Replacing The Brushes - Polaris 9300xi Sport Owner's Manual

5.3 Replacing the Brushes

The cleaner is fi tted with PVC brushes. There are ''wear''
indicators on the brushes. To maintain cleaner perfor-
mance at its best you need to replace the brushes as soon
as one of the wear indicators has been reached (even if
the blade wear is not even). Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc.
recommends that you replace the brushes every two (2)
years.
1. Lift the cleaner to a vertical position so that the
handle is up. Refer to Figure 28.
