III.Operation/Periodic Adjustments

➔
To make connecting and disconnecting the
quick disconnect even easier, periodically
lubricate the quick disconnect O-ring with
O-ring lubricant.
B. Turning On/Off the Polaris
The Polaris 360 operates off the pool filtration
system and can be turned on/off by simply
turning on/off your filtration pump. The Polaris will
operate during the same time cycle that the pool
filtration pump operates.
➔
If you have a lot of debris in your pool
(i.e. after a storm), you can run your Polaris
in two shorter cycles per day and empty the
filter bag between cycles.
C. Cleaning the Filter Bag
Remove the bag by releasing the prongs and
removing the bag tie collar from the feed hose.
Open the velcro closure and dump out the debris.
See the diagram at the top of the next column.
➔
If the velcro closure begins to lose its "grip",
rinse it, let it dry and clean it with a stiff brush.
Reconnect the filter bag with the velcro closure
toward the feed hose. Reattach the bag tie collar
on the feed hose.

➔
When possible, empty the filter bag when it
gets half full, especially if the dirt load is
sand. The Polaris will perform best when the
bag is not overloaded.
➔
Some Polaris owners have told us it is easier
to empty the filter bag when it is dry. They
alternate between two filter bags. When one
becomes full, they remove it and put on the
clean bag. They let the full bag dry com-
pletely before emptying it.
D. Periodic Maintenance
The following parts are wear items that should be
periodically checked and replaced as needed.
Wear items are not covered under warranty.

1. Filter Screen (#39)

Inside the quick disconnect is a filter screen. It
acts as a safety filter to keep any debris that is
not caught by the pool filtration system out of the
Polaris. Always disconnect the Polaris prior to
cleaning the pool filter to prevent debris from
flowing into the filter screen during maintenance.
