly. When attaching the bag,
make sure its frame is completely open.
6. Attach the float hose and the sweep hose to
the surface module. When attaching the
sweep hose, make sure the large ends of the
wheel cages are pointing toward the bag.

7. Put the Polaris in the pool and turn on the
pool filtration pump. Extend the float hose
back to the farthest point in the pool. With the
pump running, the surface module is approxi-
mately one foot from the pool wall.
E. Operation
When operating correctly, the surface module
will float level on the pool surface. It will change
directions approximately every 15-25 seconds.
As the Polaris moves randomly throughout the
pool, it recirculates clean, filtered water.
The filter bag should contact the pool floor a
majority of the time collecting dirt and debris. It
will remove debris as large as leaves or as fine
as sand. The Polaris 165 will vacuum and sweep
the pool in three hours or less.
The Polaris comes equipped with an automatic
pressure relief valve in the quick disconnect. If
the Polaris is receiving too much water pressure
it will release water at the quick disconnect.
F. Fine Tuning
Observe the movement of the surface module to
verify that the cleaner is not operating too slowly.
If it takes longer than 25 seconds to change
directions, feel around the pressure relief valve
to see if it is releasing excess water. If not, install
the second eyeball regulator in the remaining
return line. Reobserve the movement of the sur-
face module and verify that it is not operating
too fast.
The cleaner is operating too fast if the sweep
hose and bag are not in contact with the pool
bottom a majority of the time and the surface
module changes directions more frequently than
every 15 to 25 seconds. In this case, unscrew the
pressure relief valve until the surface module
slows down. For further information, please refer
to the Troubleshooting Section on page 6.
WARNING: IMPROPER OPERATION MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO CLEANER, POOL OR
POOL EQUIPMENT.
