3 Assemble the Cleaner
1. Use the nut to attach the feed hose to
the feed pipe.
2. Pull out the bag and attach the bag
collar to the feed hose.
3. Position the head float 1/2 to 1 inch
back from feed pipe.
4. 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 28 and 32 RPM.
1. Mark the single-wheel
side tire.
2. Turn pump on, hold cleaner
below water level and count
wheel revolutions for 1 minute.
If count is less than 28 RPM:
• Check the filter screen in the
in-line filter for debris that 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.
• Remove the blue restrictor disk from the UWF.
• If an adjustable gate valve is installed on the booster pump or cleaner line, open it
completely so water can flow freely to the Polaris.
If count is more than 32 RPM:
• Replace the blue restrictor disk in the UWF with the red restrictor. If the flow is still too
high, unscrew the pressure relief valve until the proper RPM is reached. Note: The
pressure relief valve should only be adjusted when a restrictor is installed.
• If an adjustable valve is installed after the booster pump, adjust it to reduce the water
flow to the cleaner.
