3 Assemble the Cleaner
1. Attach the feed hose connector to the feed
pipe by pressing down firmly until it locks.
2. The all-purpose filter bag is packaged in
the collar area on the vacuum tube. Pull
out bag. With bag on single-wheel side of
cleaner, attach bag clasp on the feed hose
to the loop on the top of the bag.
3. Turn on the pool filtration pump and allow
it to prime before turning on the
booster pump.
Check for Proper RPM
4
Before operating the Polaris, check for proper wheel revolutions per minute (RPM). For
maximum efficiency, the Polaris should operate between 32 and 36 RPM.
1. Mark the single-wheel side tire.
2. Turn pump on, hold cleaner below water level and count wheel revolutions for 1 minute.
3. Optimum speed should be between 32 and 36 RPM.
If count is less than 32 RPM:
• Check the filter screen in the in-line filter for debris which restricts water flow.
• Clean the skimmer, filter and pump basket, clearing debris that restricts water flow.
• Check the hoses, connections and swivels for leaks that cause loss of water pressure.
• If an adjustable gate valve is installed on the booster pump or the Polaris cleaner line,
open it completely so water can flow freely to the Polaris.
If count is more than 36 RPM:
• Unscrew the pressure relief valve until the proper RPM is reached.
• If an adjustable valve is installed, adjust it to reduce the amount of water flow to
the cleaner.
• Place the blue restrictor disk in the UWF.
• If cleaner is still running too fast, remove the blue restrictor disk and replace it with the
red restrictor.
