Installation

STEP 1. Prepare the Pool

1. Manually vacuum the pool and make sure the pool filter and pump basket are clean.

2. Turn off the pool filter pump.

3. Close the pool main drain line.

4. Aim the return line fittings down.

WARNING

RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS

INJURY OR DEATH.

Ensure that your vacuum suction ttings installed in your pool for connection of

your suction-side pool cleaner are certied as being compliant with applicable safety standards such as

IAPMO SPS 4. Do not block the suction ttings with any part or your body. Do not expose your hair,

loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to any suction outlet ttings or hose ends in the pool/spa.

STEP 2. Assemble Hose Sections

Push and twist the connector on each hose section (g) until they lock into position with clicking sound

(Figure 1). Hose cuffs have three (3) connection positions. Any of the three (3) positions are sufficient

for an air-tight seal. g g

Figure 2. Dedicated Suction

Line Connection

STEP 3. Connect to a Dedicated Suction Line

1. Twist-lock the male end of the hose (g) into the large end

of the extended 45° elbow (d).

2. Connect elbow to the installed Safety Vac

wall fitting (sold separately).

3. Angle the elbow toward the water surface (Figure 2).

English

Connect to a Skimmer

The FlowKeeper™ valve must always be used in single skimmer installations. The valve regulates

flow to ensure the pool pump and cleaner run properly.

If the pool has more than one skimmer, connect the hose to the skimmer closest to the pump.

The parts used to connect the hose and the sequence in which they are installed depends on the type of

skimmer (Figure 3).

1. Remove the skimmer basket.

2. Connect the valve cuff (h), FlowKeeper valve (b) and the 45 degree elbow (f) together. Insert the

FlowKeeper valve (b) into the 45 degree elbow with arrow pointing down.

3. Push the male end of the twist-lock hose (g) to the end of the 45 degree elbow (f).

4. Insert assembly into the skimmer suction port.

Figure 3. Skimmer Connection

STEP 4. Determine Correct Hose Length for Your Pool

1. Measure enough hose to reach the farthest point of the pool from the skimmer or dedicated suction

line. Remove any additional hose sections, as necessary. See (A) in Figure 4, below.

2. Next attach the leader hose (c) to the end where the cleaner head will be connected. See (B) in

Figure 4 below. The extra length allows the cleaner to reach the far point in the pool if a loop forms

while in operation.

STEP 5. Connect the Cleaner

1. Ensure that the flow regulator valve (FRV) (e) is attached to the leader hose (c). The leader hose is

the hose section with the foam float pre-attached. (Figure 5).

2. Submerge the hose and flood with water (no bubbles visible).

3. Submerge the cleaner and flood with water (no bubbles visible).

4. Connect the hose to the cleaner head by pushing the flow regulator valve onto the cleaner.

5. Allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of the pool.

STEP 6. Test for Proper Flow

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, make sure to turn off the suction pump that is responsible for the pool cleaner

operation. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to the open end of the hose.

The flow regulator valve is designed to consistently limit high flow of water through the cleaner. When

flow is correct, the cleaner components are less susceptible to damage and the life of the cleaner can be

extended. Wheel rotation speed is a good indicator of how much water is flowing through the cleaner. By

checking for proper wheel rotation timing, you can verify the cleaner is operating at maximum efficiency.

English

Time Wheel Rotations

1. Turn on the pool filter pump.

2. Obtain a stopwatch or timer.

3. Leaving the pump on and water flowing through the

cleaner, bring the cleaner to the surface of the water

and hold it fully submerged just below the water line.

4. Locate the wheel speed indicator on the

rear right wheel (Figure 6).

5. Note how many seconds it takes to complete 10 rotations.

If the wheels change direction during the rotation count,

wait and restart your count.

If the count is within 20 - 25 seconds, no adjustment is

necessary.

