If a spa is connected to the pool filtration equip-
ment, you may also need to obtain some expansion
regulators in addition to one of the kits listed above.
Contact our Customer Service Department at
1-800-VAC-SWEEP (USA and Canada only)
to determine what parts are necessary.
C. Installing the Universal
Wall Fitting
1. Turn on the filtration pump and flush out the
plumbing line.
2. Remove the universal wall fitting (#38) from
the quick disconnect (#42).
3. Screw the universal wall fitting into the return
line by hand. Turn the quick disconnect clock-
wise into the universal wall fitting and pull
away to secure. Turn the quick disconnect by
hand to tighten the universal wall fitting; do
not overtighten. Once the universal wall fit-
ting is secure, the quick disconnect can be
removed without removing the universal wall
fitting.
Properly Sized Feed Hose
For proper cleaner performance, the hose must be sized to fit in your pool. To size correctly, follow the steps in
Section E. Once sized, the feed hose should look like the one below.

where the farthest point is in your pool.

D. Pressure Testing Instructions
1. Before installing the Polaris 360, make sure
the pool filter is clean.
2. Connect the quick disconnect to the
universal wall fitting.
3. While someone holds the free end of the
hose in the pool, turn on the pool pump. Hold
the free end of the hose underwater and
cover the large hole at the end of the pres-
sure tester. Reach down and feel around the
quick disconnect to see if the pressure relief
valve (#41) is releasing water. If it is, continue
with Section E. If it isn't, the filtration pump
may not have sufficient water pressure to
operate the Polaris.
Before proceeding, contact your partici-
pating Polaris dealer or 1-800-VAC-SWEEP
(USA and Canada only).
E. Cutting the Feed Hose
1. With the pool pump on, hold the pressure
tester underwater and do not cover the holes.
Pull 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 the measure-
ment.) If the hose just reaches the farthest
point of the pool, go to Section F.
2. If the hose is short of the farthest point, add
a 6-foot hose (part #9-100-3102), one swivel
(part #9-100-3002), and two hose nuts (part
#9-100-3109). Add the additional hose sec-
tion at the first swivel from the pool wall and
repeat Step 1. Do not add more than one
6-foot hose.
3. If the hose extends past the farthest point of
the pool, mark the excess hose. Turn off the
pump and measure the marked amount.
