Routine Maintenance - Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Manual Del Propietário

Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
When operating correctly, the Polaris 280 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces
randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the Polaris depends on the pool's
shape and water pressure or flow. The Polaris climbs best in pools without sharp angles
or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.
Approximately every 3 minutes the Polaris 280 goes into back-up mode. This action pulls
the Polaris away from pool obstacles and increases its random pattern.
Thrust Jet Adjustment
The thrust jet powers the direction of the Polaris.
Factory position is straight back, but depending on the
pool, other settings are helpful.
Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping
motion. To increase or decrease its motion, turn off the
booster pump and turn the sweep hose adjustment screw.
(Clockwise turn will reduce.)
See Troubleshooting for other action adjustments.

Storage and Winterizing
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain out all the
water (freeze damage is not covered under the warranty). Remove the UWF from the
pool wall by attaching the Quick Disconnect and using pulling pressure to unscrew. In
some cases, it may be necessary to use the UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00)
available from an authorized Polaris dealer.

Whenever possible, empty the filter
bag when it is half full, especially if
the dirt load is sand.
It is easier to empty the filter bag
when it is dry. Alternate between two
filter bags. When one becomes full,
remove it and put on the clean bag.