• 20 - 25 seconds --- Optimal Flow

Figure 6. Wheel Speed Indicator

STEP 7. Adjust Flow to the Cleaner (If Necessary)

1. Adjust the flow if it is not within the optimal wheel speed range.

If the count is:

• 26 - 50 seconds --- Increase Flow (+) --- cleaner moving too slow and needs additional flow

• 10 - 19 seconds --- Decrease Flow (–) --- cleaner moving too fast and could be damaged

2. To increase or decrease flow, adjust flow via one of the following methods:

• Valves at the equipment pad for a dedicated suction line.

• Flowkeeper valve at the skimmer for skimmer installation (Figure 7).

• Pump speed (variable speed pumps only).

Operation and Maintenance

Daily Operation

The cleaner cycles on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning all surfaces randomly

throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool’s shape and available

water flow. If the cleaner is not climbing pool walls, ensure the flow is correct by checking the wheel

speed. Also, ensure the pool surface is not covered in algae as this slippery surface will affect traction.

During each coverage pattern cycle, the cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to the

right and left. The turbines underneath the cleaner create down force for climbing and stability as well as

directing debris into the cleaner mouth. The scrubbing brushes also make contact with the pool floor to

agitate and remove small stuck-on debris.

Cleaner Vacuum Modes

Your cleaner is designed to operate with two vacuum options:

• Large debris: For vacuuming large debris, such as leaves. It is recommended that you return the

cleaner to small debris factory setting after large debris cleaning.

• Small debris (factory setting): For vacuuming smaller and heavy debris, such as sand, silt and

small stones. The pool cleaner is sent from the factory in this mode.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, make sure that the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and the suction

pump used for the cleaner is turned off prior to starting this operation.

Convert to large debris

cleaning mode:

1. Locate slot on underside of

cleaner. Insert a flat tool into

the inlet adapter

(Figure 8).

2. Lift up the inlet adapter and

then pull it out of the vacuum

inlet.

Convert back to small debris

cleaning mode:

1. Place the modular inlet adapter in the vacuum inlet

of the pool cleaner.

2. Push down on the modular inlet adapter until it

clicks into place (Figure 9).

Figure 8. Remove Modular Inlet Adapter Figure 9. Replace Modular Inlet Adapter

English

Routine Maintenance

To ensure correct operation and extend the life of your cleaner:

1. Empty the Pump Basket Regularly

For the cleaner to operate at highest efficiency, empty the pump basket regularly. The more debris in the

pool, the more often the pump basket should be cleared.

NOTE: Polaris offers an in-line leaf canister which maintains flow while catching debris, and reduces

debris from reaching the pump filter basket.

2. Remove Debris from Engine

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, make sure that the cleaner is disconnected from the hose and the suction

pump used for the cleaner is turned off prior to starting this operation.

remove it. No tools required (Figure 11).

4. Reinstall the engine. Make sure the engine is positioned

with the large wheel on the right side (marked A) when

reinstalling.

5. Close engine cover and ensure the latch clicks in place.

English

3. Clean or Backwash the Pool Filter

Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After

cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes to flush out the suction

lines before re-connecting the cleaner.

4. Adding Chemicals

Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least four (4) hours when adding chemicals.

5. Replace Brushes Regularly

To maintain optimal cleaning, it is recommended to replace scrubbing brushes each season or when

significant wear is visible (Figure 12). To remove brushes, squeeze the plastic clip between two fingers

and pull out. Type of pool surface may also increase rate of wear to brushes.

6. Storage

Never store the cleaner in direct sunlight. Do not coil the hose.

Hose may develop a memory which can affect cleaner performance. Store the cleaner on its side or back

to avoid damage to turbine (all models) and brushes (Figure 13).

Figure 12. Inspect the Brushes

Figure 13. Store Cleaner on its Side

7. Winterizing

Before storing for winter, drain out all the water (freeze damage is not covered by the warranty). Remove

all connectors and adapters from the dedicated suction line or skimmer. Disassemble the hoses and lay

flat.
