Polaris warrants the cleaning unit it manufactures, including all parts and components thereof, to be free of defects
in material and workmanship. The Polaris 165 is intended for use in vinyl-lined, fiberglass, or tile swimming pools only.
This warranty does not apply if the Polaris 165 is used in any other type of pool. The warranty does not cover normal
replacement items, including the filter bag. We do not cover improper installation of the Polaris Vac-Sweep 165. The
instruction manual should be read in its entirety before the installation of the Polaris Vac-Sweep 165. All installation
instructions should be carefully followed. Failure to follow the installation instructions may void this warranty. If you
have any questions regarding your Polaris Vac-Sweep 165, please feel free to call or write us. Be sure to include the
serial number, which can be located on the rear of your surface module above the float hose connection.
