THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU
ARE PUTTING THE POLARIS 65 AWAY FOR
THE WINTER. We suggest storing the surface
module in a clean, dry and warm environment out
of direct sunlight. The jet sweep assembly should
lay flat and the hoses should lay or hang straight.
You may want to purchase a hanger kit (part #6-
109-00) for convenient hose storage. See Section
E below and the diagram on page 4.
Remove the universal wall fitting when winter-
izing the pool. With the quick disconnect
attached, pull the quick disconnect away from the
wall as you unscrew the universal wall fitting.
Leave the universal wall fitting attached to the
quick disconnect while storing the Polaris. In
some cases, it may be necessary to use a uni-
versal wall fitting removal tool (part #10-102-00)
available from a participating Polaris dealer.
E. Accessories
1. Leaf Bag (Part #6-207-00)
The leaf bag is especially designed to collect
larger, heavier types of debris such as large
quantities of leaves and acorns.
2. Turtle Top (Part #6-309-00)
Add some fun to your pool cleaning with the
turtle replacement top.
3. Hanger Kit (Part #6-109-00)
The hanger kit is an ideal way to store the Polaris
while it is not in use. It keeps the Polaris safe and
out of the way. It also helps keep the hoses from
coiling during prolonged storage.
4. WaterStars (Part #7-400-00) and
WaterStars WF (Part #11-100-00)
Instantly beautify your pool with a Polaris Water-
Stars or WF fountain. Choose a gentle rainfall
display or a cascading waterfall display.
IV. Troubleshooting
The numbers in parentheses below refer to
specific parts on the Exploded Parts Diagram
on page 8. For best results, follow the trou-
bleshooting solutions in the order they are listed.
If none of these solutions work, contact our Cus-
tomer Service Department at 1-800-VAC-SWEEP.
A. Problems and Solutions
Problem:
Polaris 65 does not clean the
entire pool or runs slowly.
Solution:
1. Feel around the pressure relief
valve (#27). If it is not releasing
excess water, clean or backwash
the pool filter. See Section C
on page 5.
2. Check the filter screen (#33) in the
quick disconnect for debris and
clean it, if necessary.
See page 5.
3. Check that the float hose (#25) is
adjusted correctly. See page 4.
4. Check the surface module opera-
tion by following the steps below.
a. Remove the surface module top
(#1) by unscrewing the two
phillips-head screws (#14) from
the body bottom (#11) and
lifting slightly at the rear of the
surface module top.
b. Turn on the Polaris. Make sure
the randomizer tube (#8) is
moving from front to back. If it
is, refer to step c on page 7. If it
is not, the filter connector (#8)
may be clogged.
To check the filter connector,
disconnect the float hose (#25)
from the mechanism (#2) and
look into the mechanism. About
half way down in the center of
the randomizer tube, you can
see the white filter connector. If
it is covered with debris or
algae, remove the connector
chamber (#9), pull out the ran-
domizer tube and clean the filter
connector. If it is not, the piston
(#5) will need to be replaced.
