Routine Maintenance - Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Manual Del Propietário

Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
The Polaris 280 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool.
Approximately every 3 minutes the cleaner 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 may be helpful.
Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion.
To adjust, turn off the booster pump and turn the sweep hose
adjustment screw. Turn clockwise to decrease the motion.
Routine Maintenance
Cleaning the Bag
Remove the bag collar from the feed hose. Twist the bag connector until it disengages with
a clicking sound from the feed pipe. Pull off the filter bag, open the closure and dump out the
debris. To reinstall, align markings on connector and feed pipe. Click connector into position on
pipe and reattach bag collar to hose.
Cleaning the Filters
Always disconnect the Polaris before cleaning
or backwashing the pool filter, and let the
filtration system run for at least five minutes
before reconnecting the cleaner.
Empty the bag when it is
half full, especially if the
dirt load is sand.
It is easier to empty the
bag when it is dry. Alternate
between two bags.
To clean the in-line filter screen, pull it
out of the filter assembly, rinse it and press it
firmly back into place
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. If necessary, use the
UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00) available from any authorized Polaris dealer.
