➜ If you have a large amount of debris in your
pool (i.e. after a storm), you can run the
Polaris in two shorter cycles per day and
empty the pump basket between the cycles.
E. Periodic Maintenance
1. Tires (#8)
The tires (part #5-4005) provide traction and
protect both the Polaris and the bottom of the
pool. Replace the tires as they become worn.
Note: Tires are a wear item and are not covered
under warranty.
2. Bottom Plate (#21)
The bottom plate (part #5-3000) helps the Polaris
to travel over sharp corners or high spots on the
pool surface. Periodically check the bottom plate
for wear and replace as necessary. Note: Bottom
plates are a wear item and are not covered under
warranty.
3. Flow Regulator (#23)
Periodically check the inlet in the flow regulator
and clear out any debris.
4. Pool Filtration Pump
We recommend regular cleaning of the pool filter to
keep the Polaris operating at maximum efficiency.
➜ After cleaning the pool filter, record the filter
pressure here for future reference: _______psi
We recommend cleaning the pool filter
when the pressure is 5-10 psi above the
number recorded here.
For dedicated suction line installations, periodically
check the wheel RPM as the pool filter becomes
dirty. If the wheel RPM falls below 30, adjust the
valve at the equipment between skimmer flow and
dedicated suction flow until the proper wheel RPM
is reached.
F. Storage and Winterizing
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. Remove
the Polaris from the pool and drain all the water
from the Polaris before storing for the winter.
Also, remove any connectors and adapters from
the skimmer or dedicated suction line. Do not
store in an area where freezing could occur.
III.Operation and Maintenance
Please Note: If the above suggestions do
not work, contact your local Polaris dealer
or our Customer Service Department at
1-800-VAC-SWEEP (USA and Canada only)
or (760) 599-9600.
A. What to Expect from Your
Polaris 340
When operating correctly, the Polaris should
travel randomly throughout the pool. The
climbing ability of the Polaris is dependent on the
pool’s shape and available water flow. It will
climb better in pools without sharp angles or
curves in the transition from the pool floor to the
pool wall.
The Polaris travels in both forward and reverse
directions to increase its randomness and help
avoid potential obstacles. The Polaris will travel
faster in forward than in reverse.
B. Disconnecting the Polaris
1. Turn off the pump.
2. Disconnect the hose and adapters from the
skimmer or dedicated suction line. If the
cleaner was installed on a dedicated suction
line, mark the valve position and turn off
the water flow through the dedicated
suction line.
3. Remove the hose and cleaner from the pool.
Please Note: When reinstalling the Polaris 340,
always fill the hose with water.
C. Turning On/Off the Polaris
The Polaris 340 operates on the suction side of
the pool filtration system and can be turned
on/off by simply turning on/off the filtration pump.
The Polaris will operate during the same time
cycle as the pool filtration pump.
D. Emptying the Pump Basket
It is important to empty the pump basket on a reg-
ular basis so the Polaris can operate at its optimum
efficiency. The more debris in the pool, the more
often the pump basket should be checked.
