Troubleshooting Worksheet - Polaris Vac-Sweep 480 PRO Owner's Manual

4. Install the blue restrictor disk in the
UWF to decrease water flow. Or,
install the red restrictor disk to
decrease the water flow even more.
5. If an adjustable valve is installed,
adjust it to reduce the amount of
water flow to the cleaner.
6. Add a sweep hose weight (order
part #B2).
Action: Sweep hose sprays too much water
out of the pool.
Solution: 1. Adjust the speed of the sweep hose
by adjusting the easy-click settings.
2. Replace the sweep hose scrubber if
it is worn or missing.
3. Add a sweep hose weight (order
part #B2) to keep the sweep hose
from spraying.
Action: The cleaner does not clean the
entire pool.
Solution: 1. Verify that feed hose reaches within
6" of the farthest point of the pool.
If not, order a new hose section
from your Polaris dealer.
2. Check thrust jet for straight back
position that optimizes random
turning.
3. While the cleaner is operating, hold
it upside down and look into the
vacuum tube. There should be four
distinct, even jets of water. If there
are not, contact Customer Service
or a Polaris authorized Service
Center for assistance.
Action: The cleaner is running in circles on
its side.
Solution: 1. Check the filter bag, if full it can
weigh the cleaner down on
one side.
2. Check the hose floats to make sure
they are spaced evenly.
