I. Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Polaris Turbo Turtle

.

You will find that it vacuums the bottom and
sweeps the sides of any size or shape above-
ground pool. The Polaris Turbo Turtle does all the
hard work for you, leaving you with a sparkling
clean pool. It's simple to use and easy to install.
Just follow these step-by-step instructions.

II. Installation Instructions

A. Polaris Turbo Turtle 

Components

The Polaris Turbo Turtle box contains:

1. Surface Module
2. Jet Sweep Assembly
3. All-Purpose Bag
4. Sweep Hose, 7 Ft.
5. Float Hose, 24 Ft.
6. Quick Disconnect
7. Universal Wall Fitting

B. Installing the Universal Wall

Fitting

It is important to have a clean pool filter before
installing the Polaris Turbo Turtle.

1. Turn on the pool filtration pump and flush out

the plumbing line. Turn off the pump.

2. Unscrew the universal wall fitting from the

quick disconnect.

   

If the return line has 1-1/2" female threads
exposed, screw in the universal wall fitting
by hand. Turn the quick disconnect clock-
wise (also by hand) into the universal wall
fitting to tighten it into place; do not over-
tighten. 
Once the universal wall fitting is
secure, the quick disconnect can be
removed without removing the universal
wall fitting.

If the return line looks like the one below,
remove the parts shown and install the
universal wall fitting as described above.

If the return line looks like the one below,
remove the parts shown and install the
universal wall fitting as described above.

If the return line is a 1-1/4" or 2" eyeball fit-
ting, you will need to obtain a Polaris
Adapter Kit (part #6-510-00) from a partici-
pating Polaris dealer.

If the return line is different than those listed, 
contact our Customer Service Department at 
1-800-VAC-SWEEP.

Note: Once installed, verify the cleaner is
operating according to the Operation Section
on page 5.
