Hose Nut Removal
O-ring
eed Hose Hose Nut
1. Unscrew hose nut (reversed threads).
2. Pull hose off swivel.
5. Double check the hose length by repeating
Step 1. When the feed hose has been cut
correctly, it should look like the one in the
"Properly Sized Feed Hose" diagram
on page 5.
6. Make sure the three hose floats are posi-
tioned correctly. One float should be against
the back-up valve on the side opposite the
cleaner, one float four feet and the other
seven feet upstream from the back-up valve.
See the "Properly Sized Feed Hose"
diagram on page 5.
F. Hooking Up the Polaris

See page 7.
G. Checking Operation
When operating correctly, the Polaris 360 will
travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming,
sweeping and scrubbing the bottom. The climbing
ability of the Polaris is dependent on the pool's
shape and available water flow. It will climb better
in pools without sharp angles or curves in the
transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.
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.
Approximately every 3-1/2 minutes the Polaris
360 will go into back-up mode. At this time the
back-up valve will pull the Polaris away from
potential obstacles.
The sweep hose operates in a gentle sweeping
motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped
in hard-to-reach corners of the pool.
If the Polaris does not travel into all areas of the
pool, turn off the pool filtration pump and make
the necessary adjustments in the Fine Tuning
section on page 7.
