Important Information

The Polaris Vac-Sweep
pipe fitting on a dedicated return line. Connections to other return lines are possible, but require additional
fittings (see Section B on page 4). If you have a chlorinator, solar system or other air inducing equipment,
contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-VAC-SWEEP (USA and Canada only) before you
install the Polaris 360.
The following are important points to remember when installing and operating the Polaris 360.
• Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall when cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.
• After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes before
reconnecting the Polaris.
• New plumbing lines should be flushed out before installing the Polaris.
• The Polaris should not be used to remove plaster dust in new pools.
• Always remove the Polaris before swimmers enter the pool.
• Always handle the Polaris with care. Do not let children or pets play with the Polaris; it is not a toy.
• Except when checking the wheel RPM, do not handle the Polaris while it is operating.
• Never pick up the Polaris by the head float.
• Always remove the Polaris from the pool before chemical shock treatments. As a general rule,
any pool water that is unsafe for swimming is unsafe for the Polaris.
• Carefully cut the feed hose following the instructions on page 5.
By following these simple guidelines, you can help protect against injury and prolong the life of your
Polaris 360.
Before the Polaris is installed, please take a moment to record the serial number. For the location of
the serial number, refer to the Exploded Parts Diagram on page 12. You will be asked for this number
when contacting our Customer Service Department.
WARNING: USE OF POLARIS 360 IN A VINYL LINER POOL
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused
by a variety of 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.
Polaris is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or
markings on a vinyl liner.
