D. Storage and Winterizing
When storing the Polaris Turbo Turtle, remove
the sweep hose and float hose from the surface
module. Remove the jet sweep assembly from the
sweep hose. Drain the surface module carefully.
Turn it in all directions to aid in the removal of the
water. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN
YOU ARE PUTTING THE POLARIS TURBO
TURTLE 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
winterizing 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 universal 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. 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.
3. WaterStars (Part #7-400-00) and
WaterStars WF (Part #11-100-00)
Now you can instantly beautify your pool with a
Polaris WaterStars 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 Turbo Turtle 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 on the ran-
domizer tube and clean the filter
connector. If it is not, the piston
(#5) will need to be replaced.
