The Polaris climbs best in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall. Approximately every three minutes the Polaris 380 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 eleven o’clock, 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. See Troubleshooting for other action adjustments.

Open the bag closure and dump out the debris. Velcro ClosureBag Collar 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. Backwashing the Pool Filter Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes to flush out the return lines before reconnecting the Polaris. 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.
