Important Information

•Before installing the cleaner, make sure the pool filter is clean.

•New plumbing lines should be flushed out before installing the cleaner.

•The Polaris® should not be used to remove plaster dust in new pools.

•Except when checking the wheel RPM, do not handle the Polaris® while it is operating.

•Always remove the cleaner before swimmers enter the pool.

•Disconnect the cleaner before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning, let the

filtration system run for at least five minutes before re-connecting the cleaner.

CAUTION: USE OF THE POLARIS®IN A VINYL LINER POOL

Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by objects coming into

contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool

cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink

from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac

Pool Systems, Inc.is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on

vinyl liners.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new automatic pool cleaner, and thank you for choosing

Polaris®.The Polaris® 3900 Sport is designed to give you years of dependable and efficient

service.

Like most mechanical devices, it will require periodic adjustments, routine maintenance, and

the replacement of certain hardworking parts. Please have your cleaner checked

occasionally by your local Polaris® dealer or authorized service center.

Always insist on genuine Polaris® replacement parts. Non-Polaris® parts are not made to our

specifications. They may have an adverse effect on the operation of your Polaris®or may even

damage it.

For best results, the cleaner should be installed by a pool professional.For those with experience

and confidence in handling plumbing and mechanical equipment, installation is outlined in this

manual.

Adjust Feed Hose To Fit Pool Length

1. Measure the deepest part of the pool. Cut leader hose, from end that attaches to

feed hose, so length is equal to the greatest depth of the pool.

2. Attach leader hose to feed hose and connect hose to the pool wall at the return line.

Extend hose to farthest point of pool. The hose end must be within 15 cm longer or

shorter – of the farthest point. See diagram below.

If hose is too long: Separate hose at center swivel. Cut equal amounts of the

overage from feed hose section.

If hose is too short: Add a feed hose section, a swivel

and two hose nuts. Adjust to proper length.

Each feed hose section should be equal in length after adjustments.

3. After adjusting the length, position the hose floats as shown.

Assemble the Cleaner

1. Attach the feed hose connector

to the feed pipe by pressing it

down firmly until it locks.

2. The filter bag is packaged in the

collar area on the vacuum tube.

Pull out bag. Wrap bag around

hose and secure with Velcro

strips.

3. Turn on the pool filtration pump

and allow it to prime before

turning on the booster pump.

Check for Proper RPM

Before operating the Polaris®, check for

proper wheel revolutions per minute (RPM).

For maximum efficiency, the cleaner should

operate between 32 and 34 RPM.

1. Mark the single-wheel

side tire.

2. Turn pump on, hold cleaner

below water level and count

wheel revolutions for one minute.

If count is not in target range,

refer to Adjusting the Wheel RPM

in the Troubleshooting section for

more information.

Single-wheel Side

Sweep Hose

Adjusting the wheel RPM: If count is less than 32 RPM:

• If an adjustable valve is installed on the cleaner line, open it completely so water

can flow freely to the Polaris®.

• 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 pres-

sure.

•Remove the blue restrictor disk from the UWF.

If count is more than 34 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.

When operating correctly, the cleaner vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly

throughout the pool.Approximately every three minutes the cleaner goes into back-up mode. This

action pulls the cleaner away from pool obstacles and increases its random pattern.

Thrust Jet Adjustment

The thrust jet powers the

direction of the cleaner.

Factory position is seven

o’clock but, depending on

the pool, other settings

can be helpful to improve

cleaner coverage.

Sweep Hose Adjustment

The sweep hose should

move in a gentle sweeping

motion. To adjust the

motion, turn off the booster

pump and turn the sweep

jet clockwise to increase

or counter-clockwise to

decrease the movement.

Cleaning the Bag

Detach the Velcro strips. Twist the bag collar and pull up to free the bag from the cleaner. Unzip

both sides of the bag to remove the debris.

Fine Tuning The Cleaner

Empty the filter bag when it is

half full, especially if the debris

load is sand.

It is easier to empty the filter

bag when it is dry. Alternate

between two bags.
